Until you process petabytes of data and suddenly you it makes a difference of a couple of hours per run. All the coll dynamic web technology is really nice and empowering, but once you start hitting real traffic, it makes sense to invest into more efficient core systems. See G-WAN for how to do it right.

Too bad it's not open-source: http://gwan.com/download

Linux binaries? That is so 2001.

His server returns 404 for errors:

That's going to make wirting for this thing really confusing.

That reminds me of users who report every "I couldn't get to my Flash game" error as 404. "Yeah, that's what you geeks call it, 404, when [it shows a white screen | it says 'The page cannot be displayed' | the browser is minimized | the power is out]!" Fortunately, those idiot users don't write server software, but this one apparently does.

It never crashes or has a bug.

If it seems to have a bug, then it must be that big companies Poisoned DNS servers!

Why isn't it Open-Source?
TrustLeap's technology could be mis-used, diluting or even compromizing it: open-source is now an on-ramp to very profitable closed data services. And if you are not rich enough to prevent others from stealing from you in the first place, then the 'rule of law' just helps the guilty to ruin you.

And after reading items on this timeline. I begin to question the author's sanity...

Not just against Microsoft, this guy just seems to be full of piss and vinegar in general. Every entry in his blog is a rant against something, whether it's Microsoft, the world economy, the Western Hemisphere, or those stealthy, mysterious corporate hacker ninjas who spend every waking hour trying to take down his ironclad website due to the obvious danger he poses to The Man.

Even the software's FAQ takes cheap shots at the objects of his vast paranoia. Stay far, far away from anyone with that big a chip on their shoulder.
