A book I’m reading: Nginx HTTP Server

So I’m all up in Nginx at the moment. It’s smooth as silk on pages and a low overhead. I wish it came in a  package friendly version like MAMP on a mac but heyyyy, the setup isn’t that difficult anyway.

However I have not delved into scalability and one of my customers will need it shortly so luckily I have the chance to review this little gem Nginx HTTP Server. Oddly enough the author is in China as well… as far as I’ve worked out.

It’s a good read so far, I’m trying to fit it in between website launches, designs british council, red travel and finding a new apartment. Needless to say I’m burning the candle at both ends….

Stay tuned…

Feeding time

“When black holes devour matter, they release massive amounts of energy. Physicists had thought this energy mostly took the form of radiation, primarily X-rays. However, as this newly discovered black hole so dramatically illustrates, at least as much energy, if not a great deal more, is released as jets of fast moving particles. These streams of particles smash headlong into the interstellar gas nearby, which heats up the gas and causing rapid expansion. The resulting bubble is a mix of the hot gas and the particles from the black hole.”
