Hogan showed me memcache a while back, and I literally implemented it the same day. Even if your site isn’t high traffic it hopefully will be in the future. When that time comes you’re going to wish you had made some better architecture choices. Don’t make not having used memcached one of them. memcached has allowed me to do things that would be completely impractical without it. Just recently I re-implemented a caching system using memcache, and I the system can handle several orders of magnitude more traffic. Not only that, but the code was actually cleaner and simpler. memcached’s automatic expiration of unused cache objects is superb for caching dynamic content.

So, like SEO Blackhat said: if you’re not using memcached yet, don’t wait until you need it or get around to it. Do it fucking now.

Rumor has it, eBay feels snubbed, and is planning its own baby auction to drum up some press for itself. Now I didn’t even know Shawn had a kid, but I guess if he wants to put it up for free on Craigslist thats his business. I can see why he wouldn’t want to auction it on eBay, thats doesn’t seem quite morally sound.
