No, I don't work in NYC, DC, or the valley, and I'm cool with that.
I just noticed that Passenger has finally released. If you haven’t heard of this, it basically does for Rails deployment what mod_php does for PHP. I gave it a try on a test server I run, and it works as easily as advertised. I had it up and running in about 10 minutes. Check out the user docs — it’s a pretty slick package, from the looks of things.
