Benchmark: mod_rails vs. Mongrel


Picture:Clock Published on April 23rd, 2008 in General

A guy nicknamed “s2″ benchmarked mod_rails against Mongrel. It’s not really scientific, but shows that at least for small sites, mod_rails definitely is a good and easier to setup alternative.

Picture:Clock Published on August 5th, 2007 in CSS, Web

I just found a nice CSS framework here. I have not thoroughly tested it out, yet, but this should be extremely useful, since every developer starts to use some kind of CSS sheet with default stuff in it, so they don’t have to reinvent the wheel each time. The Blueprint framework is a much more [...]
