Dojo 1.0.0 is out. Woo!!

CiviCRM and Drupal can become quite heavy requiring load balancing. Here I'll discuss the database load balancing. 

 

CiviCRM can be clustered with standard MySQL Clustering right now with no code changes. Although this is a costly avenue requiring at least 3 servers for the cluster, and preferably one or two more for load balancing, as well as the one the app runs on. And performance has not been tested with CiviCRM and Cluster. Cluster can be fast but requires optimizations for how it works.

As of 08-01-2007 we are hosting a survey to get feedback for non profits and consultants who use CRM and Call Center software. If that is either of you please fill it out at http://www.engram9.com/non_profit_crm_survey and let us know what you think. Also please pass it around to anyone you know who should answer it. We are looking to improve the industry.

I've just finished putting Haunted House Nation back up. It's running drupal 5.2(all of our hosted sites are now). It uses gmap, views, location, CCK, node images to create what you see there. It's an interactive map for those Haunted Houses created each Halloween around the country. Both for commercial and non commercial houses. The only thing left is the theme. The site runs pretty smoothly and quickly though.

My Favorites are...

Datepicker/Timepickers as standard widgets(instead of my own quickly hacked together ones, that work but look ugly). 

Spellcheck for us Xul devs :)
