I’ve always wanted to setup my own CVS repository. Sure, I could set one up at home, but it kind of defeats the purpose of it. I want a remote location for storing my files that is accessibly (safely and securely) from anywheres. Our previous host LiquidWeb did not support hosting CVS for individual accounts. Dreamhost does, though. My main reason to switch to Dreamhost was that they had Rails installed. They sealed the deal with their awesome prices. CVS is so nice, especially when coupled with RadRails a well-made IDE for developing with Ruby on Rails.

Now, onto the topic of this article. A Reanimated Collector Nerd. Some of you may be familiar with a project that I’ve been working on (on and off for a few years now). I haven’t worked on it in about a year until yesterday, where I quickly implemented item comments. So that when a user leaves a comment on someone’s collected item, they receive an email letting them know.

Thanks to Basecamp we now have the most resourceful collaboration software ever. This is going to help everyone compile their ideas into one big “basecamp” Too bad the free version allows on two writeboards (sigh). I’m going to try my hardest on making Collector Nerd (on Rails) a reality! I want this to happen. Bad.
