Blog Thoughts
Its Alive

My blog and the rest of my sites are back up again, running on new hardware.

The 2nd backup server/thumbnail processor is still waiting on some heat sinks before it can get installed but now were running on a server with next day dell support.

I’ll have more details on webthumb changes once the dns has been updated. But the biggest difference will be a full time backup API which will be available all the time and support transparent fail over.

The pear wiki, and phpdoc.org should be back as well.

Weekly Link Round-Up #53

Another busy week for me. I’ve finally finished my review of my experience at An Event Apart Chicago, and I will be publishing it later this week.

  • Free Site Validator

    Scan your entire website to search for validation errors. Although, when I tried it, it didn’t seem to get further than the home page. Good idea in concept at least.

  • @font-face in IE: Making Web Fonts Work

    Jon Tangerine discuses how the current state of @font-face embedding and how to implement it.

  • Prototyping with XHTML

    Really nice overview of the process of prototyping. It’s not anything we don’t already know, but it’s nice to see the entire process described in words.

  • Expression Engine Developer’s Toolbox

    Expression Engine seems to be the hot new thing and for good reasons. I have begun to play with a little bit, but I am trying to learn as much as possible about it.
