Well I played with Google App Engine for a week or so and realised that I've invested so much time and effort into PHP that I can't just walk away from it and start working Python. Subsequently I'm now developing some of my personal projects in Code Igniter and continuing down the PHP path. I'm also continuing to develop my hosting environment to squeeze as much performance as possible out of my personal applications.

My new setup for my hosting involves several VPS's. Some of the software I'm running includes:

Nginx
PHP
PHP-fpm
MySQL
Memcached
Gearman

Hadoop is something that I'm going to start looking at soon in my quest to learn about hugely scalable infrastructure.

This is Joomla running on a Linode setup. Somethings to know about this setup - I'm hosting it on a Linode VPS. The Web Server and Database Server are separate VPS's and I'm running Nginx as the web server. I built this setup orignally to test how fast I could get a Magento site to run. Turns out I can get Magento running pretty quick (http://74.207.253.254/ for those that want a peek) on this configuration.

I've since discovered Google App Engine. How can you beat Free....seriously?

So I'm now in the midst of building a site on Google App Engine which means no more Joomla. Also means I can close down all my various hosting accounts.
