Up and Running
So, after on and off effort for four days, I've managed to get this site up and running. Installing ozimodo and playing with Rails on a Ubuntu client was easy, and I'm impressed with my initial spelunking in Rails.
Deploying the solution to a Ubuntu server was a bitch. I persevered, and got through all the problems, but I definitely would have given up if this was my first computing experience. All the information I needed was somewhere, but some of it was in one place, some in another, bits and pieces were pulled from my own experience, and so on. It seems to me that there are some opportunities here to make this part of the deal easier.
Of course, opportunities don't necessarily equate to market opportunities.
