Austin City Limits is this weekend and will mark the launch of the public beta of PicRave.
Oh yes!

I’ve been doing a lot of playing with memcached lately. Wow. I’ll write some more detailed information about my tests later. Of course, it doesn’t help much with writes but if you’ve got a ton of relatively static information pulled dynamically from your database, memcached is the way to go.
Hooray for technology. Hooray for memcached.
I’ve been looking at switching up the way I host a lot of my sites–especially PicRave–which will, in turn, make everything a hell of a lot more scalable than my current way of doing things.
- Joyent seems promising. Its “Accelerator” specifically. Everything on their technical specifications page seems top notch. Basically, I could just upgrade my plan as I go and not have to worry about adding more servers manually, configuring network hardware, provisioning the added servers and worrying about different levels of replication, high availability, and monitoring.
- Keep hosting with ThePlanet and grow as I need to but have all of the problems I basically wouldn’t have it I went with Joyent.
- Do some colocation and buy my own hardware. Haha, yeah right.
I’m going to give it a test run with their basic plan and see how that goes. I’ll report back here with more information as I build out my slice there.
