Things have been bubbling along quite nicely here at APPLEBOX. As we're a local video store, our focus at this point is on building local membership. In our area (around our shop in Fairfield, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia), that's typically a non-tech crowd who use APPLEBOX simply because it's a better way to rent DVD's than going to Video Ezy up the road.

So to satisfy the inner-geek within myself (and pop my head up amongst the techs out there), I recently posted a run down on our web stack and development approach: http://applebox.com.au/blog/2007/12/mda-soa-and-serverless-ajax-our-web-stack-defined/

And wow! We got picked up by Ajaxian and featured in their showcase section: http://ajaxian.com/archives/applebox-itunes-in-serverless-ajax . Yikes, the traffic spike was great , and even better to know our little server chugged along quite happily without missing a beat.

So we're still here, alive and kicking! 

Woo hoo!! Congrats!
