# Sat down to watch this video about rack    http://confreaks.net/videos/49-mwrc2009-in-a-world-of-middleware-who-needs-monolithic-applications
# About 17 min in at the moment, figured I'd verify what the guy was saying. Ended up with this simple script to generate random numbers.
# Figured I'd see if I could get it on heroku, looked up this blog I had read a few months ago   http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2009/3/5/32_deploy_merb_sinatra_or_any_rack_app_to_heroku/
# Tried it all out, and it worked!
#
# Regarding the code, I don't think it would scale well. I'll need to spend some time thinking about the implications of this sort of environment.
# For example: validating urls, handling exceptions, giving help file, generating content all in one class gets some ugly coupling between methods.

# A Rails back end for yui rich text editor's image uploader

# In this example, I created a model to store the images, with paperclip, on Amazon s3
# If you aren't familiar with Paperclip, I think there is a Railscast about it
