nathanpc··on Why I’m Moving Away From WordPress
I had WP Super Cache installed. Also the server isn't the only thing that made me get off from WordPress. I wanted something more social and Tumblr fits that need with the Like and Reblog buttons.

Another awesome work by Javve. Congratulations!
nathanpc··on Windows 8 is Already Fragmented
The post content for those that can't read because of my server problems:

As many of you already played with Windows 8 beta, and if you didn’t at least you know it well from tech sites, it’s already a fragmented OS and in my opinion it’s more fragmented than Android. Maybe a lot of things will change when the final version comes out, but I don’t think this will happen.

I’m talking about the two OSes that come on the Windows 8 pack. One has a Metro UI with all the new and cool stuff borrowed from Windows Phone and built for a tablet, since it’s very bad to use that interface with a mouse. The second is the good, but old, Aero interface which we all know is perfect for a mouse. If you want to have a complete new interface you should use it across all the apps. On Windows 7 I could run any app built specifically for XP and it would have the same Aero look as any other Windows 7 app.

Now imagine at the user side, someone that is just ok about computers and think that OS = Windows. This person will need to relearn almost everything about Windows all over again and deal with apps that must run on Metro and others that only run on Aero. Having to switch between them over and over will make the user feel uncomfortable about the OS because it doesn’t have the consistency to stay in a single type of interface.

And what about Windows on ARM? Of course apps compiled for x86 won’t run on ARM-based Windows machines, and vice-versa. This will add another layer of fragmentation on Windows, maybe more work for the developer too if it the ARM version of the SDK has limitations.

Microsoft is fragmenting Windows before it even gets released.

I had, but it can't for some reason. And I checked the processes, it's only running mysqld and apache2, nothing more. :/

Sorry for having to reboot the server every 5 minutes. Wordpress and apache2 wasn't a good choice... :(

I'm planing to move away from Wordpress and apache, but I don't have any skills on this area :'(

That's exactly what I think. Users aren't prepared for such a drastic change and also such a inconsistency on the UI (Metro mode and Aero mode).
nathanpc··on Poll: What mobile HTML5 framework do you use?
I use Phonegap and build all my interfaces from scratch every new project. Tried to use Sencha Touch, jQuery Mobile and jQTouch, but I prefer to have full control over my code and build all by myself.

nathanpc··on Ask HN: Which communities like HN do you follow?
Hacker News is so great that I don't know other similar communities.

Awesome work, congratulations! I'll definitely going to test this out. :)

After I try it for a week I'll make a fork on GitHub and try to help improve it.

nathanpc··on The Raspberry Pi Will Bring Fun To Computers Again
Yeah, it went down again so I'm doing some RAM upgrade which might take 5 to 8 minutes. Sorry.
nathanpc··on The Raspberry Pi Will Bring Fun To Computers Again
Sorry for the down time. My server is back up, I did a reboot because Apache was out of memory. Thanks very much for your patience :)
