Status report

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on this blog. Some people might be asking whether I’m still alive. You’re reading this right now, so that answers the question. :)

It’s been a while since I worked on my Ruby on Rails-related projects, saving memory by using copy-on-write and prepared statements support in ActiveRecord. They were on hold for a while since I’ve been pretty busy. Right now I’m having holidays, so I think I’ll start working on them in again in the coming few weeks.

I’ve also decided to finally release a program that I wrote, in the hope that they will be useful to someone. This is the System Daemon Manager, a tool for running any program as a daemon (background process without controlling terminal) on a Unix system. I’m using this to manage my Ruby on Rails Lighttpd processes on my server.
I’ve also written a new page for the Ruby Whirlpool library and imported it into a Subversion repository.
