Entire article in one meaningless quote: "Honey badger employees, though, “say ‘Screw it! I’ll figure out how to do this!’ They’ll find a way to get things done.” says Seidman".

Don't waste your time. Truism crossed with BS. without anything /actionable/.

Forbes quality is awful. I suspect it is auto generated using some huge n-gram corpus that generates random garbage.

Honey Badger don't care. Honey Badger just gonna write an article. "Screw it," says the Honey Badger, "I don't need a point."

Andrew Carnegie's actions saved lives. Steve Jobs sold shiny tat.

You're right - he'll be in some museums; increasingly few over the years, inevitably tending towards one: "The iLearn Institute of Advanced Sycophancy".

This, whatever you think of Jobs, is trolling and has no place here.

We use Cotendo and CDNetworks. Both work, and your 140Mbps is /nothing/ to either. Can't share pricing, I'm afraid. Non-JIT contracts are probably your enemy here, though - there'll be minimum term lengths for most CDNs.

Cotendo is Akamai. They were acquired.

Come over to the UK and work for us! You're doing what we like to do, except it's all fun and exciting 'n' shit ;-)

Yes, your screenshot shows you putting a CNAME in at your domain's root. The GUI should have disallowed this, as it's not permitted in DNS.

It's telling that the writer included a screenshot rather than just stating what he did. He believed the GUI was doing something for him when it was not.

Dreadful article. FTP Must Die is far more technically interesting, accurate and detailed: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie.

Their solution to FTP being in the clear is “managed FTP”? Fail.

It's not the "British Facebook", it's someone who bought the domain and pointed it towards Google Sites. See http://www.facebook.co.uk/ .

Of course, I was not able to see the Google sites connection, but it makes sense a squatter would snatch the url and direct it to their own site for affiliate monies or something along those lines

Open the www. URL and open the "sign in" link in the site footer.

Just possibilities, not suggestions (I've not used them myself):

* http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2011/8/25/java/

* http://aws.amazon.com/amis/6281452482352358 (saves you most of the EC2 setup work; perhaps)

* http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/overview.html

Thanks for the reply. For some reason I am getting more inclined towards Amazon. Wish it were simpler though, or that CloudBees was cheaper.

Great concept and nice looking implementation, Henry! I'd not remembered to check it out since you mentioned it in the pub the other (last?) week, but I'll definitely kick the tyres over the weekend :-)

Ha ha, hello John! I have since left the land of ec2 and this is running happily on a small linode instance, found it much faster for my monry. Yes my db's are in a totally different datacenter to my server but I don' think the site is that slow.

£10 says it goes down in the next 6 hours.

Hah! I don't think I'll take that bet :-)

I'm bored this w/e, so do get in touch and let me know if I can lend a hand with some back-end systems tuning ... email, or via the phone number on m'webshite (also on devwiki, under "contact numbers" IIRC)

Thank you, I am always happy to abuse a contact ;)
