The weather in Vegas is not so hot as you would think in the dessert. Sunny and around 25 degrees Celsius during the day, but cold at night. The hotel pool is only open from 10 – 5...


Last Sunday the Belgians hired a hummer and we drove to the Grand Canyon West. Pictures are here. We had snow in Arizona !





Today my Solution Architect web track started @ CEC. We had an interesting lab on Olio. This is a framework that is of interest to anyone deploying an AMP stack application, it simulates a social event calendar and allows benchmarking of the platform. We used the Faban workgenerator platform to put a load on the system, same as described in the blueprint on lighttpd stress testing.


I am going to look at this more closely at home and setup some systemms in the lab, because I think it is again a unique service we can give customers evaluating a web platform.
