I used Engine Yard Solo for working with AWS. It's great service and really easy to get started with Rails app on EC2. You've got to wrap your head around how EC2 works but I really love the ability to start up a brand new server on the fly

I'm actually getting rid of my TV when I move. It's not worth the cost, plus 90% of what I watch is on Hulu the next day anyway. I've also thought about buying a Slingbox and hooking it up to my parents cable if I really miss some shows tha

If they had known it was illegal, do you suppose they would have done it? If they wouldn't have, then there would be one less salsa company and the jobs for that company never would have been created. The people who living in fear of someth

I'm using EngineYard Solo which is a great deal ($25 minimum) and perfect to get up and running quickly. They're also working on tools to help scale applications across multiple instances. I couldn't recommend Solo enough if you're just get

While I was in the Navy, I coded in my 2'x 6.5' rack on my ship while deployed and while the AC in my berthing was broken. It was 105 degrees inside my berthing (that I shared with 25 other guys) and the AC motor had caught fire so we were
