SEAHUG: Scale your OpenStack Hadoop cluster from the bar

Looking to spend more time drowning your infrastructure operations sorrow at the bar? Better start moving your @ cluster to @. Or at least that is what 100 NoSQL developers learned at tonights Seattle Monthly Hadoop / Scalability / NoSQL Meetup (#SEAHUG).

MapReduce has never been easier then with Karmaphere Studio available for NetBeans and Eclipse. They provide a free community edition and a prefesional version if you need something a little more hardcore. @ gave a rundown on using the toolset to rapidly design and deploy Hadoop jobs for your uber data crunching needs.

Once you get your Hadoop cluster running (you set it up on OpenStack right?) be sure to look for @'s upcoming iPhone application being built by @. It will support any @ cloud for checking resource consumption, server health or spinning up new instances. The app will even pull in the uptime notifications RSS feed for your favorite hosting company.

Rackspace and openstack

OpenStack is hardware agnostic, and while I wouldn't start dusting off the 50 Commodore 64s sitting in your moms basement just yet, it is open source so feel free to contribute a patch for everybody's favorite 6510 microprocessor.

If you like NoSQL and big data be sure to checkout upcoming meetups from SEAHUG the largest developer User Group in Seattle.

#seahug has over 500 members making it perhaps the largest tech group in Seattle27 Oct via Twitter for Android

Installing Storytlr the lifestreaming platform

" Storytlr  is an open source lifestreaming and micro blogging platform. You can use it for a single user or it can act as a host for many people all from the same installation." I've been looking for something like Storytlr for a few months now or at least trying to do it with Drupal . While I love Drupal and FeedAPI  I did not want to spend all that time building a lifestream website. So I've been playing around with Storytlr instead and found it very easy. Here is how I got it up and running on a Ubuntu EC2 server. You can also check out the official Storytlr install instructions . Assumptions: LAMP stack installed and running. Domain setup for a directory. MySQL database and user ready to go. Lets get started!

Sync is currently experiencing problems

Update : I now recommend you install Google Chrome  and  disable  the built in Browser as it supports encrypting all synced data. After picking up a gorgeous  Galaxy Nexus yesterday I was running into an issue where my browser data wasn't syncing to the phone. After a little Googling I found this is commonly caused by having all of my synced Chrome data encrypted instead of the default of only encrypting the passwords. These are the steps I went through to get my dat syncing again without losing any of it. The exact error I was getting was "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." In Google Chrome open the personal stuff settings page by clicking this link or by opening the wrench menu, and click on "signed in with example@gmail.com".  Hit "disconnect your Google Account" to temporarily disable syncing from your browser. Visit the Google Dashboard and "Stop sync and delete data from Google". I waite...
