Templation Now on Github
2008.04.14 15:37
These days I'm mostly doing Ruby work, so it should come as no surprise as I'm part of the mass exodus from Subversion to Git. Let's face it, Subversion is only an acceptable SCM in comparison to CVS. The only thing that's kept from moving to another system has been the lack of critical mass of any of the superior systems. What use is a SCM if none of your fellow developers are using it?
Okay so with the recent release of Github and the Ruby on Rails project officially switching, the time just seems right. I'm moving all my personal open source projects over to Github.

Hey maybe this is even a harbringer of a Ruby version of Templation. Could be sweet?
Site Back Up!
2008.04.14 15:29
A few of you noticed this site has been down for a couple months. This was due to an urgent need to get my email off of TextDrive whose service deteriorated under an increasingly dismissive and unaccountable attitude from the administration there who apparently have more important things to do than worry about whether their shared mail servers are blacklisted or even able to process mail in a reasonable amount of time (say less than several hours). I simply pointed my DNS to Dreamhost but didn't have time to migrate the sites over.
However after this site being down for a couple months, I realize that what I should have done is to simply point my A record to TextDrive so I can continue to host this site which has performed well over the years at TextDrive (I do have lifetime hosting here). I have done so now, and will continue to maintain the site going forward.
Templation Still Supported

It's obvious that not a lot is happening with Templation these days. The reason for that is that Templation already does what I need. In essence I believe it should remain a extremely simple and lightweight project, however I have a lot of ideas of how to make Templation more useful for beginners and non-programmers.
Over the past year I've helped a trickle of individuals set up and use Templation, but I haven't gotten any feature requests or bug reports. If you are using Templation, or thinking about using it, I encourage you to get ahold of me. Currently I'm mostly doing Rails work, but I'm happy to return to Templation any time and put in some work to meet people's needs.
I still believe in Templation as a totally unique solution to a common problem. The prior roadmap still stands, but without a timeline.
