   I've run a Jekyll site from S3 with no difficulty, at a satisfactorily low hosting cost. Cloudfront takes only minutes to setup, and the costs are competitive, so I imagine it's a promising route.

   The power company told my family in PA that the power will probably be out for a week. They are charging their phones at my father's hospital office (possibly drawing off of the generators.) The news reports that roofs have been torn off of

   I love Evernote as a productivity tool, and I do have a few decent recipes buried within, but I have doubts about adding first class support for them (a la Evernote food), or first class support for this or that. Evernote have done an amazi

   With AppFog [1], you can get WordPress with the tantan-s3 plugin pre-installed for uploads so you can share nothing (but the database) and scale with a click. You also get Varnish caching with no additional work. Full disclosure: I am an en

   Nearby Pingdom? It's always possible that you're in the same data center. In theory, CloudFront pages are always hosted nearby.

   This reminds me of HipHop for PHP. HipHop lowers PHP to C++, with a direct mapping for control flow (control structures, exceptions) and a runtime library for everything else. Apparently it works very well.

    Your concerns are valid. It costs nothing but a few minutes to start an open source project. Projects of this scope, however, do benefit from some amount of early design and planning. After reading PHK's recent rant [1], and reflecting on B

    That's exactly right. I was part of a similar audit at a past company during their exit. We essentially had to inventory the license of every Rails plugin, script, etc. we had ever used.

    " If I didn't have an SMS, the services were up and running." I wildly agree. I'm more apt to deploy a second monitoring system than replace one. I don't worry until it reaches the PagerDuty threshold.

    I just wanted to share my first D3 project. There is plenty of duplication, and the CSS is provisional, but I wanted to share before taking the time to polish.

    If by addiction to money, you mean necessity for it to pay the bills, then this is true for most workers. I suspect those of us electing to work upwards of 60 hrs/week at startups have other issues to work out beyond the allure of money.

    Pry is pretty cool. It adds some debugger-like features and editor integration, adds some convenient built-in commands, and improves on the UI in similar ways to bpython.
