So, not only did it not make enough money for the business to run, you decided to support it for forever for free as open source? I suppose you can just ignore every issue and problem and security vulnerability that comes up in the future,

Oh, an actual status report. I expected this to be a page that just said: "Mostly upset about stuff, but still quite witty, completely random, and - this is a re-post."

When I ran a brick and mortar business, we ran Google Ads to get bookings, and we could always tell when our ads weren't running, met their budget, or were not running for some reason because our bookings would effectively drop to zero

In my ~17 year career as a professional web developer and consultant, I'm not sure that any technology has made me more frustrated and miserable than the days when I had to help people who insisted on using Frontpage to build their web

All squatters. This price change won't affect anything in terms of squatters though, they'll keep buying even if the prices almost double over 10 years. This just means more money for ICANN / Verisign. Most squatters I know o

I'd argue that there is absolutely no "trend" whatsoever. It's just that some people are dying from it, and that's what happens to some people when they get a virus.

A fan can be a lot of things. You can sell software development services, and your fan may be a graphic designer who uses you every time to build out the back-end for the beautiful designs they make. You do a good job, you're their go-

I'm completely with you on this. The responses to your posts are disgusting. I don't think a lot of people around here understand what it means to provide services to small local businesses. I don't know about you, but I&#x27

Exactly. I live in a house of 6 people. We have discussed this at the dinner table, and it's just too bad the iOS music app isn't completely re-configurable so each user can make it their own. When you start the app, it can ask &q

This headline is a little sensational. When I ran a brick and mortar business where we took bookings, Google Ads were imperative to us getting new business. So were Facebook Ads. When they weren't running for some reason, or weren&#x27

She didn't care about telling you because you didn't do anything about it, and she knew you wouldn't. People are starting to realize that everyone else is so caught up in their own crap they will never take the time to concer

Not if they're smart enough to capitalize on this. With just the right touch, they could potentially crush it with the Super Bowl coming. I don't know. Maybe a bunch of people sitting around holding Corona Light beers with hospita

Well, this long list is certainly a nice reminder that Google is going to be a permanent part of most peoples' lives for ... forever. Seriously. Google can use this as marketing for why people love Google so much.

It's all good until they don't realize the thing that is happening is something they should call about. You'll sit down to talk to your parents someday and the damage will already be done. The scammers are fast. They are good

Life is a lottery. I had the opportunity to take a job as lead programmer at a dot com that ended up becoming one of the biggest entertainment companies of the early 2000's and I passed for a job at a company that went bust in 6 months

The only pages I ever go back to are the ones where I hope, or need, to find NEW content. Forums, stock art, reddit, hacker news, facebook, twitter, github (for updates). There is really only a small subset of Internet content that will eve

Sorry, but this is the classic "I have nothing to hide" argument in regards to privacy. If they want to market their services as "donate your DNA for research" and then, as a side-note, we'll send you back some fun

I don't see any comparisons here. Flash had a timeline based animation system with vector graphics, animations, easing, tweening, etc. Does Construct have anything like that?

I cannot even think of a single person in any of my networks of people who would buy this and put it in their home. It has "hell no" written all over it. It's almost arrogant or bizarre that they would try to launch such a pr

Then you realize the true pain of having a near-zero reputation when trying to email anything to people on Gmail, Yahoo, Live, etc, etc. Expect to go to spam even if you have DKIM, SPF, and no relaying. If anyone actually knows the secret t
