Scalable web architectures

August 3rd, 2007

I’ve been reading a lot about scalable web architectures lately and made a big enough collection of links to see that this could be interesting to others. Instead of putting all those links here in this blog, I’ve started a separate blog here http://www.royans.net/arch/. If you have an interesting link/links to share please send it over to me.

If you upload a lot of content and to a lot of different websites, you might be frustrated at times about how repetitive things can be. Check out Fireuploader.

Testing your webpage using 43 different browsers versions

July 30th, 2007

I found this amazing tool called browsershots while browsing today. It takes a snapshot of any URL using 43 different brands/versions of browsers. Its not instantaneous, but if you are willing to wait a few minutes it can save you a lot of pain.

Tracking events and conferences

July 30th, 2007

Scoble discusses a relatively new site called upcoming to track new upcoming events.

I’ve picked the best events from my friends and added them to my own profile there. If I can’t make an event, but think it’s a good one for you to consider I say “I’m watching.” You can see which events I’m attending as well. What you can’t see is that when you have a ton of friends that you’ve hand picked, like I have, whenever you sign into Upcoming.org it’ll show you new events that your friends have added that you should consider. Then you can see what those events are, and who is attending them.

A soundball.. an interesting idea.
