Blogs: Stackato Log Aggregation, Komodo Chess Grandmaster

Logyard: Log Aggregation in Stackato - by Troy Topnik

In the pre-cloud days it was OK for logs to simply be file resources. If you have a single system to worry about, you can find and manage your log files the old-fashioned way.

As we start to move to cloud systems, a number of problems present themselves. Stackato 2.4 resolves these by aggregating logs by a new process called Logyard.

Komodo: Chess Grandmaster - by Todd Whiteman

The macro system in Komodo Edit/IDE allows for some creative possibilities. I've written a macro that provides the ability to replay chess games, utilizing the editor to display the board, game pieces and sequences of moves.

Dear Webmaster Tools user,

We know that having a healthy and well-performing website is important to you. To keep you informed about your site's status Webmaster Tools will now automatically send you a notification email if there are critical or important issues that we detect with your site.

For most sites these kinds of issues will occur rarely. If your site does happen to have an issue we cap the number of emails we send over a certain period of time to avoid flooding your inbox.
