Thanks to the few who turned out for the meeting at rbTechnologies last night, and thanks to all the rbTechnologies guys and Rubin especially for hosting and presenting! And I'm looking forward to having more meetings in their beautiful new conference room. :)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wanbalancer/ is pretty cool. Throw it at a box with two WAN-facing network interfaces, and you get both outbound and inbound (!) balancing and failover, without internal clients even being aware. Setup round-robin DNS entries or MX records for the public facing addresses of a service and get tolerance of a single channel failure. And open-source to boot! The December meeting will be in early December, likely the 8th, and we'll have two presentations. Dan Bowles <danbowles.com>, <twitter.com/DanBowles> will be talking about jQuery, and I'll do a survey of HTML5 Game development resources. More details soon. How about "open-source photo processing tools" for January? I could speak to the little I know: using ufraw/hugin/panotools for a few things (panorama stitching, HDR imaging). Anyone else using f-spot or gimp or something else for archival and/or post-processing? -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo $...@${b}
