I have been working on upgrading this site to run under Drupal 7 - not without its challenges - but the problems were solved one by one, until just one major one was left.

It turns out that the "Blog API" calls that enable external editors like Ecto to communicate with Drupal was removed from the core in the move to Drupal 7. And it is currently not available - so this is a showstopper for me.

On a positive note - the blog Api module project has reached its goals for chipin contribution and expects to have the module ready around January 1st - 2012.

So I'll wait for this.

We just got a lot of emails bounced due to a listing in the Spamhaus PBL database - which mistakenly thought that our mailserver operated from a dynamic IP address.

Should now be fixed.

At long last I managed to get my first Ruby On Rails application displaying something :

using the "acts_as_dashboard" gem I managed to pull data from some of the Jeeduino/Arduino sensors dotted around the house, and using various AJAX calls I can get the screen to dynamically update these values.

I know - this is not terribly advanced, but at least it is a start.

I've created a page for sample code for accessing data from the Wattson energy meter.
