A while ago I heard about an add-on for Visual Studio called Jetbrains Resharper – most people reading this article have probably heard of it, too. Anyway, I downloaded the evaluation version from the Resharper website and tried it out. If you are prepared to deal with a very slight slow-down in your Visual Studio environment (inevitable with add-ons) it’s an add-on well worth investigating.

The White House Web team decided to go with open source software for www.whitehouse.gov   “We now have a technology platform to get more and more voices on the site,” announced White House new media director Macon Phillips to the Associated Press. “This is state-of-the-art technology and the government is a participant in it.”White House officials described the change as similar to rebuilding the foundation of a building without changing the street-level appearance of the facade.

I feel as if we just crossed this path the other day. But that’s okay. On the grand scale of “pony-themed games” to “extremely useful freeware applications,” automatic application installers–or package mangers–tend to fall toward the latter end of the spectrum.

In: All News 26Oct2009 I am writing this blog post in the aptly named “Post Blog Entry” program I installed into the latest Ubuntu release. I installed this several nights ago, and think I finally have a decent grip to be able to give an honest review of the latest.Let me be first to say that if you thought Windows 7 and Snow Leopard weren’t full releases, you’ll feel the same way here. It’s a little polish here, a little update there.

In 2005, Greenplum released an enterprise-level massively parallel processing (MPP) version of PostgreSQL called Greenplum Database. Greenplum Database is the industry’s first massively parallel processing (MPP) database server based on open-source technology. It is explicitly designed to support business intelligence (BI) applications and large, multi-terabyte data warehouses. Greenplum Database is the first open source powered database server that can scale to support multi-terabyte data warehousing demands.

100% green web hosting, eco-friendly servers, solar and wind powered services – the list of environmentally friendly products is growing every day.  One of the newest hot phrases flung around lately is “organic software.”  Exactly what is organic software and how is it implemented into hosted web sites?
