    Looks like the site is down.

  2. Too much traffic! 😉

  3. Jonathan Buford says:

    I wonder if it is running ruby? 

  4. I believe it is actually. Is Ruby unstable for websites? I’d love to know since I am building something in RoR’s now 😉

  5. Jonathan Buford says:

    Oh, I'm just helping to perpetuate a myth that is outdated. It was originally quite poor for performance, but is reasonable now. Let's see what Rex says. 

  6. Jonathan Buford says:

    Wooohooo, it’s back up.

  7. Thomas Pun says:

    Great post on the startup scene in HK! Hat tip to @rexchung for the write up!

  8. Jonathan Buford says:

    Yep, that is a good HK startup scene summary. Thanks @rexchung for putting it together.

  9. the site is actually on wordpress 2.3, it was down due to DNS service going down with the registrar, first time that happened or I noticed in a few years. Ruby 1.9 is pretty speedy, though I haven’t used it in production yet. Ankoder and Rorcraft blogs are both on a ruby site :)

  10. Thanks Rex! WordPress is on version 2.9 since this week so have a look at upgrading ;-)Will check out your Ruby blogs to see how they look :-)http://www.ankoder.com/blog/http://www.rorcraft.com/blog/
