in thread Time for an application portfolio

I'll gain the experience of how to get it running on a shared web host (I'm working on this now, and so far, it's not trivial).
Do let us know how you get on - I also have shared hosting on Pair but was under the impression that you could not run persistent processes.

    I'll write more in a later post, but for now, it's just running as a regular CGI. :( This is probably the worst way to take advantage of Mojo; I'd love to run a long-running daemon instead, but that approach is almost certainly out of the question. :)

        I don't control the whole server .. I used to be able to look at the contents of /usr/home but I can see that loophole has been closed. All I can fiddle with is my slice of the host.

        I did consider hosting this myself, but I'd rather have it somewhere it's always available, rather than somewhere a little more convenient. Part of this exercise is the implementation story. :)

        Update: However, now that I'm thinking about it, I might also add a link to something hosted locally that takes advantage of different technologies such as the ones your link points to. Serving up a Mojo add using CGI is a bit like having a mountain bike stuck in bottom gear. it works, but you're missing a lot of the experience.
