This is interesting, but why not use their API? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php It's part of mediawiki and available for each and every wikipedia subsite – as far as I can tell. We are using this as well to autocomplete data. And it wor

Ubuntu's business server is hardly something as turn-key as vagrant. We use Ubuntu on EC2 and Canonical has made so many atrocious decisions since the release of 10.04, I am not sure if I ever want to run anything from them again. =( We are

Ok, to be more obvious: by comparison, a multi-region setup is maybe over the top. Because essentially, you are distributing over something like eight data centers then. Because you cannot stay in a single AZ either – who knows what will go

This blog post is hilarious. A region in AWS speak is already multiple supposedly independent data centers (in AWS terms: AZ (availability zone)). So if an entire region fails, that's four or so data centers which all go down at the same ti

People are enjoying themselves. It's a matter of personal opinion if this is the kind of environment you want to be in. Maybe sometimes it's out of control and more a frat party than a conference. For the record, the opposite is probably no

This looks pretty interesting though I had to sign-up to figure out what they offer exactly (for 2 USD/user/month): * 10GB storage * Webmail * POP3/IMAP * Calendaring * Groupware * Mobile Sync

Not sure if I'd paint it so black and white, I think in general I have been in many of these things as well. On both ends – I guess more on the 'I'm getting a drink' one because I agree that after a while there is no reason to stay sober an

http://fastmail.fm and http://pobox.com/ are the services people keep recommending (for IMAP, SMTP, etc.). Check out this blog post about fastmail.fm: http://www.readwriteweb.com/cloud/2012/03/from-gmail-to-fast... I'm not sure how we

Are they all static (elastic) IPs? I have a similar alias file for the instances which have static IPs. But not all of my servers do. E.g. my loadbalancer has a static IP, but why would all of my app servers have one? I have a similar scrip

I'm a little let down by the detail of this blog post. For anyone who cares: we've had 6x as many documents (as linkfluence) in a single CouchDB instane before we moved to Cloudant. We now have over 360 million documents on Cloudant. Our da
