While hosting is pretty much a utility these days, it is something we tend to get excited about. We've been using Linode VPS system for 5 years now, and it provides a super-fast and exceptionally reliable system.

We've been using CCK extensions almost as long as we've been using Joomla, but we're seeing a really positive evolution lately. As the Joomla! content component has improved, there has been less that we needed CCKs for. In tandem to this, the Joomla! plug-in architecture has become really useful. So rather than replacing the Joomla! content component with a whole extra user interface, we can extend it, adding our fields data as required. The solution we've been using for the last year or so is FieldsAttach which allows you to augment the Joomla! content editor with fields of your choosing.

We were down at Aberdeen's 57North Hacklab today, great to see what's happening. There was a great talk by Tony Travis of Minke Informatics on Parallella.
