Mac applications are not like Windows
If you are a Windows user, you know that installing software is quite a production. There's special "Installer" software that runs, and if you ever want to remove the program you have to run a special un-installer. It's all very high tech and full of voodoo, so when you first see a Mac install telling you to just drag something to your applications folder, you may feel like you must be missing something or that dropping something in Applications triggers some mysterious "installation" event.
Why is my system slow? This is not a performance tuning article. If your system is always slow, this article may not be what you are looking for. I'll be covering some general performance related issues here, but the main focus is for the system that was running fine yesterday but is sucking mud today. The typical response to such problems is "Reboot it", and while that may indeed fix the problem, it does not address the root cause, so you are likely to have the situation again.
Self Hosting in the FIOS Era I don't really like external hosting. A co-located server would be better, but that's fairly expensive. In-house does have some downsides, but it has some good points too. The biggest downside to bringing it in-house is the possibility of being down due to a power failure. Verizon does provide battery backup for its equipment, but that's only good for a few hours - if there was a major power outage here, my site could be dead, dead, dead.
