Greg Sidberry’s Summary
Hi my name is Sid and I'm the Brand / Technical Director at halfGray, the little startup that's doing.
I focus primarily on scaling / high availability, using small clusters to scale Wordpress, Php, Mysql, and ROR. When not server-side I'm developing / designing UI's with CSS and jQuery, social marketing, studying natural patterns or design, and occasionally having a life.
I'm a fan of the Kohana Php framework (formerly based on CodeIgniter) and the vps cloud at vps.net.
Greg Sidberry’s Specialties:
Making things go fast
Small clusters that like to failover
Using CSS to make pretty
jQuery goodness
changing FFmpeg's Sox
Streaming other stuff
Blogging with a purpose
