§ Yes, you can send server-side events to Google Analytics .
§ The real issue is not skeuomorphism: Tail wagging :
The reality is that skeuomorphism enshrines and validates a failure of vision, and even worse, a failure to capitalise on the medium. That's a betrayal of a designer's implicit duty of trust to make something that is the best, and to treat all other goals as secondary. I think that's a responsibility that Ive feels very strongly. I doubt that anyone has ever had to remind him of it.

I'm going to post about them soon, but first I thought it would be cool to give some background about what a memory allocator actually does.

The folks at Google have just published a major update to " knife-google " plugin for Google Compute Engine. Included in this update is a removal of the "gcutil" tookit as an external dependency, meaning that knife-google users can talk directly to the Compute Engine API to spin up new GCE instances and manage them with Chef.
If you happen to be attending Google IO this week, be sure to look out for demos and discussion on this exciting update to Chef…
