Callbacks Are An Informal Pipeline
Spending some time with Node.js I've begun to realize what a pain callbacks can be when they become sufficiently deep. That said, after sufficient nesting it's pretty easy to see how callbacks become very similar to a pipeline (in the simplest case, anyway).

Log Collection Server with Node.js
A look at using Node.js to write a log collection server and also log submission clients. My first experiment with Node.js, which really impresses me with how easy it is to write flexible, powerful and efficient code in Node.js.

Mundane, and one that every single admin/developer has had to deal with in some form or fashion through the years. There's a good post by Jordan Sissel on working toward an OS solution: http://www.semicomplete.com/blog/geekery/log-analytics-with-open-source.html
At Loggly we're building a solution with off the shelf OS parts (Django, Solr, Syslog-NG) and are definitely planning on using the node.js server to be able to do tailing of log files we are collection.
Great post Will!

Actually, Splunk has a free download which will allow you to index up to 500M/day. The free download will never expire and is not a trial. You really should check it out especially if you want to do real analytics on the data.
How sad that nobody ever heard of that website. However I also just knew it by today.
Marketing is needed even for the best websites.
