History

This project is

... a re-make of triopticon.com. It's April, 2009. Rails 2.3 is just out. I've been distracted for several weeks so I need to do some remedial rails work. Also, there are a host of extra-curricular activities that continue to fracture my attention: this will be rough.

Spike

  • plain old rails
  • grid960 layout & ~1700pixel page length
  • generic Flex media viewer
  • steampunk?

Re-Factor

  • cucumber & RSpec
  • Passenger

Release to portsmouth

  • copy in old content from Triopticon and Obtainium

What the other kids are doing

Hivelogic has recently installed Expression Engine as a replacement for his home-grown systems. I found the list of requirements quite interesting as it's largely congruent with the requirements for the next triopticon.com. But I don't reckon I'll be using E. E. ... or will I? http://hivelogic.com/articles/view/expressionengine-details/

When I go to the products page
And I press "Delete" for product whose name is "An awesome product" 
Then I should see "Product An awesome product deleted"
