Playing in the Clouds

From about mid 2009 I have been running dedicated servers, self managed.

Since then I have been following the growing trend of cloud hosting solutions.

So I have been looking into different Cloud Solutions and I am on yet another adventure.

I am going to be playing in the Clouds over at Rack Space to see what kind of bang I can get for my buck :)

The slick part about Rack Space is having CDN right there. So not only can I build server instances, I can offload the static files. ++

So off we go to build some server instances….

Stay tuned for some tips and tricks on this adventure!

The first one, and the biggest adventure that never ends is Linux (Ubuntu).

I started playing with it quite a while ago, and now it is my preferred desktop environment.

Since I work on Linux servers constantly all day long, using a Linux distro as a desktop really helps the process.

For instance, no FTP client is needed. I simply setup an sftp: shortcut command and away we go.

Easily setup development environments that are almost identical to a typical server.

Facebook Auto Posting from WordPress

So you have a WordPress blog self hosted and you want to post to Facebook every time you post on your blog.
I am going to show you how to do this.
It is very easy and requires no plug-ins or additions to your site, so it is not going to cause any extra page load on your site.

The first thing you need is a Facebook account.
The second thing you need is a Fan Page.
I assume you have both of these.

Log into FaceBook and go to http://www.facebook.com/networkedblogs and click on the Go to App button next to the title NetworkedBlogs.
