I started the day today working on some stuff for @linkminded. Through working on this I decided I needed some github integration, so I decided I’d look at a project created by Rigo. The project mentioned in my earlier blog posts. By working on this little side project to get my website up I have found out a few things: Don’t use hostmonster, they are slow, and I couldn’t setup a naked dns entry to save my life.

I have found that 2 micro instances do not compare in processing power to a single small on AWS. Although, I did get what I paid for with the micros. Happy to have my site up and running a bit faster.

Just got my site up for real thanks to some help from Ryan Niemeyer @rniemeyer and Rodrigo Neri @rigoneri. I used 2 projects to help get it up and going one from Ryan to help me figure out how to deploy out in AWS land: https://github.com/ryanniemeyer/uriz The other project from rigo which is the actual site with small modifications to actually be about me: https://github.com/rigoneri/syte I’ve been wanting to play around with AWS on my own and also get my website to no longer be ‘under construction”.
