Having Vi burned into my muscle memory since the 80's I could never use (literally) emacs for more than 30seconds without inevitably random "i"'s, some "/regx", etc embedded in my text - (that and the RMI inducing ctl-meta-esc-alt-x'ing thing ;))
I love Jekyll/Octopress - but my tool chain of choice for post writing is...
IA -> Marked -> jekyll/s3cmd with a tripwire script -> s3 -> cloudfront
I have a couple of boxes at home right now running NetBSD as dom0 w/xen3 and linux/freebsd/netbsd running as PV guests if I get a chance I will move them to some more modern HW and see what happens with NetBSD and multiple cores... Think one of them is a dual core right now but gotta check...
In any case NetBSD PV Kern on a small AWS might be a great combo for cheap BSD thrills....
I am a BSD fan - a big one in fact as I have been using BSD since the late 80's. I use AWS for some things where the pricing/instance sizes are a good match for the app needs.
I don't keep up with the latest greatest Xen infrastructure in use by Amazon but...
Wouldn't it be easier/cheaper to get NetBSD running as it has PV support for Xen3? vs using a windows HVM?
I could have sworn that way way way back when MS-SQLServer just started out it was a "fork" of Sybase Unix code??? I kinda remember that happening in like the 90's and then like usual Microsloth screwed it's partner (Then Sybase that did a lot of the work on the initial windows port)
Of course I maybe having some sort of strange drug induced flashback but kinda remember this?
