Mounting Rackspace Cloud Files locally
Since writing this I’ve discovered Cloudfuse, which, seeing as it’s designed specifically for the task at hand, might be more suitable.

How I elasticised my web app
By ‘elasticising’ I mean, separating the heavy application logic from the lighter website logic in such a way that under high demand it is a simple matter of firing up new application server clones to cater for the increased load. The other significant benefit of this is that by placing the most significant application load onto a separate server, the web server is dedicated to the sole task of serving web pages.

The Point of Meditation
“At first, I saw mountains as mountains and rivers as rivers. Then, I saw mountains were not mountains and rivers were not rivers. Finally, I see mountains again as mountains, and rivers again as rivers.”

Though it would seem problematic to constantly find oneself in an entirely new universe as each moment passes, instead, such a perspective might actually help us to cultivate a profoundly beneficial looseness and openness.

Frintr
A week ago today I launched Frintr. It’s a project, of my own inception, that I’ve been working on for 10 months. The basic gist is that you create a mosaic of your own profile picture from all the smaller profile pictures of your friends from Facebook, Twitter and Myspace, which you can then have printed and sent to you as a poster. So not only has the project been technically difficult in terms of web development, but it’s also been a huge learning curve in terms of setting up my own business and cultivating an authentic brand. What’s more, even though the site is now live, there is still plenty more work to be done.
