How about http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/ ?
esente··on AppFog Pricing Released
Regarding git vs af, if I could use the git already installed in my computer, and by simply adding my SSH key into AppFog system, I could avoid using `af` gem and Ruby altogether. Otherwise, I would have to install Ruby just for this purpose. But this is just personal taste.

Other PaaS such as Heroku or OpenShift allows you to set up a custom app. For example, you can create your own app type in Heroku's cedar stack with buildpacks, or the DIY app in OpenShift with supports for hooks.

Erlang probably isn't on the top of the priorities list, but I'm looking forwards to it.

esente··on AppFog Pricing Released
No integrated git-push deploy (I know you can use a gem with an extra instance to do that, but still). No SSH into your app. No custom app. Extra runtimes are there, but old (Erlang, for example), and no idea how to use them.

Other than those, it's a very good PaaS.

esente··on Introducing The New IFTTT
Not really excited. There are not many new channels, and those are mainly for some additional devices. Some may find them useful though.
esente··on Ask HN: Is there an open source SAAS framework?
There are OpenShift, and I think Joyent open-source its SmartOS too.
esente··on Tell HN: Heroku is Down (update: recovering as of 10PM PST)
Not sure if it's related, but www.pythonanywhere.com is also down.

I had no problem when using Tsung with my ejabberd server, but I haven't used with anything else, so I can't really tell.

The actor model tipped you off? :)

What about Tsung (http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/)?
esente··on Assembla Introducing Simple Planner for lightweight Agile, Scrum, and Kanban
It'd easier for a repo hosting service provider to provide an integrated planning tool. It'd be easier for customer too. Of course, only when they do it right.

I love Trello, but it's supposed to be generic, and thus, not easy to use it as a Kanban board (limit number of cards per list, etc) out of the box.

esente··on Mozilla's BrowserQuest - Massively Multiplayer HTML5 Experiment
Yes, but flash will not be here years from now. Just move on.
esente··on Poll: Which text editor do you use daily?
Well, I will take a few hundreds MB Sublime text editor (with tons of plugins) over the few GB VS2010 IDE anyday.
