I apparently need to get back to that book.

You know those days when you think you know a bit, and stumble upon someone who knows vastly more than you? Today was one of those days. It appears we're both Devops guys in Chicago; can I buy you a beer sometime?

If free beer is the price of entry here, I'd love to pick your brains as well, since we're about to run into this exact same problem. (I'm in Chicago as well)

Where do all you Chicago hackers hang out? I'm new to the city and I never see anything like a Chicago HN meetup posted here.

If you find out, let me know. I can tell you where the infosec / security researcher types are, but not where the startup people are.

Maybe we should just invent something new.

Sounds great. where do I sign up? :-)

Mail me? We should just arrange the next HN meetup ourselves. We can probably pick a better venue than the last one I went to here. :)

Email sent (earlier today).

I would love to come, just to listen and learn.

Hey, I'd love to join! I'll buy the beers if you two guys just teach me all the sysadmin stuff you know. :-D

I'd certainly be down. I love talking about this entire arena, specifically where it falls on its face.

Thanks for the post. Would you mind sharing how much you were paying Heroku per month (on average and peak usage)? Thanks again!
