When you should (and should not) think about using Amazon EC2
Thursday, August 24th, 2006
The Amazon AWS team has done it again. And EC2 is generating quite the talk. Perhaps I’ve not been watching the blogosphere closely enough about anything in particular until now (very likely) but I’ve not really seen this much general excitement. The ferver I see going around is alot like a kid at christmas. You [...]
As a side note…
Thursday, August 24th, 2006
I’ve also subscribed to an Amazon EC2 search at pubsup, technorati, and feedster. I’ll be watching the 3 to see which yeilds the most A) unique, and B) valuable results over time. At the time of subscription PubSub: 0 New Hits, 0 Good, 0 Bad Technorati: 20 New Hits, 15 Good, 5 Bad Feedster: 10 [...]
Oh… And…

I would also expect that, to save money for their users you will be seeing FreeBSD, Gentoo, Redhat, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Debian mirrors by EC2 and for EC2… (e.g. no traffic allowed except inside the DC.) And if Amazon is *SMART* they will provide this service to the distributions at no charge. This will, almost [...]
The internet is all a-buz about amazon
Thursday, August 24th, 2006
And rightly so! Amazon has, quite simply, outdone themselves this time. However before we go running through the streets lets make sure the emperor really does wear clothes.

Bash wizardry: Command Line Switches
Monday, August 21st, 2006
If you’re like me (and God help you if you are) You write a lot of bash scripts… When something comes up bash is a VERY handy language to use because it’s a) portable (between almost all *nixes), b) lightweight, and c) flexible (thanks to the plethora of linux commands which can be piped together) [...]
The web already has the next office suite. Its called a blog.
Sunday, August 20th, 2006
I’m really suprised thateverybody is trying to create the “web based office” from scratch. We have a huge elephant in the room: the weblog. Scrap the idea that we have to have a desktop app for the next gen of desktop tools. Scrap the idea that we have to make something which is a word [...]
Pet Project
Saturday, August 19th, 2006
I’ve started a pet project. Its a remote tripwire like program. I’m doing it in python (largly because I want to learn python better.) I prototyped it in bash (heheh, so it cant be that hard of a project to make,) but moving it to something more real (and using sqlite instead of my “cat [...]
