(and here is a quick hint, if you want a $100 GoGrid credit on new account,

Clara, CA this week, staffing the booth and generally enjoying talking to a
wide range of developers, technologists, vendors, partners and others, but I
also was able to do a couple of interviews with Peter Silva, Technical
Marketing Manager of f5 Networks. If you don’t already know, free f5 load
balancing has been built in to GoGrid since its launch in March 2008.
Below are pair of interviews that appear here as well as on the f5 DevCentral
site. We hope you enjoy them!
First is the one with Peter as “int... (more)
