An interesting overview of the Amazon technology platform

Posted on ACM Queue is an excellent interview by Jim Gray with Werner Vogels - Amazon's CTO.

In it, he gives a great high-level overview of the complexities of developing at such a large scale and how Amazon addresses these challenges.

A great read and very informative on the issues of large-scale application and SOA development.

Going mobile...

It's May now, so posting an update to my blog is well overdue.

What's interesting is that I'm using Kevin Daly's Diarist software (http://www.kevdaly.co.nz) to post directly from my Windows Mobile 5 phone!

No excuse now, really, is there?
