I am not sure how that would look if each action had its own storage instead of the one big shared stack. Could be very cool or could induce an aneurysm.<br>

I started thinking last week about how to do object-oriented programming in Forth and was looking at the gforth manual this morning. I might load it and try it.<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Grant" <grant@amadensor.com><br>To: "CLUE's mailing list" <clue@cluedenver.org><br>Sent: Monday, June 6, 2011 2:02:41 PM<br>Subject: Re: [clue] A Tech posting!

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; font-family: sans-serif;">Hi all..in the interest of bringing interest to the list (Tech at least) <br>I'll propose the following topics to comment on:<br><br>1. Puppet - "Infrastructure as Code" sometimes known as the DevOps <br>movement. Not your typical Puppet tutorial: <br><a href="http://semicomplete.com/presentations/puppet-at-loggly/puppet-at-loggly.pdf.html" target="_blank">http://semicomplete.com/presentations/puppet-at-loggly/puppet-at-loggly.pdf.html</a><br><br>2. Riak - Riak is a Dynamo-inspired database that is being used in <br>production by companies like Mozilla and Comcast. Riak scales <br>predictably and easily and simplifies development by giving users the <br>ability to quickly prototype, test, and deploy their <br>applications.<a href="http://wiki.basho.com" target="_blank">http://wiki.basho.com</a>/<br> One of the unique features of Riak is the ability to write to ANY <br>node in the system and
have
it
available (eventually) to any other node <br>in the system.<br><br>3. Erlang - A functional concurrent programming for massively scalable <br>architecture. This is what Riak is written in (along with ejabberd). <br>Riak also supports hot code swapping for upgrades so that the service <br>never goes down!<br><br>4. Distributed File Systems like Tahoe-LAFS how could you use this to <br>backup your data to your friend's house while allowing you to share some <br>files and keep others encrypted?<br><br>5. Dream Plug (and plug devices in general) What can you do with 'em? <br>What HAVE you done with 'em?<br><br><br>I'm just trying to drum up some tech on the mailing list so we can get <br>some interest again...Hopefully one of these topics interests somebody!!!<br><hr><br>clue mailing list: clue@cluedenver.org<br>For information, account preferences, or to unsubscribe see:<br><a href="http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue" target="_blank">http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue</a><br><br></pre></blockquote></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>clue mailing list: clue@cluedenver.org<br>For information, account preferences, or to unsubscribe see:<br>http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue</div></blockquote></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>clue mailing list: clue@cluedenver.org<br>For information, account preferences, or to unsubscribe see:<br>http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue</div></blockquote></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>clue mailing list: clue@cluedenver.org<br>For information, account preferences, or to unsubscribe see:<br>http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue</div></body></html>
