Red Hat's inverse-acquihire of CentOS makes sense

Red Hat and the CentOS project join forces, says the Red Hat official news release, “to accelerate community adoption and innovation for next-generation open source projects”.

The old method cache was cleared eacg time a new method was defined but now only that cache damage has been tracked down and reduced and a future of a more optimal larger cache has been opened up.

Node-RED's cool GUI for the Internet of Things

[caption id=“attachment_562” align=“alignright” width=“300”] Node-RED and a quick IRC bot flow[/caption]The latest version, 0.5.0 of IBM’s Apache licensed, incredibly useful and very cool Node-RED has landed but before going further, I suspect a lot of readers will want to know what Node-RED is. There’s usually a lot of connecting of things involved with making the Internet of Things do something useful.
