Clown Computing... :)
 
As many of You guys here probably work in the IT industry You've probably heard about Cloud Computing several times... ;)

Well, me and some of my co-workers thought that "Clown Computing" sounded so much better... :D

So here is the result -> http://clowncomputing.dk ... :)

Let me know what You think of it... ;)

And... Remember... In a few years all Your precious applications will be available in the Big Clown... ;)

What exactly is the purpose of the site? It doesn't seem very obvious.

To make people laugh... ;)

No plot, no cruel vision or anything. Just plain stupidity in a box... :)

Not quite what I was expecting.

Where are all the juggling algorithms? Mimetypes? Comedy physics acceleration?

But I'm sure you're already working on these...

We're having a good laugh about it at work too... It just sounds better... ;)

The first few hours after I registered the domain and set up a new vhost for it it only showed this picture and the text "Put the fun back into computing!" -> http://www.poplexity.net/uploads/clown_computing.jpg

Exactly! :)

I found this definition of Clown Computing:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...wn%20computing

Quote:
"When you try to cram as many services (or vms) onto a single machine as possible.
- We're moving our database, app servers, reporting, message queues, mail servers, and static content to a single machine as part of the Clown Computing initiative."

Actually, this sounds very much like what I'm doing @ home... :D I totally got this Clown Computing thing... ;)
