#Distributed System Course List

##Systems

• Cornell CS 614 - Advanced Course in Computer Systems - Ken Birman teaches this course. The readings cover more distributed systems research than is typical (which I am in favour of!). In fact, there's barely anything on traditional internal OS topics like filesystems or memory management. There's some worthwhile commentary at the bottom of the page.

• Princeton COS 518 - Advanced Operating Systems - short and snappy reading list of two papers per topic, covering some interesting stuff like buffering inside the operating system, and L4.

How to setup Heroku Hostname SSL with GoDaddy SSL Certificate and Zerigo DNS
Heroku recently added an exciting new 'Hostname SSL' option.  This option offers the broad compatibility of IP-based SSL, but at 1/5 the price ($20 / month at the time of this writing).  
 
The following tutorial explains how to use Heroku's new 'Hostname SSL' option on your Heroku project.  Before we begin, let's list what we're using here:

    * Heroku Hostname SSL
    * GoDaddy Standard SSL Certificate
    * Zerigo DNS

The process starts by creating the CSR and the private key:

openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout dotmarks.net.key -out dotmarks.net.csr -subj "/C=GB/ST=London/L=London/O=dotmarks/OU=IT/CN=dotmarks.net"

Generates

• dotmarks.net.key
• dotmarks.net.csr
