God is an easy to configure, easy to extend monitoring framework written in Ruby.

Keeping your server processes and tasks running should be a simple part of your deployment process. God aims to be the simplest, most powerful monitoring application available.

Scalr is a fully redundant, self-curing and self-scaling hosting environment utilizing Amazon's EC2.

It allows you to create server farms through a web-based interface using prebuilt AMI's for load balancers (pound or nginx), app servers (apache, others), databases (mysql master-slave, others), and a generic AMI to build on top of.

The health of the farm is continuously monitored and maintained. When the Load Average on a type of node goes above a configurable threshold a new node is inserted into the farm to spread the load and the cluster is reconfigured. When a node crashes a new machine of that type is inserted into the farm to replace it.

The Peppermill is a fun little netlabel based in the mountains of British Columbia, attempting to make interesting musical art.

We specialize in collaborative projects, with artists taking part from every corner of the planet. All the albums we make are free downloads once they're finished.

Because Peppermill is totally non-profit, we don't have money to spend on promos and so we highly encourage you to spread the word! If you like one of our releases, let your friends know, and write about us in your blog. Shout our names from the highest peak. Tattoo "peppermill" across your bicep. Anything to help us grow! That way we can convince more talented people to take part in our projects, and we all win.

It has long been common practice to use recurring solutions to solve common problems. Such solutions are also called design patterns. Collections of software design patterns are standard reference points for the experienced user interface designer. This website seeks to better the situation for the UI designer, who struggles with the same problems as many other UI designers have struggled with before him.

UI-Patterns.com are not the first to create a UI design library. While other pattern collections are useful, they are far from coherent and complete. The purpose of this site is over time to fill some of the gaps - especially by providing code examples as to how how the different patterns can be implemented: to join theory with practice.
