So BlueHost went and updated Rails to 2.0 without telling anyone. This killed my blog until I upgraded to the latest version of Typo, which was harder than it ought to have been because BlueHost changed some other things around too (such as how FastCGI scripts are handled) and added some misleading items to cPanel that give the impression that Rails apps should now be run through Mongrel. And Rails apps do, in fact, start up in Mongrel when started through cPanel, but the rewrites that cPanel says you need to do don't actually work, and the Mongrel process dies after several minutes anyway.
Sigh.
Anyway, it's back up now, and I've frozen Rails so that hopefully (please oh please) it won't break again when BlueHost goes on a non-compatible update spree the next time.
Hmm, maybe I should actually start posting things again now. Wouldn't that be crazy?
