I have recently found two nice articles that are even nicer if they are being read one after each other. The both articles are talking about the same topic: Multitasking. First of them (http://blogs.hbr.org/silverman/2010/06/in-defense-of-multitasking.html) says that multitasking is good. The most intelligent things in the world (the computers) would be useless without it...

Recently, a new version of Amazee has been released. Cod name: Streamazee. More information can be found here, on the official blog of Amazee: http://blog.amazee.com/release-2-2-2-streamazee

At the begin of this week Amazee has born again. With a totally new user interface, and other improvement at the speed and code level. The work was hard, but I think that in the end, there was a successful relaunch. Keep reading to see some of the new features in Amazee.

Amazee won its first big contest (I think it's the bigger one until now). It is about the Swiss ICT Award. What can I say, I think they deserve it, they work hard every day and it looks like their work is starting to give results.
More about this contest you find here: http://www.swissict-award.ch/ (I hope you can understand german ;) ).
A short movie here: http://www.swissict-award.ch/award09.html with an interview with Dania at the end (starting with the 7th minute in the movie).

A few months ago, due to the week performance of the Amazee application for some pages, the need for a speed improvement came up. So, we tried to think about some ways of improving the overall speed of the Amazee site. A very good idea came from Liviu: caching the locale in memory. The locale functionality is one or maybe even the most used in the Amazee application, and in general in all Drupal based sites so a good way of caching the localization strings is vital for a good speed of the application. This was even more vital in this case, because at the moment, in Amazee there are over 3500-4000 strings. Also, at the moment there are 2 languages enabled, but the number could increase.
