Server move and Tasty planner update.
Filed Under General
I am sure if you read my blog, you are aware that Steelpixel Hosting has been “acquired” by RailsPlayground for an undisclosed sum of nothing (read: $0). I made a major MAJOR mistake with the hosting server and the easiest route was to just move people to a new service. The control panel hard drive died, it was also our “backup” server and we didn’t have any external copies of the customer data. Luckily the websites were intact on another server, we just lost CC and control panel data.
The current blog you are reading is on my new private server (vps) running both nginx (rails) and litespeed (php). I have almost all my sites moved over to this box, I think I only have 4 or 5 more to move at this point. I am also thinking about setting up a new blog geared more towards my rails work, I find a lot of nifty tips that I feel should be shared because the search results on these issues are totally lacking. I will link to it once I get it up.
Tasty Planner our 1st place app, has been updated. We have really revamped the Menu Planning, Grocery List Creator, our Chef list, and the Recipe Sharing portions. We added popularity algorithms to recipes, changed our backend search engine (sphinx now), focused on SEO a bit, and tried to really clean up the UI. You can also find a brand spankin new Recent Recipe Atom feed if you are curious to follow new recipes up to the minute :).

Hi
Just checked out tastyplanner.com … a wonderful website. I am sure it can do quite well. The shopping list feature and other features are all very neat and the design is just awesome
Congratulations on winning the first prize. My wife is now a member of tasty planner
