Balloonacy
After an intense last 10 days’ sprint spent finishing and polishing, we launched Balloonacy on Tuesday 24th with a grand total of over 30,000 balloons and 840 sites signed up and accepted into the race. Seems to be going really well; people are playing and writing nice things about it, the system’s holding up (captain), the client’s happy and, in short, we’ve made animal-shaped balloons float across Internet. Which is nice.

Discussion of LinkedIn's back-end architecture. Particularly interesting bit about in-memory data graph; also, apparently no ORM. Eh.

Holding the line
Whole chunk of pavement was cordoned off outside the City police station in Bishopsgate, a couple of vans stood just out of shot (damn) and these chaps making sure no-one strayed from the path.

LRB · James Davidson: Plato Made It Up

Review of “The Atlantis Story: A Short History of Plato’s Myth” by Pierre Vidal-Naquet. Interesting placement of Plato’s ostensibly Solon-derived réportage into both Plato’s context and Vidal-Naquet’s.
