Why is Your Designer Your Sysadmin Anyway? WordPress and Scaling

I got an email about WordPress today.  The summary: Wordpress, at least the public version, does not scale well.  So, here I go…

I’m not sure it’s the ‘public’ version that doesn’t scale well.  Some gripes with wordpress are really a LAMP stack gripe: Few complain about the L (Linux) and M (MySQL) parts of LAMP.  But Apache can be a hog, and PHP has the same issues as any other interpreted language.  Plus, no native db connection pooling (a downside of Apache MPM).

In benchmarks, WP out-of-the-box on an untuned server can serve an  over 600,000 requests a day.  I’d say that’s not bad for something that takes all of an hour to install.

If you want to scale beyond that, I don’t know of anything that can do so without effort.  If you want over a million requests a day, you gotta pay someone who knows what they’re doing. (more on that later). секс сайты г нальчика

Here are some thoughts from the last one we did, back cold, cold February.

Whoa, slow your roll Government 2.0, Twitter can#039;t do it all

June 9th, 2009 by Ernesto Gluecksmann

x men origins movie

deep purple-purpendicular download There’s a bit of a tech craziness is going around Washington DC lately with lots of twitter chatter about Government 2.0.  It’s no secret that this new administration is looking for answers in these challenging times but I have some concern that signal-to-noise ratio is going to cause some trouble.

In the last two years, Washington DC has taken center stage regarding technology adoption across institutions at both local and national levels.   Seems barely a few years ago that tech hackers never really saw much value in hanging out with PR and marketing people.  We had to be forced to go network like it was a chore and play nice with everyone we met.  Now-a-days, it seems like we’re all tripping over each other to exchange business cards, write on each others blogs and trying to score tickets the latest tech conferences.  Why is that?

Lots of reasons.  GenXers are now in positions of influence and arguably more willing to adopt new technologies.  We have a new and more open administration in the White House that is mandating more transparency.  And we have a bad economy that once again is attracting big business to Washington DC area.

..oh and one more… we also have… Twitter. Read the rest of this entry »

Salmonella Widget

May 31st, 2009 by Mickey Panayiotakis

 

Word Association Time, kids:

Georgia? Peanuts.  Peanuts? Salmonella.  Salmonella?  Widget!

Widget?!“, you say? 

Yes. Widget, I say. And I admit when I first saw it, I also thought that was an old pairing of words.  I mean, it’s Widget!  It hangs out with the hip crowd: social media, facebook, macs. iPhones, for crying out loud!  iPhones have widgets. “Widget” certainly does Not hang out with them FDA types.  But, like all us mere mortals have to pay taxes, so are mere technologies appropriated by all facets of government, and to the left you see a barely breathing example of the FDA Salmonella Widget.

Where do I get mine, you ask?  Well, mosey on over to the FDA.  Bring three forms of ID, a birth certificate, three passport-style photos…
