Celebrity Engineers–Software’s Equivalent of Arts Patronage

Celebrity Engineers–Software’s Equivalent of Arts Patronage

By Ben Kepes on February 15, 2013

Back in the days gone by, if you were part of the landed gentry, lording over your landholdings and the common folk who lived on said land, you’d look to becoming a patron of the arts as a way to ensure your name would live on after your death. While perhaps not a particularly sound […]

Of little clouds and big clouds, local clouds and global clouds

Of little clouds and big clouds, local clouds and global clouds

And, in all likelihood, Australia will soon be added to the list. For those primarily interested in just serving […]

OpenLogic Announces General Availability of CloudSwing PaaS

By Ben Kepes on October 27, 2011

The other day Krish bemoaned the fact that PaaS is rapidly becoming homogenized as all players rapidly follow their competitors in rolling out features and languages.
