ServiceUptime is a service I’ve been using for some months now, to track possible downtimes on my blog. It is a good service that checks your website from multiple locations every once in a while, to see if there aren’t any outages. They offer a free plan, which is limited to one website checked every 30 minutes, and some premium plans which a check period as small as 1 minute, SMS notification (after x unsuccessful attempts), double check and a lot of other features.
The last few months, I’ve been working on a new project: a personal publishing platform. Originating from a blogging platform, the application I’m currently developing is much more: all different kinds of entries can be managed through it. Whether you want to post articles, blog posts, recipes or images, the system manages them all in the same way, but displays them differently.
