One full-screen terminal per monitor. When you enter full-screen mode with iTerm, the second monitor shows the linen background.

Split panes are cool, but the killer feature that I would jump ship for is full screen mode for dual monitors on Lion.

It's great if you want the opposite of hand-holdy. The Arch docs boldly ask you to solve your own problems before asking for help. That said, I loved Slackware and FreeBSD when I ran them. Arch has more in common with those OSes than the De

And here's a plug for ruby-llvm! https://github.com/jvoorhis/ruby-llvm Since the LLVM type system was rewritten, I have a lot of work to do to target 3.0.

Or more directly, there is a high impedance mismatch between PaaS and existing SSH server solutions, for my reasons above. I'm not giving up on SSH for CloudFoundry altogether, but Caldecott is an elegant solution that fits our constraints

Caldecott leverages CloudFoundry's existing interfaces (e.g. router, service bindings, authentication). As a platform as a service provider, we've faced many challenges while operating OpenSSH for our customers, ranging from managing authen

Have you read Gruber before? He has some winners, for sure, but he certainly writes for the sake of amusing John Gruber.

CloudFoundry manages the application lifecycle of AppFog apps (deployment, binding to services, etc.) What you see in the open source CloudFoundry project is what we run on our servers, with minor changes in our private repo that are specif

VMware's hypervisor is solution for running CloudFoundry on a private cloud, but at AppFog we are operating CloudFoundry on AWS, with ongoing work to support other public clouds.

We are aware of the problem, and we are working to address this. Thanks for the feedback!

Python support is forthcoming. Email me at jeremy@appfog.com if you'd like to discuss in more detail.

If you want to give it another try, email me at jeremy@appfog.com and I'll set you up with a private beta account. We're committed to making it as easy as possible to get started.

We're dogfooding at AppFog. We self-host our web management console (see http://blog.appfog.com/creating-your-first-app-in-appfog-in-... ). When we needed a staging environment, it was just an `af push` away.

We at AppFog are extremely proud to be a part of the CloudFoundry ecosystem! If you want to get involved and try CloudFoundry for yourself, add your email to our list at http://appfog.com/ and I will personally add you to our private beta

Lack of documentation for busy people, and learning curve for a novel persistence engine. Many of us know how to scale MySQL, Postgres, etc. but my team has no operational knowledge for Gemstone. That said, the Gemstone/S docs are quite goo

This is a real-time conservative garbage collector designed specifically for computer music with a mechanism to simulate worst case. The overview also contains even weirder acronyms such as SATBCUCOWIVM. I was inspired to post this after re

I've worked with startups in varying capacities for 6 years and my schedule is always tight. Jack Dorsey represents the limit, but I wonder whether the topical schedule (Mon: management, Tues: product, etc.) is a good organizational tactic

The inspector is a needed improvement over previous versions. It's responsive, and shows tag, id and class info as you hover over any element.

This can be worked around by adding a gateway. Micro instances are also unsupported within a VPC, which is also a showstopper for some.

You need to foster an enclave of early adopters before you become mainstream. They tend to be geeks.

I think of the chaos monkey more like a baseball umpire: perhaps whenever your movie doesn't stop to buffer, you might thank the chaos monkey.

Allow me to share a dirty secret. If your startup makes a product that customers actually use, there will be maintenance.

Absolutely. After all, we use fabric for some administrative tasks at AppFog. You will also need to write a provisioning layer so you can add, remove and replace hosts as needed. By the time you are finished, you will have your own PaaS.
