Well, I still have had a hard time finding/making the time to deliver you guys something useful on ThoughtSpark.org. To help light a fire under myself, I've decided to create a new look for the site in hopes of wanting to get more people visiting. Feel free to give me your feedback. Now, onto the updates.

Work (Nodeable)

At Nodeable we're doing some awesome things. We're right on the cusp of starting a private beta to let people see the progress we've made the last six months. Let's just say that the people who've seen what we're doing and where we're going are pretty impressed and excited, as are we of course. When we officially start private beta, start public beta or do anything else of interest, I'll make sure to update you guys. Long story short, we're heads down and this is part of the reason my blog content as suffered.

Open Source Software

While working at Nodeable, I've been able to contribute to two awesome open source projects:

• Jclouds: A Java-based abstraction layer on top of many cloud providers
• Python-based library for getting access to deep level CPU, process, disk, network, memory, etc. information like you get from top, ps and many other tools

Both of these projects are being used at Nodeable and both projects have great teams behind them. I hope to have real blog entries soon about how to use these two projects in interesting ways.

Since nothing of interest has really changed/happened in my personal life, I'll stop here...get back to work and hope to write you guys some interesting reads soon.
