themcgruff··on Nginx 0mq transport layer for communicating with upstream servers
This is just an initial spike. The conversation started here: https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module/issues/35.
themcgruff··on 37signals publishing uptime data
The timing is not tied to our move off of Rackspace and on to our own hardware, or our move to multiple providers. Noah and JD finally had time to work on making this data public and so we did. The fact that it happened at the end of the year is coincidence.

Re multiple sites, we're working on it.

Thanks for the feed back. This data is based on external checks every 10 seconds.

(We also have thousands of internal health checks and alerts for other metrics.)

The key here is this reflects the view of the customer. (In other words if we down a system internally but there is no customer facing outage, yay redundancy and failover, then it would not show up here as long as the site was continuing to function with full health.)

This is something we may make available in the future, but we believe this presentation is easier to digest for the majority of our customers. Right now Pingdom data is going straight into our internal metrics dashboard which produces the public pages, so minus our internal annotations, it's exactly what you'd see in Pingdom. In the past we used a different site monitoring product, and we had to import all the data before closing our account there. (So we can't make that available directly anymore.)

themcgruff··on Setting Up A New Machine for Ruby Development - as used at 37signals these days
We are still (happily) using Chef. We'll update the public repo shortly. We just need to remove from of the more "private" bits before publishing.
themcgruff··on On pasta and music and copyright
If you want to make an easy and tasty sauce: Buy one can of San Marzano tomatoes (must be San Marzano!), one onion (yellow works well), some fresh garlic, fresh basil and some olive oil. Chop and then saute onion in pan with some olive oil. While onion is cooking, tear off a few leaves of basil and chop. Once onion is about done add some garlic to the pan (pressed is great) and let it cook for a minute. Add onion, garlic, basil and tomatoes to blender (or food processor). Blend to consistency you like. Bring to boil on stove, then turn down to simmer. Add salt, and pepper to taste. (Red pepper if you like it spicy.) Once you have drained your pasta (see above) you can toss the pasta in the sauce. Depending on how much sauce you like, you can optionally store some in the refrigerator for later use.
