What kind of support are you going to be wanting?

Not had any issues with pgrmr support or reliability myself, but can't recomend linode/slicehost enough - personally slightly prefer slicehost, but use linode as well since slicehost don't have UK servers. edit: oh, and possibly consider ww

The two biggest helpers are networking and past-endorsements, both of which can be helped by sites like LinkedIn. Your quote about saving 10 hours a day - try and get that as a formalised written recomendation, and do so for all future clie

Afraid I don't have any others, but can certainly receommend peepcode - just hope they keep on growing into new areas.

That's clever, too!

You do realise that my code does regenerate the static site, i.e. fastest possible loading times? As to "tweets when I wrote this post" - think for the most part they'd be fairly unrelated and therefore pointless but... would be very doable

My insomnia is, annoyingly, pretty hard to beat. Part of it is genericly caused, and part of it is delayed sleep-phase syndrome, both of which can be helped by various well-known practises, many of which have already been mentioned here - h

Try out http://www.stereopsis.com/flux/ - I don't know if it actually helps of if it's just a placebo, but it certainly seems to help my insomnia.

I can't believe (yet love) that you wrote code to demonstrate your point.

As pedoh said, the advantage of cloud options is the ability to scale flexibly. VPS, however, is actually more aligned to dedicated servers. Sure, because their hardware limits are manually imposed by virtualisation software, you can scale

"It's actually harder to disallow spaces" Traditionally, when deciding what password characters to allow/disallow, everyone thinks in terms of what to allow, not what to disallow. For example, a system that only allows alphanumeric characte

In what way? The only difference is that I update the static code without checking if there is a new tweet - it doesn't exactly take a huge toll on the server to update that code in two files every half hour, it also means that if a tweet g

Interesting concept, wouldn't want it on a blog of mine, though. Out of interest, do you just offer to post the first comment, or could someone for example ask for 100 comments on a single youtube video, making it look like lots of users co

Agree that Apache on Windows is terrible, but IIS7 is still awful compared to pretty much any of the major linux-based webservers.

For the most part I would agree with you, however every now and then you do see some truly interesting follow-ups, feedback and discussion in comments. It depends on the subject of your blog, the subject of the specific post in question, an

Some of your features are great, but my personal view is that your solution is suitible for people who don't understand how to get the best out of their websites. I'd far rather maintain full control over the features I do/don't have, and f

On my perosnal blog I actually chose not to have any comments system, partly because I'm using Jekyll, a static site generator, and I chose loading time over encorporating a PHP or JS comments system, and partly also because, if someone has

Pained me to have to click IIS because half my company's servers are Windows :( Other half, and my personal servers, are Apache/Nginx
