a weblog on interesting code, photos and ideas
If you do it right, AWS can be an excellent low-cost option to host a service. This guy figured out how to rock a nice, quick web service using AWS. The breakdown is costs is surprising. Cheggitout:
…the total AWS charges for the month of November add up to $11.12. This is the total bill for processing the 2.1 million API requests and all of the infrastructure necessary to support them.
The above costs power the service TimerCheck.io.
Awesome stuff from Tony Cliff.

H&&T is a show and tell style meetup for hackers!
Events are structured such that 8—10 hackers give 5 minute long presentations on something they built, and then respond to Q&A for 5 more minutes.
Presentations of almost any kind of hack are encouraged, but we do not allow 1) startup pitches or 2) work projects.
We want to promote the projects that people do in their spare time, for fun, or utility, and not the kinds of projects that are only applicable to people who work in your company, or your direct clients. On the other hand, there may be a project that you’ve built primarily at work, that solves a *general* problem that your company has allowed you to release with a libre license — this is usually fine. via Hack&&Tell.
