Php vs Ror

Im currently trying to scope out a project I want to get started, bare bones of it is that its a portfolio system with resume building. I know what your thinking, Krop right? well I'm not going to lie, its got similar functionality.

I wondered, I'm an AS3 Developer by profession and have been umming and arring about weather to brief the project in to a ror dev or a php dev.

Does anyone know of any reason to sway with one over the other. I prefer ror becuase of its mvc basis but of with regards to the project itself I don't want someone to have to re-invent the wheel to get a cms system in place which is where maybe php comes in to its strength.

Self hosted ffffound

With the rise of ffffound, dropular, imgfave, vi.sualize.us etc... Am I the only one who is contemplating just creating there own self hosted image bookmarking site? I'm aware of http://www.vnovember.com/ but has anyone else had the same feeling that putting all there hard earned image finds on to someone else's platform in the long term is a bit stupid.

Considering that content is king do you reckon it would be worth while building a personal image bookmarking site or just simply be a user on these sites ( or not in the ffffound instance )

I'm aware that the real value of these sites is the sharing / caring aspect but I for instance use my dropular account as more of a place just to put a load of inspiring stuff for myself, unfortunately the sharing / caring is extra.

Did anyone else get an email from asking for a fffound invite?
eg

Hi I saw your post on QBN and was wondering if you have an INVITE?

I would like an invite to the site. Thank you so much!

Emailing people for a ffffound invite?! what the hell is going on. Seriously can we not just burn these people at the stake?

Mac Mini?

Looking at selling up an old g5 tower to replace it with a mac mini. Current setup is a nas, a couple external hardrive's hooked up to a g5 which in turn is hooked up to the tv. Does anyone have a mac mini and recommends it? or do you reckon a hacked apple tv is the best route?

Wordpress || Expression for Flash?

Thought i'd throw a question out here, Currently thinking about undergoing a project to create a news site of sorts.

I know what your thinking Flash?! Before you ask, The reasoning is primarily because that's what I do for a living plus I really want a good project to get my teeth in to, to expand my flash/flex knowledge specifically the FP 10's Text Engine

Anyway, was wondering weather anyone has had any experience pulling wordpress out to flash or alternatively expression engine ( can't find anything on EE as a CMS for flash) I'm aware of these for wordpress though.

Drobo alternative?

Hey,
Im desperately trying to hunt down a alternative to a drobo, I've read way to many reviews that say these are unreliable. All I'm really looking for is up to 8tb's of space to act as a media library / backup, Im not too fussed about it being raid.

Does anyone know a decent alternative or have a recommendation on how the backup their video production files?

Google + Sub-domains?

Currently thinking of sorting out a new look for my website, thing is I have several different sections, for instance one section will be a labs section which of course is very different from a showcase/portfolio section. For me it would make the most sense to have labs.example.co.uk rather than example.co.uk/labs/

Has anyone had experience on how google handle's sub domains from one address?

Cheers
