in How to Speed up Your Django Sites on Code Spatter
Great post, even for us non-Djangoers.

One other tip on the serving-static-files thing: move them off your server entirely and don't even use the processing power. Store them on S3. From there, you can use the CDN and map multiple subdomains to the content, so you can spread your requests across multiple subdomains.

The reason for this is that web browsers will not open more than N connections to a given domain. Mapping them across multiple subdomains means that an image/static-heavy page will open even more connections and load concurrently.

Greg Allard Yeah amazon's content distribution network is awesome and not a bad price. I'd like to hook that up sometime soon. I didn't know that subdomains would help with the browser limit. That's a good idea.

Hi David, I saw you came to my site via MyBlogLog, so I checked out your site. This post caught my eye, especially #2

"Sexy sucks, boring is always better." Not sure what the second sentence is referring to, but the first is worth it. It's like Warren Buffet investing logic: don't try to make money though buying and selling, shooting for huge quick gains. It's sexy, sure. But if you invest with a boring strategy of "make money slowly over time through purchasing good companies", it works.

in Just Heard About an Open-Source Database Conference on Code Spatter
One of the nice things about living in Orlando is that sometimes, conferences come to us. I just signed up for IzeaFest a few minutes ago, because I got a coupon that took the price to $10 from $65, there's open bar on the first night, and Merlin Mann is presenting.

Greg Allard The same Izea that hired the models for that after party before?

I've thought about this before. It's almost cliche to bring it up, but it sounds a *lot* like the RIAA and the recording industry.

The only solution I can think of is to have high enough margins on existing business to support a healthy and aggressive R&D department

in Careful with Numeric Data Types in MySQL on Code Spatter
Any ideas as to why they did that? It seems like an awkward syntax; where we usually input a storage size, they went with a display size value. Something like this would be more useful on a LONGTEXT field.

At BarCampOrlando this year, someone mentioned that when they get negative feedback on something, no matter how bad it was, they reply with "So, other than that, how's are things working out for you?"

Sounds like a lot of fun. You should get a good airplane-seat-neck-pillow-thing.

And happy birthday, Finn.
