Linux Versus BSD for Web Applications


Linux Versus BSD for Web Applications 10/02/2002 03:47 AM
Linux Versus BSD for Web Applications Jeremy has a great analysis of Linux and FreeBSD based on his experiences at Yahoo (he's a lead developer for Yahoo Finance, author of a forthcoming book on MySQL and the deployer of what I suspect is the largest to date MySQL 4 application, Yahoo Finance). I think I actually blogged this when it first came out but it's good enough to be blogged again. PS -- Thanks to Keith Devens for this link; it took a bit to find where I found it.

Six Apart grows again


Six Apart grows again 07/14/2004 03:25 PM

Six Apart just acquired Loic's blog company, Ublog. Loic had been acting as our marketing partner in Europe, but now he's apart of Six Apart. (Mena has a good story about this.)

Andrew Anker who I met when he was running Hot Wired back in the day has also just joined Six Apart. (More about that on at Mena's Corner)

Last but not least, Barak Berkowitz who was once my boss at Infoseek, then later worked for me at Neoteny, is now taking over the role of CEO of Six Apart. (Mena's story about this)

Welcome aboard everyone. I think we're turning a new page in the development of Six Apart. I urge you to read Mena's posts for her view on all of this. I'm a proud VC today.

PEAR grows up: MDB


PEAR grows up: MDB 01/12/2003 01:36 PM
We met with the author of Metabase at the International PHP Conference 2001 and we talked about the benefits of having something like Metabase as part of the PEAR project. Shortly afterwards a discussion began once more in the PEAR mailing list about the potential benefits of a merge of PEAR DB and Metabase. After much discussion at my company we decided to take up this task. After several months of hard work we now have the first stable release of MDB. - Lukas Smith Lukas Smith has done a fine job with MDB and finally PEAR has a decent db abstraction library. Congrats!
