Busy Summer

Apologies for the dead air, but it’s been a hectic few months. Our Rails development has gone into overdrive, keeping us busy nonstop. And Slicehost, our leap into the world of consumer hosting, has launched. Don’t worry, our same great managed services for business customers are still in place, just under a different name.

New to wikis?

This overview is for you.

Something we found happening a lot was this: during research, we’d discover lots of little facts. We’d file these away on pages already devoted to hacks or potential hacks. Later, when we came to write these, we’d find the notes we’d recorded but forgotten, and the writing would be better for it. Often, one of us would make a note, and the other would happen to run across it, and know more about it. Because the whole book was written on our private wiki, it benefited from these ideas that we could capture without breaking stride—in fact, it was only the easy editing that a wiki provides that allowed us to record these ideas at all. Had it been any harder, we wouldn’t have wanted to pause while writing one hack to jot down ideas on another.

A hosting revolution

You’ve read us complain about the hosting industry for quite sometime. We already provide managed hosting for several business customers and recently upgrade our NOC facilities. The result?

Getting Lean with Web Apps

From Fast Company’s blog:

Instead of funding a huge software project, the small business owner simply rents time on a standardized system, with costs spread across thousands of users. Instead of buying software, you run web-based software. Your PC becomes the terminal, and your service provider acts as the “mainframe.”
Sound confusing? It isn’t. It’s actually liberating. Some of these products can get your staff excited about IT again, bringing a new level of creativity into your organization while adding security and data redundancy that your full-time IT person negleted to implement.
