This is sad news. He was a lover of nature and a true artist. Really such an interesting man. I had setup two aquariums using his products and styling advice, they looked gorgeous in my house. They were freshwater aquariums but were vivid in many ways. Visitors to my home would comment to me that I had a "really nice saltwater tank." His techniques and products made freshwater aquariums special. He also made me notice the subtle beauties in nature a lot more.

What about the copyright of the webpage whose code was altered with these injected ads? It's ironic that a company whose product disrespects the copyright of others would be so sensitive to the issue.

I was eager to grow into being more than a web designer so I began watching Tuts+ courses on Ruby and PHP. Then, my employer needed a small web app to share documents with clients. I volunteered and the rest is history. Looking back I guess I just decided it was something I wanted to do and I dove head first. Everything I know is self taught and I try to learn something new everyday. It has been very rewarding for me. My boss has trusted me with more projects and I'm more involved in the success of our company.

I've had my share of downtime on DO's NYC2 datacenter but I've also had downtime on Linode. Overall Linode has been more reliable for me than DO. Moving to DO won't result in eliminating outages forever. With Linode's most recent round of server upgrades the machines they offer are superior in performance when compared to DO. Unless you absolutely must have your server in the New York area I'd just move to a different Linode datacenter.

No, you can't host Basecamp on your own server. If that's a strict requirement for your team then that's a deal breaker. But if it isn't an absolute requirement Basecamp would save you a ton of time by not having to setup something from scratch. Also, Basecamp has very nice official mobile apps which have always come in handy for me.
