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.
