Attensa

Found a superb aggregator called Attensa. It's an MS Outlook attachement, and retrieves all my RSS feeds. Finally i dont need to go to blog lines any more.
They referred to another site called Del.icio.us. This site is a primitive manner of storing you bookmarks online, tagging etc. Sounded interesting, need to play around lots more.

As for Attensa. Serious suggestion... download it, if you have Outlook installed.

I've been using del.icio.us for quite some time (my links), and I find it immensely useful. For example, you can use one of the del.icio.us javascript favelets to to create bookmarks as you surf the web, and then use the personal RSS feeds from del.icio.us to create a list of recently updated links on your website, all without doing any manual updates to your site!

Del.icio.us only looks primitive (and that's probably because it is in pre-alpha stage), but looks are obviously deceptive. It is immensely powerful. Besides, why should I store my bookmarks in my browser when I can save them on the web and access it anywhere, while keeping it better organized and easier to search through?

I'd normally have been happy to use Attensa, but it runs on Outlook, and Outlook has those two dreaded letters before it's name.

He he. The two dreaded letters before the "Outlook" is the company which brought out the OS you are currently using, I guess.

As for looks, that of course is secondary. But Del.icio.us will and is being targetted to persons who utilze the internet for fun more than the geeks. So i guess they'll soon be looking into it. And just guessing, maybe Google will buy it after that :D, considering that it will help a search engine understand a persons' interests and inter-relating them...u know what i mean or maybe start.com will buy it.

Was browsing the net, and found some old link to BOFH. Not sure as to how many used to read PCQuest some time back when it used to come, but i remember reading them, with of course re-reads and re-re,etc...i can go on you know. Anyway, it's about a system operator who is bugged by no-brainers asking silly computer related queries, and this guy repling with wierd answers. I had never known the origin of this character, until i saw this . Anyway for those who have never read BOFH, here are two of them.

So you have your website deployed in PROD ... now what ??

Posting on behalf of Usr.Web.Speed - My previous job had been to architect and develop websites for various customers. During that time my team and I have architected and developed various web applications mainly for enterprises. (But below info is not restricted to enterprises) Other than the usual development and testing tasks involved, our focus area was to abide by multiple SLAs. One of the primary SLAs was to provide the users of our websites a very low (usually subsecond) response time (or page load time). To adhere to this SLA, we did multiple activities, in code, process as well as infrastructure. These include (but not limit to) - Using best practices including (http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html) Determining the optimum number of calls to the databases, open connections, etc. Providing the fastest mechanisms to download associated content (such as stylesheets, JS files, etc. over CDN) And debugging the reason for the slowness of the websites, when ...
