The product I am referring to is src.sencha.io. You pass the path of your image into a src.sench.io url, pass some parameters and your image is resized dynamically. I have been receiving 503's inconsistently.
I have tweeted to Sencha, tried to write on their forums with no avail. I was hoping the community on StackOverflow could shed some light on the service. I am currently using the service in production, so you can imagine the amount of complaints received.
Will this service be maintained in the future and are there any workarounds at the moment? I would prefer not to pull the service entirely. You can imagine my frustration as a developer. I will be sure to never use any Sencha products in the future if this is how they choose to communicate with their developers, free or paid.
Are there any other similar services around that provide image resizing and retina support on the fly. I do not mind paying for the service.
I also use the service and have had this problem. I've written a graceful JavaScript fallback you may be interested in using:
https://github.com/ultrapasty/sencha-src-image-fallback
It falls back to local SRCs if src.sencha.io returns an error on the first request. Feel free to take, use, modify etc.
Thought I'd drop a message on here as it definitely adds value to the post for anyone looking at using ReSRC. If you fancy 50% off the first 3 months on a small or medium plan just enter 'halfprice-small' or 'halfprice-medium on checkout.

In addition to my fallback answer which doesn't directly address the question, I haven't used it myself, but keep coming across ReSRC.
Another similar looking one is responsive.io.
This article also has a good write up of many possibilities, under Do I care about relying on third parties?

I'm new to web developing and I want to make a web where the user fill in a few info and then get an answer from the backend. The info filled in is sent to the backend; the backend then process the info and send the answer back for display.
My question is how can I do it with the simplest possible framework? LAMP and GAE both seem ok to me in the long run, but is there any simpler framework good for my needs? I have also looked into LAMP provider like bitnami, however I can't find the application I need in the list of applications. If needed, I can program in Java.
Thanks! and please let me know if I need to clarify my question. I think what I'm asking is general guidance on setting up such a simple web.
Google AppEngine will work fine for your needs. You will need to program it, and Java works on GAE. Start with Java Tutorial and then gradually add your own server side processing. Of course many other web server platforms are possible, but users of GAE generally consider it to be very capable and easy enough to use. LAMP is likely to take you longer to learn.

Maybe a strange and green question, however
Is there anything that Nagios or Ganglia can do that the other can't?
In terms of monitoring, alerts in general.
I'm looking for a general solution for my school's computer club, in my mind its like comparing norton vs advast. both are antivirus however are there any specific benefits that one has over the other? Or am I asking a very stupid question now?
thank you.
Ganglia is aimed at monitoring compute grids, i.e. a bunch of servers working on the same task to achieve a common goal - such as a cluster of web servers.
Nagios is aimed at monitoring anything and everything - servers, services on servers, switches, network bandwidth via SNMP etc etc. Nagios will send alerts based on set criteria (ie, you can set it to send yourself an email or if x service dies).
Note that they are not competing products, they are aimed at different scenarios. By the sounds of it, you need Nagios.
If you have a play around with some online demos, you should be able to get a feel for what product you need (and I think you'll agree with me that Nagios is more suited)

I'm storing a variety of variables containing statistics, items weapons, etc in a flash based game. Currently I'm using PHP and AMFPHP as a backend, calling services to pull the data. This is fine for my own machine, even my own website, however if I want to deploy the game to a site such as Kongregate or ArmorGames, what storage method can I use at that point?
I have a small preference of continuing to use a database such as MySQL because I spent some time designing the ER diagram and schema, but if I have to store in a flat file, I can do that too. I'm especially interested in others who have deployed games which have data storage (such as inventory, characters, classes, items, mobs) external to their game.
Edit: Looking for answers as to whether people use remote services or another solution for deploying their games to sites such as this.
Perhaps you should peruse the documentation of the respective providers:
http://www.kongregate.com/developer_center/docs/shared-content-api
Not sure if armor games has any of that type.
I asked within Kongregate's developers, the answer is yes, I can use remote web services. The API unfortunately had nothing in it dealing with this issue.
You could use our backend Flox http://gamua.com/flox/. It allows you to store your inventories, characters, etc. It's not MySQL but based on a NoSQL database. However, since you'd be using the AS3 SDK, you would not get in touch with the DB anyway.
Also, I should mention that I am the lead developer of Flox, which may make me a bit biased. ;-)

I'm planning of creating a Last.FM scrobbler plugin for a music player in Windows. Last.FM submissions API relays on HTTP/1.1 GET and POST.
I've never done Internet oriented programming and I've still to know about the HTTP protocol but I'd like to start playing around with it sending and getting some data. I've looked at the Winsock interface but I don't know if it would be better to use any easier thing.
Do anyone of you know how could I do it? What could I use?
If so, could you point me to a tutorial too?
If it's a library it would be good that I can link statically to it, I would want to supply only the DLL of the plugin.
LibCurl is one of the most widely used and most portable.
libghttp is pretty lightweight.
Im unsure if it will compile cleanly on win32 though.
Windows comes with WinHttp, which does support GET and POST.
This is an old thread but in case this helps anyone else:
Use libCurl http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/simplepost.html
This is the easiest way I've found of doing a quick http post or get

This is more of a resource question rather than technical one.
I am building a website for a client who needs to categorize photos (motorcycles) and I am looking for a database of models/years/production year.
If anyone knows where I can find such database please let me know.
Here is a database I put together for a Motorcycle website I was working on.
Motorcycle & Scooter Database, Years 1970-2010, 16,000+ records
Here is a link that I was able to find for you. From my experience, it's really hard to find anything free that deals with vehicle database references because of the ever changing makes and models.
DataOneSoftware.com
If the above website doesn't work out for you, then another possiblity would be to see if you can find some of the old VIN lookup books out there and see if there is someway to get a download link or a CD copy of their information.
Good luck on your project.
You can automate an image search (through google image for example) for every make and model you got in the database. This method is error prone and the images have to be checked also manually to see that they are correct. But its an idea.
Also note copyright material and other things like that.
I have found another make-model-year database from here: http://allmotodatabase.com
Not perfect, but very good if you need moto make-model-year DB for some project, plus it contains some additional info (not available for all models though)
This came up when I was searching for one, I decided to scrape bikez.com, it's not complete (atm) but the scraper can be found https://github.com/ibash/bikez_scraper
