Don't forget to upload the talk!
That's a great point. Heroku also has a great deployment process. Very quick and automated.
Google heroku and mor.ph labs. It's the GAE equivalent for Ruby. They both offer free basic accounts just like GAE.
I really, really recommend staying FAR FAR away from fast cgi. I'm surprised it's supported at in Rails. Phusion Passenger (aka mod_rails) is the shared hosting solution that you want. I know Dreamhost supports mod_rails. I'm sure there are others,…
I know this is late for you but in case others need to know about hosting...
I've recently deployed multiple rails projects to hostingrails.com. For about $6/month you can have multiple rails apps on fast cgi. For a little more you can add a mongre…
I have signed up for Rails hosting with lunarpages.com (shared hosting). The only complaint I have is that it does not easily support multiple Rails applications. Have to learn how to do that before I can post an opinion. For the initial application…
I am sorry, but with a question like that I can't help but think of what a great philosopher once said..
Donuts. Is there anything they can't do?.
-Homer (as in Simpson, not that other one)
Sorry I'm a bit late to this discussion. But,
- dreamhost is a pretty good option
- only find hosts that use Passenger Phusion (do NOT use fast cgi)
Of course, everything is relative to what you're will to spend. Slicehost is a great option for a…

- If you want to expand it eventually, start with imagining the trailer. Write a script that has all the elements of a solid trailer in it (this is a lesson I keep having to learn). Read the parts of the script for the trailer out loud to your kids. Can they see it? Does it grab them? Have a group of community theater people or even a dinner party of your friends read your complete script out loud to a small audience. Does it work?Do they laugh at the funny parts? Record the reading. Listen to it many times. Does the dialog excite you enough to give up countless hours in the sunshine to bring this to life?
If so, do some character sketches. Refine the differences between the characters. Is the piece action driven? Is it dialog driven? If action, you probably want to do it in CG and in 3D (seems to be the rage now). If dialog/story driven, you can do it in any animation genre.
Once you choose a style and form, begin storyboarding. Later you will turn the storyboard into a slide show with the dialog recording you did.
The more time you spend on these pre-production elements, the better the final project. We spent 6 years in pre-production on our film. By the time you are at this point, the hardware / software options might be radically different. Let me know how it goes!!!!

- What role will you play? Writer, Director, Producer, Animator, etc or All-of-the-above? Then I can give you a plan.

The FAQ is a good place to learn about the site. You may want to join some of the interest groups such as Java Developers, RoR Hackers and DB Admins & Devs.
We hope you find TechHui useful and invite others. See you in the groups and forums!
