I noticed this hidden file in the <code>public/</code> directory, called <code>.htaccess</code>.</p>
<p>Do you remember the good ‘ole days?</p>
<pre><code>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dispatch.cgi?$1 [QSA,L]
</code></pre>
<p>I remember when we at <a href="http://www.planetargon.com/"><span class="caps">PLANET ARGON</span></a> first starting <a href="http://www.planetargon.com/hosting.html">hosting Ruby on Rails applications</a> (two years ago now!) and we had to continually explain to people that <a href="http://www.robbyonrails.com/articles/2005/03/16/fastcgi-installed">running on FastCGI</a> was going to significantly improve speed over their default <span class="caps">CGI</span> deployment. This was one of the first FAQs that we posted on our website.</p>
<p>...oh how we’ve come a <em>long</em> way.</p>
<p>Before you know it, we’ll be on <span class="caps">IRC</span> and talking about the good ‘ole Rails days… like we do about the <span class="caps">BBS</span> days. ;-)</p>
