Tax Season, New Host
Thirdchord has been put into a sort of stalemate right now while a few things happen. 1st, it has been tax season and I have been juggling TurboTax and a day job that has been slowly creeping into my night job.
Second, I plan to completely rebuild ThirdChord.com using Ruby on Rails. So while I attempt to teach myself this new technology, things may move slowly.
In anticipation for Ruby on Rails, I’ve had to switch to a web host that supports it. Thirdchord.com has a blog and a forum both of which have databases. In addition thirdchord.com it self has a few databases so in short this makes for a couple of nights dedicated just to switching from one host to another.
Finally, ThirdChord the application is managed on my home computer using Subversion for version control. This awesome new hosting company I have chosen (Dreamhost), just so happens to have Subversion installed on its hosting accounts. So I am going to move the whole repository over to the webserver so that I can make this a true Open Source Project. Contributors welcome!

I love using dreamhost, super easy to use and good support. love the easy one-click installs.

the install wasnt too bad. it’s learning ruby coming from a PHP background that is killing me. im just going to have to use brut force though…
i dont want to jump the gun, but so far dreamhost has been, well a dream.

hi fowskwe, been trying to contact you on HH. I want to use Thirdchord on the BL site. We gave up on Xtempor. The easybe stuff just wouldn’t work. My question is has the browser incompatibility been fixed? (safari, firefox)

Giles,
As far as I can tell, it definitley works for me on firefox. I have not fully tested Safari, but I recall while clicking around on the demo, it was ok… Check the forum for a more detailed answer to the problem you encountered.
