Windows Service - A project was trying to make a daemon for windows using the Ruby Win32Utils. It didn't work. The solution they came up with was to just run the thing they need in a command window and reboot the EC2 instance its on if it dies. Some suggestions for how to run a real service should it prove necessary included:
- FireDaemon
- Using visual studio
Ajax chat feature - Implemented as a first pass with a polling system, does anyone know a better way? Suggestions included:
- Comet with Rack
- Juggernaut

Rails 2.3 is out! Excitement abounds!
You can get inspired by mongrel_service gem.
I've built a framework in FreeBASIC called ServiceFB which daemon a console based application and properly send the interrupt commands to it.
