With Easter comes sweets, and lots of them (at least here in Sweden!). This year we have something extra sweet for all you site owners who don’t have proper uptime monitoring set up for your website yet, something that might come in handy while you’re at home relaxing during Easter.
The above picture is a dead giveaway, isn’t it? 
You get 75% off if you sign up for a Pingdom account during Easter with this code: easter2009
You can click on the picture above to go directly to the signup page with the discount code already filled in. Or, if you want to learn more about Pingdom first, check out our website.
Tip: We recommend that you pick a yearly account since the discount applies to the first invoice. I.e. if you sign up for a monthly account you get 75% off on the first month, but if you sign up for a yearly account, you get 75% off on the first year.
The campaign lasts from now until April 20 (to cover Easter all over the world).
Happy Easter everyone!

Display resolutions are increasing every year, something that’s being taken to its extreme with the recent “retina display” trend that came with the latest iPad. The jump in onscreen pixels is massive, and such displays are soon bound to make their way into regular laptops and desktop displays, perhaps as soon as this year.
This development will have a profound effect on the size of the graphics resources necessary for websites, which ultimately will make websites bigger, more bloated and slower to download. That is, if we don’t change tactics.

The juggernaut that is Facebook is quickly approaching 1 billion users, so the social network is growing at a rapid pace overall.
But if we look at some of the latest figures available, it would seem that Zuckerberg’s creation is not gaining users in every corner of the world.
In fact, in one country, Facebook has lost 16% of its users over the last six months, the equivalent of over 200,000 users. But in another country, Facebook has gained almost 17 million users over the same period.
What countries are we talking about, you ask? Read on and we’ll tell you.

Developers who want a portable computer to code on, which is thin, light, sleek and yet powerful, may now be getting another option in an ultrabook from Dell. What makes the “Sputnik” ultrabook different is that it runs Ubuntu 12.04 Linux and it’s tailor-made for developers.
Every Friday we bring you a collection of links to places on the web that we find particularly newsworthy, interesting, entertaining, and topical. We try to focus on some particular area or topic each week, but in general we will cover Internet, web development, networking, performance, security, and other geeky topics.
