Tracks::GTD who's using it?

I came to read this forum to get ideas before starting a Ruby on Rails (a web development system) project to do 43 folders.

I found in nearly the last post I read a reference to Tracks::GTD (http://www.rousette.org.uk/projects/).

Being a Ruby on Rails app, you can just install Ruby, then Rails on your computer (Windows, Linux, OSX...) and in a few minutes have Tracks running.

It looks good to me so far.

Who else is using it? any comments or pointers?

I REALLY would like to...

I REALLY would like to use it...but setting it up is not for the Linux noob (like me).

I emailed the dev and they got back very quickly and nice and it helped that one problem that I had. But it ships with a default webserver setup (that is not Apache) and I (cause I don't know...that is the noob part) don't know how to try to reconfigure it to use Apache. It uses WEBrick (which I have never heard of) as the default webserver to run on.

I am not sure my Rails is configured correctly, nor Ruby for that manner. I followed a guide that I found and I thought that it was installed. But now I am not so sure.

So, if I cannot have it running by the end of the week (2/17) I am going to abort the attempt and move on to something else.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
