Double Shot #710

Back out with the Boy Scouts this weekend. See you Monday.

• Why I Go Home: A Developer Dad's Manifesto - Amen.
• Joyent Announces the New Joyent Cloud - Joyent is in the platform as a service biz, with an announcement of more integrated tools.
• OpenShift - Looks like Red Hat is getting into the cloud platform biz too.
• What's My DNS? - Free service that does DNS lookups from a selection of servers worldwide. Good for seeing whether DNS changes have propagated.
• DNS Traversal Checker - Thorough tool that will show what's going on with a DNS entry all the way from the root servers on down.
• Capistrano rsync_with_remote_cache deployment strategy - I've got a project that might end up needing this.
• Facebook and Heroku - Quick and easy way to build Facebook apps in the cloud. My personal ambition remains to stay off Facebook forever, though.
