16 pratical tips to speed up WordPress on Media Temple’s Grid-Service
Here you have general rules but I think that this guide will be very useful specially for Media Temple GS users (like me).
As maybe you know when you buy this service you can use each month 1000 GPUs (which stands for Grid Performance Unit).
According to Media Temple website “1 GPU = 7.24% of 1 CPU for 1 hour. You can use up to 1.38 GPU’s per hour and not go over the 1000 GPU limit”.
After this limit you have to pay $0.10 per GPU.
If your WordPress is not correctly configured you’ll need a lot of GPUs for few thousands of users.
After a good optimization instead you’ll be able to respect the montly limit without problems (if not, maybe you can consider  to upgrade your plan to a dedicated-virtual server).
I read a lot of different opinions about the Media Temple’s Grid-Service.
Personally i love it (keep up the good work, guys!), but i’m absolutely sure that you have to work a bit with your theme to take all the advantages of this technology.
So, roll up your sleeves, and it’s time to start.
How to create 3D abstract circles in Photoshop CS4
This is the first of a new series of tutorials about Photoshop CS4 and its new features.
We will create abstract circles in real 3D. To complete this tutorial you need Photoshop CS4 (…), a good graphic card and 5 minutes.
The effect i want to recreate is the typical style of James White but in “3D mode” and in a quickest way.
The ball created in that tutorial is amazing but has two disadvantages:
1) You have to complete 15 steps to obtain a good result and you have to change a lot of blending modes.
2) The final image is flat. A normal 2D layer.
With my tutorial you’ll be able to achieve the same effect but in 5 steps, without playing with the blending options and the result will be a REAL 3D layer.
So…we can start.
