Still I think it’s easier and faster to write your own “distributed” server than studying some plugin documentation.

Hm, I don’t really agree here. You could fix the documentation and add you features to the existing project. But I have to admit, I can understand your feelings and I’ve done the same.

As the one giving the “sharing the load” talk – question from Marcin was about BackgrounDrb pretty recent addition, i.e. a scheduler. I did mine back in the days when BackgrounDrb didn’t have one and you had to simulate scheduling using sleep(). Still I think it’s easier and faster to write your own “distributed” server than studying some plugin documentation.

And after studying recent additions to BackgrounDrb – yeah, that pretty much covers the functionality that I was implementing while it wasn’t available in BackgrounDrb back then.

Anyway the talk will soon be available in PDF and video format
