Nice writeup of the prickly network bits related to Consul and docker.

You nailed it, Sir. This "zopeness" is exactly what kept me from adopting AngularJs.
Re:Programming Languages - Hyperpolyglot on Wednesday July 24, 2013 @11:46AM (#6096821)
As a python hacker, who also uses WordPress for fun and profit-- this site is a dream resource. We use postgresql and redis with django, and we use mysql with php for WordPress. So, the "Interpreted Languages" pages, and the "Databases" pages are always pinned in firefox.
Re:New Rackspace Developer Center on Friday May 31, 2013 @12:37AM (#5796884)
I'm looking forward to using the new rackspace automation included in ansible. Especially for spin-up and tear-down of staging sites.
Several terminals are my IDE. The font and the transparent background are my theme. If you're staring at terminals for 4 to 8 hours-a-day a good combination of font, text colors, and background keep the text from floating away on your burned-in retina.
Nerdiness is evolution. Flowers are colorful and fancy to attract bees. Transparent terminals are colourful and fancy to attract hackers (aka users).
Re:Linode vs. DigitalOcean – performance benchmarks on Tuesday February 12, 2013 @04:06PM (#5209530)
I've been using rackspace for a year now and have had a great run of it. I did get a call early on, but I did not register as creepy. The service has been great, except for one ubuntu kernel bug caused by me using an old image to build some servers on their new openstack systems. That was confusing.

I really like openstack. As a python hacker, it's the bee's knees.
