Radio UserLand : How to create a Theme

Garth Kidd is concerned about Cloud Scalability:

Dave is pleased as punch that NewsIsFree supports publish-subscribe. I'm not so sure whether publish-subscribe is the best overall solution for scalability, however.

Garth then highlights some of the alternatives that might scale better.

Radio UserLand : Upstreaming driver architecture

I’ve been using Radio to build mac.scripting.com for a few months now, and here are a few of my favorite tips. These work for me, but your mileage may vary, of course.

Warning How to remove Windows 3.x/9x/NT/2000 and install Linux in its place is humour ;-)

Microsoft recently published a set of instructions for removing Linux in order to install Windows. Here's a detailed set of instructions on doing the reverse.

MacNN: Mac cluster achieves 233 Gigaflops:

Researchers and staff at USC and UCLA have achieved a milestone for cluster computing and the Macintosh platform, achieving 233 Gigaflops on a Macintosh cluster. Using AppleSeed software, a project begun by UCLA physics researchers in 1998, researchers found no evidence for an intrinsic limit to the size of a Macintosh cluster, indicating that "Mac clusters have excellent potential scalability." The tested environment included 56 dual-processor G4/533s and 20 dual-processor G4/450s connected via a large 100BaseT switch.

Doing my bit to hike Radio UserLand up the Daypop Top 40 Links chart. It's currenlty #5 ;-).

Hearty congratulations Userland on the shipping of such a cool product. And thanks especially for pricing it so aggressively. I can recommend it to my students (and anyone else who'll listen) secure in the knowledge that it's worth far more than every penny of that and it'd probably be one of the best investments they'd ever make.

There's going to be much more coverage from me about Radio over the next couple of weeks. I have to make hay before teaching really kicks in at the end of January ;-)

If any of my students do read this and end up using Radio please let me know. We could set up a local Radio User Group - RUG!

Jim [hbwt] Roepcke's The old school reunion:

Here are the "old school" Frontier users I've noticed set up Radio sites this evening:

I'm really not worthy enough to be included in that list of illustrious Frontier old hands and, of course, Jim didn't include himself but he should definitely be in the list even though he's not quite sure what he'll use it for next ;-)

Joking apart, I really hope that the explosion of Radio (Frontier) newbies and the low pricing of Radio entices many of the "old school" back into the fold. I had the privilege of being involved in the community from Frontier v4 onwards. I found the 'Frontiersmen" to be amongst the friendlest, knowledgeable, and most helpful of developers I have had the pleasure to come across. I learnt a hell of a lot from them - and still do!

I have often wondered why the old Frontier community spirit was so great. Personally, I think one major reasoon is because the programming environment of UserTalk and the persistent object store it operated within was such a fun and productive place to learn and practise your craft. Without doubt, these people are some of the best and brightest software developers around.

Hopefully, more of the old guard will tune into Radio too - even if they don't use it for its weblogging capabilities it's a great Mac/Win scripting environment. And now that it's a native Mac OS X app some - myself included, are no doubt looking forward to re-awakening their old Frontier skills.

I look forward to re-establishing contact with them. In fact, that's probably one of the main reasons I'm so excited by this whole new era of Radio/Frontier!
