Progress of late has become sluggish. The Rails 2.1/ActiveScaffold 1.1.1 problems have resulted in fighting fires and trying to find magic version combinations that work.
On the train home this evening, I had a revelation. “Why am I using ActiveScaffold? I don’t need the flashy AJAX functionality”.
So, ActiveScaffold is disappearing from NetHorus. This isn’t an “ActiveScaffold is bad”, it’s a “It doesn’t do what I need it to do”. I’d rather invest time in writing my own straightfoward front-end, than spend the same amount of time tailoring ActiveScaffold.
So what about the bridges? I’m very pleased to report that despite the BRIDGE-MIB being very scary indeed, things aren’t too bad. I won’t be checking in code to Subversion until such time as the bridge management functionality can show something good, like drawing a basic STP topology.
Finally - it seems nobody out there reads this blog. If you do, can you get in touch?
