[21:55:08]  To the cloud!





[22:01:55]  I feel so disconnected 😉





[22:02:26]  James has a very similar talking style to Don, atleast that how it sounds to me





[22:03:45]  Man you guys own a LOT of domains 🙂





[22:05:06]  fyi Steam has Plants vs. Zombies for 2 bucks.. nice





[22:05:16]  I love that game





**

**

[22:25:21]  ### sorry if this was already addressed.... But do the sites created and that run posh, handle site load as well as sites made the traditional way





**

**

[22:27:50]  ## does it multi-thread request handling?





[22:28:16]  ## does each request run on the same runspace?





[22:28:25]  ## or is it a new runspace every single time?





[22:30:29]  ## Do powershell scripters have to choose between learning web design and ending up with sites that look like yours?





**

**

[22:34:42]  I just watched that movie "The Social Network"...I picture James writing Pipeworks while drunk in a single evening

[22:36:43] * BSonPosh (~tshell@129.62.91.184.cfl.res.rr.com) has quit IRC (error: Connection reset by peer)





[22:37:22] * BSonPosh (~tshell@129.62.91.184.cfl.res.rr.com) joins #PowerScriptingPodcast





[22:38:23]  my internet is flaky





[22:38:39]  BSonPosh we noticed





**

**

[22:42:04]  ## Have you done any load profiling?  That is, serving a similar site in asp.net mvc and hitting them each with 200 simultaneous users to see machine load?





**

[23:32:12] * proxb (~proxb@ip98-161-61-34.om.om.cox.net) has quit IRC (Get-Process -Name AdiIRC | Stop-Process)
