Postgres cluster

by Jason Couture

Could someone walk me through building a 3 machine postgres cluster with automatic fail over? I've searched and searched and I'm just not getting it. I currently have postgres 9.1 installed with 1 database as 9.1/main. I'd like to cluster this to provide ha and faster query times. Writes to the DB can be forced to the master only, so read-only slaves are okay (there are far more reads than writes) Can anyone help me out?

Super Wifi arrives in Hanover County, NC

by Tom Poe

Just read that Hanover County, NC, is moving to the FCC's authorized use of unlicensed broadcast frequency ("white spaces"). So, maybe it's a good time to put a proposal together to get our state counties to do the same. Anyone know the technical specs that would lay out a viable solution our county commissioners can consider? If you're interested, please contact me, or maybe we could discuss this as a topic on the mail list (best). Thanks, Tom

I am subscribed to the boston python programming language meetup group and there are a lot of job ads on their email list. The jobs need to be relevant to the python programming language, but python sounds like as good a language as any for the type of project you describe. http://meetup.bostonpython.com/ A friend of my wife used elance.com.

Where to find a software contractor?

by Andy Stewart

HI guys, I know a small businessman who is interested in potentially hiring somebody to write a piece of custom software. He is wondering where he would look to seek out contractors with the right credentials for this small project. He didn't mention too many details, but it sounds like the project will have something to do with bar code scanning, optical character recognition, and some type of graphical interface, most probably in a Windows environment. Where would you look if you were seeking a software professional on a short term contract basis?
