Feel free to get in touch with me too - check my profile for contact info. I've lived in Victoria for about 13 years - I moved here from other parts of Canada, so a bit of a different scenario than that being discussed.

Why is this pointing at a fork of the project? Edit: Scratch that. I see the original was .css. My apologies!

I agree. Posterous needs some love, or they should just shut it down. There are a number of bugs cropping up.

Not to pry, but would you consider sharing the heuristics, even if at a general level, perhaps via a blog post? I think that many hacker peers would love to know what works for your team.

If you like sci-fi - try the Red/Green/Blue Mars trilogy. Not exactly recent, but I thought quite good.

I'd love to see more responses to this - only I'm thinking of py-statsd.

Looks like that link has been taken down - the repo replaced by a newly initialized one.

Google definitely seems to be making a real push with Go - I believe it's just recently hit 1.0 status. I'd like to see strong contenders for web frameworks in the language, but I think the game is still quite early. There are a few option

As a Django dev (currently, anyhow - formerly was largely Windows software dev), I think I would investigate Go, if we're talking purely from a 'fun' perspective. From a professional perspective, I've been dabbling in Objective-C/Cocoa and

I'm on the site, but I can't log in or retrieve my password using my standard username. It would be nice to have a reset password by email instead of just username.

The best route for you is to spearhead it yourself and make another go of it - but it's assumed from the tone and wording in your posting that you're not in this frame of mind... Suggestion: don't let go of something with promise! Look to p

Startup have nothing to lose; established market players have everything to lose. It's not that established players can't innovate, it's that they do need to focus on maintaining and protecting their market share. You frequently see small

I used to care more about beautiful... but now it's all about functional for me - and its important to consider that sometimes beautiful gets in the way of functional. It shouldn't, but it can without proper design. I say "used to care" b

I've known companies to do this to get around Google slap issues with products, yes. Typically, in the affiliate world. In that space, once you've found a winning product (ie. tons of sales), it makes sense to replicate under a different b

You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. It is patents like this that render the innovative entrepreneurial market to a suffocating doom. And no, it's not just Apple, of course - I'm not focussing on them particularly. They were just lucky enough

Twitter goes down regularly (insert innuendo joke here haha). It's usually short-lived downtime however, just like this time. It seems fine to me.

Too bad that there aren't any holes in the seal in North America, let alone other parts of the world other than Europe. I guess that makes me safe from magical creatures, but it means I'm away from the fun and action of it all. ;)
