Following up on the note about redundant Apache clusters, Joyeur has a long list of load balancers that is also worth a look. One other tool that is not on that list is Crossroads. Are there any other load balancing tools that are missing from that list? Please let us know!

These “Ask Slashdot” links are old, but the resulting discussions were lively and still contain a bunch of useful information:
Replacing FileMaker with Free Software
Windows to Mac Migration Guide/Advice
Multicast Imaging for Mac OS X
John Gruber over at Daring Fireball has put together a language syntax module for those using BBEdit to manage Apache configuration files. This module makes it easier to read and edit httpd.conf, .htaccess, virtual host containers, and other Apache configuration files [initial announcement | project home].
For those who may have missed it, Kevin O’Malley has put together a great guide to BBEdit and Unix for MacDevCenter. Part I is an introduction to BBEdit’s Unix support features, while Part II drills down into filters, scripts, and Emacs key bindings.

John Gruber has a handy tutorial on setting up PHP syntax checking in BBEdit over at Daring Fireball. While this provides only basic PHP syntax checking, it’s better than no check at all.

Flash animations, QuickTime movies, and Java applets have been seamlessly integrated alongside web content for many years. But the next Windows version of MS Internet Explorer, due in 2004, breaks that seamlessness by prompting the user before downloading each active content element (i.e., anything placed using object, embed, and applet tags). Thankfully, Ronald Northrip has written a $15 shareware application called IEWebFix that will scan and modify HTML, XHTML, XML, ASP, JSP, PHP, and CFM files to get around IE’s new behavior. For those curious about the details, Apple’s Developer Connection has more information about preparing sites for these impending changes.

The first update since version 1.0 was released 18 months ago, MoinMoin 1.1 includes access control lists (ACL), a new diff interface, a slew of new configuration options (like user-definable smileys), and numerous other changes.

We’ve been on the lookout for a good language-neutral integrated development environment (IDE), and the Eclipse project appears to be a very solid cross-platform solution. While it doesn’t support all languages natively, there are a ton of plugins available for it. Read more about Eclipse in an overview published earlier this week over on MacDevCenter.
