miscellaneous, etc.

I have just finished up my newest website, AmigoCodes.com. The site will store your “friend codes” for Nintendo DS games and then share them with people that you add to your list of “friends”. So far I’ve only tested it with a couple of people, so I’m leaving that “Beta” stamp on there for now.

Now that the site is live, I’m trying to drive some traffic to it. I have posted the story to my two favorite news sites, Digg and Reddit. If you have a minute, please check them out and maybe vote on my story.

This is my first real Ruby and Rails application, I am really curious to see how it handles the traffic. I did some load testing myself, but it’s not the same as having people sign up and actually interacting with the site. I also rely pretty heavily on Amazon’s ECS web service and I’m hoping that doesn’t end up slowing things down.

Fingers crossed!
