http://www.thewebfellas.com/blog/2008/6/9/rails-2-1-now-with-better-integrated-caching

Rails now supports memcache out-of-the-box, as well as other solutions.

Here’s hoping at least one of my projects will ever need to scale.

I’m reconnecting with the internet today. Not on purpose, really, but I’m not really focused on any particular task or line of thought. Not catching up on TheMyFace, or email, or searching for the next way to code the next thing. Just doing what we used to call surfing. It’s been a while. I guess I’d been missing this.

Today, I read some Tim Bray, which led me madly off in a number of directions. One of those took me to Chad Fowler, whom I’d never read online. Turns out he did a little project with ze frank, who, it turns out, sounds just like ze frank when he tweets. He’s now following me. Twitter is strange. Mr. Fowler also worked on a project which is like Hot or Not, but for code. It’s surprisingly addictive. Hot or Not itself is the same as it ever was. It turns out I’m still not a generous guy. Whilst poking about on Twitter, I did my part to improve up-time by dropping two famous people. Also bumped into an ad network called The DECK. I should be so lucky as to ever attract their attention.

And so it goes. A little slice of my Saturday.

No links provided, because I’m lazy and not especially motivated to seek the Google juice today.

We just launched a new site for a client at the University of Guelph. The Global Environmental Change Group, from the Geography Department, were looking for a simple, effective web presence. GECG members attend a fair number of conferences, and people had been asking about their website, so they brought us in to give their organization an appropriate presence on the web. Nothing too flashy, just something pleasing and professional where they could showcase their work. We hope you like the results.

CBC has cancelled one of my favourite shows, jPod. So, we at Resonant Studios have started an online petition at savejpod.ca to try to convince CBC to put the show back on the air. Head on over there and show your support for a quality product.

The FeedWordPress plugin is wildly useful. More on this soon.
