Hi,

> From idea to launch in less than 48 hours (those 48 hours including  
> the new year party 😉 , rails once again showed its effectiveness.

Last friday I read the news about a guy who sold a million pixels for  
1$ each on his homepage. After slamming my head during half an hour  
for not having thought of it [1], I thought I’d better spend some time  
on a rails project, and more as a therapy than in the hope to become a  
millionair, I put [http://milliondollarweek.com](http://milliondollarweek.com) in place.

It was a real pleasure to see the implementation progress that fast:  
design the database schema, generate scaffold, adapt the scaffold, add  
an engine for authentication. In less than 24 hours the infrastructure  
was in place and I spent as much time on content and simple CSS as on  
development.

So thanks rails for saving my sanity (though some doubt I ever had it  
at all) and giving me fun.

Raph

[1] my consolation being that even if I had thought of it I surely  
wouldn’t have done it 🙂

Am I supposed to see a [trucksharing.com](http://trucksharing.com) site in french? What does  
that have to do with milliondollarweek? I’m, confused.

Thanks

He’s selling redirects in one minute increments, so thats who’s got it  
now.  
I’m not sure how he’s supposed to advertise the service though, if you  
just  
get  
redirected when you try to visit the site.
