I really like the way he adds up the current value of the prospects in his funnel. I think it's a really great way to keep track of how much value each activity you could be doing right now will create so that you can more easily decide wha

Wait you can what!?? Holy moly, I've been writing JS for like 3 years now and I never knew this.

I think this is great. One problem I've had over and over again in the past is that I could build a decent MVP web app with something like bootstrap but I could never design a nice looking frontend to convince people to register and try it

The Hal Higdon plans are renowned and come highly recommended. I'm using his half marathon plan for my first half mara and training is proceeding nicely. The pace feels right.

Of course, that makes more sense. I was thinking of terms of the pressure front lagging further behind the meteorite in proportion to the length of time that the meteorite is traveling at a speed greater than the speed of sound. Thanks for

I can't get over how long it takes for the sonic boom to hit. This video has the meteorite trail on camera for 27 seconds before you hear the boom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np_mpGYSBSA How fast does something have to be travelling t

I've heard the explanation that Russian insurance companies are much less likely to pay out if you don't have a dashcam. I'm not sure how true that is but it sounds likely to me.

Here’s the best part, however. The distribution of introverts and extroverts in the population looks eerily like the results Grant found plotting revenue across his 1-to-7 scale. Some of us are heavy introverts. Some of us are stalwart ext

I've been toying with the idea of writing a book recently. Probably not a big 200 page job but even 50 pages on some niche subject. I always remember Jeff Atwood once said: "If I had to make a list of the top 10 things I've done in my life

I think it's just like when you try to play a games console game and the Y-axis is inverted. Some people think it's normal, some people hate it.

Yeah that's why I made it. I was doing the same thing over and over with a thesaurus so I just decided to automate the process.

I can't really open source the main Rails app "as is" because it would present a security issue for me. The Tweet/Like buttons just come from the Twitter and Facebook developer sites (for example: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/tweet-button

Also it's getting kinda killed at the moment which is why the availability checks are coming back kinda slow and are sometimes failing. Should settle down after the rush is over.

One of the problems you're going to run into is simply that the switching costs for an enterprise size company looking to change from a CMS like this are going to be huge. People are going to want retraining and orientation of a level that

Cool, I might look into doing that instead. Thanks.

Haha no worries. I just link to name.com because it's what I like to use for my own domain purchases (of which there are many!). Of course I do get a referral fee but it's pretty small so I won't lose any sleep over it.

by grinnick 14y ago
Really cool! What are you using for availability checking? You're getting so many and they're coming in so fast!?
117.
by grinnick 14y ago
Not sure to be honest but probably not. My availability checks eventually go through this ruby gem: http://www.ruby-whois.org/ Basically it just does a whois lookup on the domain and I don't think I could replicate that behavior from the

In case anyone is interested, this is a really bare Rails app which basically just delegates to two open source Ruby gems I wrote and does some caching to try and improve result fetching speed and cut down on api requests. One gem is a wrap

It's tough because it's not as difficult as you might imagine to get your IP address rate limited. If a lot of people were using it at once and I was sending out hundreds of availability checking requests I'd probably hit the limits. For ex

Thanks! Although, if this post gets in any way popular I'm sure we'll see just how slow it can get! I have weak design skills at all so for me, bootstrap is incredibly valuable when building things like this. It's great.
