So the first preview of my tornado app is live

I stopped working on the tornado version for several weeks to give
node.js a try. A week back into working with the tornado version and
I have my first preview version up. Go figure. I've already had one
person comment on how fast it is.

For more info about what the future holds for the project, read the
about page here http://www.unscatter.com/about

Please note, this is no where near done, but the few hits I get from
posting about it will help me sort out some of the infrastructure
pieces.

For those that are interested, it's two instances of tornado (using
listen instead of bind) run via supervisord behind an nginx proxy.
Currently caching is being done with memcached, though I may move this
into mongodb. Right now I'm thinking I may be able to drop memcached
entirely in favor of mongodb for caching and session storage. Hosting
is a small 256MB RAM rackcloud server. I'm already squeaking into some
swap, so will probably have to upgrade to a 512MB sooner rather than
later, and then I believe I can horizontally scale from there.
