To be doomed to know the future and not to be believed

Just came across this. Digg are using Facebook's (now Apache's) "Cassandra" Distributed Datastore. Interesting.

About Me

Hi, My name is Chris and I have been working as a web developer for about 10 years, primarily working on the Microsoft plaform.

I have an interest in web standards as a member of the HTML Working Group at the W3C and have an active interest in large distributed systems and "Cloud Computing". I took part in the private beta of Amazon's SimpleDB service and I am currently experimenting with (the interesting parts of) Microsofts Azure platform preview.

I'm also re-discovering javascript/css via the brilliant jQuery and Sizzle selector engine.
