Amazon has created a great suite of services that enable the ability to do true cloud computing with a limited IT resource pool and budget, they are called Amazon Web Services (AWS). The services range from providing remote storage to configuration a customized and security private computing infrastructure, and all of these services are coupled with a easy to manage web based interface. This type of service is a real boon to any small company trying to handle a rapidly growing user base with limited human resources and funds.

It's official my Blog has moved to Drupal 7. So, bear with me for a while why I port content from the old site, but that is also good news because that means that new features are coming down the pike so stay tuned for new improvements and new articles

PHP does not natively provide a way to create a true multi-threaded application. Yet, with the right combination of technologies it is possible to emulate multiple threads. If PHP is running inside of a web server, and has either read/write access to the file system or your application has access to a database then it is possible to open a socket, create a HTTP request which contacts itself and thus creates a segment in memory to run the new PHP task. The file system or database service as the IO for the thread to create a monitor or pass events back and forth to the new memory space.
