LegRoom.net Kick back and relax

LegRoom.net's main server will be moving this week (along with me) to it's new home in Memphis (Midtown). All website and mail services will go down Monday morning, March 29, and will not reliably resume until Thursday April 1 (just in time for April Fool's, great...).

Also, on a not-so-related note, I don't believe that I ever formally announced LegRoom.net's server migration a few months ago. This site is now being hosted on a bad-ass dual-Athlon system, with 1 GB of RAM. Yeah, baby! Anyone so inclined may check out the stats here.

Here's a brief article on the importance of Open Standards, which, as the author rightly argues, is oribably the single most important consideration in technology today. Regardless of how superior some may feel open source software may be to proprietary software (and all readers of this site know that I feel that way myself), interoperability across all applications and platforms is the true holy grail of any project. Otherwise, you're simply limiting yourself, your application, and your customers.

Do read this article. Very important stuff.
