I originally wrote Servly to be a service where people would register and have their own personal accounts on a server. I’ve redesigned this and done a 180 and plan on making it a solution hosted by whoever uses it on their own hardware (although I may release a shared version for people to use as a software as a service… or may only release it as that, not sure yet).

There’s been a lot of work that has gone into this and it’s still quite a bit from being done but it has a lot of nice features such as aggregate overviews of all servers as well as a network graph (easily pick up on incoming DDOS’s graphically and respond instantly).

Let me know if you have any feature ideas!

This always cracks me up whenever I hit “Get Info” for a PC….BSOD!

Well I was going to write a really long blog post about this but others have already done a really good job. I had to copy all my innodb files over (when you do, make sure permissions are right) and do a pristine gem update but most of it was pretty painless…

A mixture of both and a little bit of tinkering on my own managed to get my development environment back to sanity.

Over all though I’d say the upgrade process for the actual OS worked flawlessly…. pretty much two buttons to click, sit back and watch. Kudos to Apple.
