We’ve been cooped up inside, cranking away on code.. so we thought Labor Day weekend might be a good time to get out and do something that didn’t involve a keyboard. We went cart racing at K1 in Anaheim on Saturday and it was good times all around. K1 Speed does indoor electric cart racing and the carts are pretty fast, fast enough to get into trouble around some of the bends. Here’s Cody, while we’re all waiting to race, sporting his iconic and all around incredibly awesome Blesta t-shirt.

Here’s Cody and Tyson, both Blesta developers. You know those video tutorials? Tyson made them.

And here are our scores after our second race. As you can see, Tyson beat me by 1/5th of a second! I’ll have to get him back next time…

Blesta won the saasdir.com award for Top 25 most popular for August. Check it out and place your vote for us for September!

Yesterday we announced support for VPS.NET on our forums, and it turns out Blesta is the first billing app to make use of VPS.NET’s new API. You can read about it on their blog too. VPS.NET has a unique node based VPS offering where more nodes mean more VPS and we’re proud to be the first to offer support. Big thanks to Carlos and Ditlev from VPS.NET! You can watch a video tutorial on configuring the module

here. In the future we will be extending functionality including.. 1. Implementing the VPS.NET node selector tool in an order template. 2. Allowing clients to select the OS Template at order, as opposed to only being set on the package level. 3. Adding a reboot option to the client area.
