Over the life of the Internet I have created innumerable web sites (many corporate 'internal' sites) and many have become extinct. After discovering Ruby-on-Rails (around 2006) I have become a Serial Rails Developer. When asked "What have you done?" I am at a loss for more than the site on which I most recently worked. This is my personal inventory of Rails Sites (simply as a memory aid for me).

Recently I encountered a strange error in a capistrano script that has always worked in the past. Apparently, it was the result of an update to the net-ssh gem on my Nitrous box
Cap Deploy rollback on Net::SSH::Authentication error
I use Nitrous as my primary development environment. The ability to work on any one of a number of projects at any time and from anywhere is simply too convenient to overlook. {As a matter of fact, I am writing this on a Nitrous box from a hospital bed!}
On a site I have been maintaining and continuously updating (on a drogo - Ruby/Rails Nitrous box), my capistrano deploy script failed one day.
One day my Capistrano deploy for the site returned
[deploy:update_code] exception while rolling back: Capistrano::ConnectionError, connection failed for: ...
The error message was a bit confusing because it pointed to SSH authentication

Recently, I needed to make changes to a MySQL database on a deployed application. My development setup is on a Nitrous.IO box but I found it necessary to make a quick surgical edit of the database {the client had messed up an input and it was easiest to simply edit the record's association}

Constructing Web-facing pages, from Github Gists, on Bl.ocks.org - Nitrous-Charged
A previously working Rails app, after a successful Capistrano deploy cycle, stops responding and the server returns the http status code 504.
I was able to successfully access the Droplet by way of SSH. Looking at the logs I noticed the unicorn server was having trouble [re]starting.
