Project Management - Basecamp, activeCollab, and Goplan
Derek Punsalan of 5thirtyOne has posted a great write-up on the differences and advantages in three online project management and collaboration tools. The article lays out the options for Basecamp, activeCollab, and Goplan.

Decrease WordPress Blog Load Times With WP-Cache!
I have been tinkering with various WordPress Plugins to improve the site. I have been very impressed with WP-Cache 2.0. Enabling the plugin increase the speed of the site tremendously. Site load times went from and 3.17s to 0.56s.

It works by caching Worpress pages and storing them in a static file for serving future requests directly from the file rather than loading and compiling the whole PHP code and then building the page from the database. WP-Cache allows to serve hundred of times more pages per second, and to reduce the response time from several tenths of seconds to less than a millisecond.
