I don't love the political tone of this article. But while on the topic of healthcare, did any of you guys have an amazing time getting healthcare for your companies? We found it was quite a bit of work, especially multi-state. Talking t

We have one of these for our office too, and it works great :-). My only problem is that I want one for my apartment too, so I can stop carrying keys altogether.

It's pretty awesome that they opened this up and told the world where the money went. I'd love to see this kind of openness for other companies that become acquahired or get shut down. Interesting but not surprising that roughly 25% of the

I just wanted to ++puppet. Once you have more than a few servers you will go crazy if you don't have a good configuration management setup. The real advantage of using a tool like puppet over something home grown is that you can hire someo

If you guys create a tutorial for [1] we'll promote it on our blog and twitter. To do the json version of http://www.olark.com/transcripts we'd need to expose an Oauth endpoint and do a few other things that would probably take a while :-
