jamesholden.net runs on nginx, and has done ever since the anti-terror billboard went totally viral. Whilst many people haven’t heard of nginx, it’s got a fair few success stories to its name and powers some major sites including Wordpress.com and FastMail.FM.

James Holden went to Geekup Leeds, and gave a talk on SMS and MMS messaging. Here are the slides and a link to the interactive SMS/MMS text-in wall.
