Just a quick update to let you know that I’ll be moving more of my business-related topics to the Planet Argon Blog. I invite you to subscribe to that feed as well. :-)

p.s. We just published Episode 4 of the Planet Argon Podcast, which was on the topic of Hiring designers.

If you’re coming to Portland, Oregon for RailsConf 2008 or CabooseConf… I’d like to invite you all to check out our collection of articles that we wrote to highlight some stuff to do in town. We’ll be posting a few more before the conference, but wanted to help you all plan out your visit in our wonderful little city. Portland

FeedBurner and lighttpd redirects

I haven’t been using feedburner to track counts of subscribers to my feed. I didn’t want to tell everyone to switch their feed URL… so I found this solution for handling this transition through Lighttpd.

First, make sure you are requiring the mod_redirect module.

server.modules              = ( "mod_rewrite", "mod_fastcgi", "mod_compress", "mod_redirect" )

Then add the following… to your lighty configuration.


$HTTP["useragent"] !~ "FeedBurner" {
  url.redirect = (
    "/xml/rss/feed.xml" => "http://feeds.feedburner.com/RobbyOnRails",  
    "/xml/rss20/feed.xml" => "http://feeds.feedburner.com/RobbyOnRails",
    "/xml/atom/feed.xml" => "http://feeds.feedburner.com/RobbyOnRails" 
  )
}

Works like a charm!

Thanks to Damien Tanner for putting me on the right path.

Finally! The Typo team and PLANET ARGON have finished the first phase of the move the Typo project to a new hosting provider. Currently, subversion and the trac have been moved over.

Take a look!

On the PLANET ARGON side… David Gibbons is responsible for making this happen.

If you see any issues, let us know in #typo on irc.freenode.net or in #planetargon.

On a side note… I’m sick and going to go get some rest now.
