Cycling, REST and a Crashathon
The first five days of the new year went by very quickly. I am very excited to say that very soon, I will be launching one of my pet projects publicly. This project is about managing and sharing logs and statistics for recreational cyclists. Over the past few days, I had a chance to learn and play with quite a few things like Ruby on Rails, Garmin browser plugins, YUI, and so on. The project is not quite ready for public consumption but I have most of the key peaces in place and working, and I am planning to share it with a few of my bike buddies over the next week or so to get some feedback. I have another personal goal for this project - that is to test some of my ideas about building RESTful applications. Talking REST is easier than doing REST. I have a few more issues to tackle before I can conclude!
In the midst of all this, my MacBookPro kept crashing over 5-7 times a day. As I installed too many new things recently, it turned out to be difficult to isolate the problem. After a lot of frustration and lost hours, finally, this solution worked. Syslogd was the culprit.
