Dave Winer's weblog, started in April 1997, bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

Heading west Permalink.

I'm zooooming my way to Salt Lake to see new movies the Sundance festival.

NakedJen says there's going to be a blogger's reception this afternoon in Park City. I'll try to be there for that.

If you're in Sundance I'll be the geek in the baseball cap grinning from ear to ear. :-)

EC2 for European Poets? Permalink.

A picture named sneakers.jpgI've gotten a request to produce a version of EC2 for Poets for people in Europe. Of course I will do it, but it never occurred to me that an AMI that runs in the US won't run in Europe.

Skimming the docs that are available, it seems this is a security thing. If your servers in the US go down, they won't necessarily take down your servers in Europe? Not sure.

Anyway, if anyone has any tips on how to create a European fork of a Windows-based AMI, please post a pointer as a comment. Thanks!
