Comments on: AjaxWhois 2.0 now out! http://blog.carlmercier.com/2006/10/02/ajaxwhois-20-now-out/ me = entrepreneur + hacker; Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:25:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Carl http://blog.carlmercier.com/2006/10/02/ajaxwhois-20-now-out/comment-page-1/#comment-447 Carl Tue, 21 Nov 2006 18:26:32 +0000 http://blog.carlmercier.com/?p=41#comment-447 Basically, I had plenty of weird problems with Mongrel and I couldn't find out how to fix them, so after 2 weeks of cursing, I decided to rewrite it in Python. I have many friends who are very skilled with Rails/Mongrel and they had no idea either. Basically, Mongrel would "die" in the middle of the night for no reason (zero traffic), or it would peak the CPU. Weird stuff. RoR is a much better platform to develop with than Django, however. I am back at Rails for my new project and I just hope I won't have all these issues again. Django/Python has the advantage of being easier to deploy (mod_python) and using less resources than Ruby... but Rails is so much more fun and faster to develop with!

I like it! Just wondering why you moved from .net to RoR to Python & Django? What happen to RoR? We have drank enough of Microsoft's Kool-aid and are looking at RoR. Just found ajaxwhois… I like it!

What happen to RoR?

We have drank enough of Microsoft’s Kool-aid and are looking at RoR.

I think the simplicity of it's been lost a bit though, it's quite busy now, I preferred the basic, lean design of the original. Great site though apart from that, next time I buy a domain name I'll buy it through your site! Hey,
