High Scalability – High Scalability – Is it time to get rid of the Linux OS model in the cloud?. I’ve sometimes thought about where we are and where we come from in terms of programming. Programmers have this habit of falling for new and shiny things. So I read this article with some interest as -

But those of you who follow me on twitter lately have been treated to a number of tweets and retweets from me about some bills before the US legislative bodies called “SOPA” and “PIPA”.

When I started teaching myself scripting languages, I started with Perl. One Perl motto is “TMTOWTDI” — “There’s More Than One Way To Do It,” and pronounced “tim-toady.” The idea is that there’s likely multiple ways to accomplish the very same thing, and the culture of the language encourages finding novel ways to do things. I’ve [...] -

Right prior to ZendCon 2010 I released an album called Coronal Loop Safari. It was a decent album, but not one that really “fit” well with the style that I find most compelling. The album was a little “rock-y” but mostly dance-like. Given that I’ve been a metalhead since the day of my birth the -

Found out something interesting. If you’ll notice there are no blog posts on how to debug PHP with the DevCloud. That’s because while I can get it to work quite easily with Studio I was having a bear of a time getting it to work with anything else. Since Studio worked I knew it was -
