> PiCloud ... one of the best products I've used It was so wonderful. And I was so disappointed that Multyvac (http://www.multyvac.com/ http://www.multyvac.com/) dropped the ball. I thought I'd be able to continue using the service ... BTW, Multyvac has one of the more hilarious "trusted by" sections I've seen on the internet.

Aaron told me they were shutting down the service shortly before I was due to go on holiday. I looked at the multivac thing and decided it was just to risky to assume they would actually pick it up (especially given their Trusted By section!) I spent a couple of weeks replacing it with celery, and then later RQ. It was the correct call, but you never know with these things. As far as it goes it was a pretty cheap lesson in not relying on external providers. Having said that, I've spent a fortune on EC2 since because I can't have micro billing like I could with picloud!
