   Patience is indeed key. I've had several sports related injuries over the years; two things have always caused problems for me: 1. my impatience to get back into the swing of things too soon 2. not listening to the physiotherapist/doctor/re

   Using Django with the django-piston project (link below) enables you to create a very easy web REST-based API. Using the javascript library jQuery and delving into its copious amount of plugins (autocomplete example link below) would enable

   Ummm... your own IRC server? Seems pretty realtime to me, and quite configurable. Of course, IRC is geared towards group chat, not user-user. Perhaps include some more details about what your restrictions/requirements are - will the users

   Who you know is incredibly important in tough times, as byoung2 states. If you know someone in a company you're interested in, you're in a far better position to get access to an interview, at least. Depending on your experience level and

   UltraEdit and Komodo are good. Komodo has a free version, I think.

   Reseller and/or affiliate networks come to mind - let them do the selling for you, for a commission. This would be easier to accomplish with traditional desktop-type software than a packaged web-app - but I would argue that it's not impossi

   Sounds like some aspects of Google Wave. Interesting idea - make it big before Google Wave is released and takes off, or you might have trouble gaining traction. ;) Good luck!

    Thanks for passing this on. I wouldn't mind getting http://www.snapact.com/ into a PyMag article. Python/PostgreSQL (Django) replaced a custom PHP/MySQL website for us and in my opinion was a great help!

    I've heard this comment from others before - but alas, I cannot echo it as I haven't had experience with anything ASP or .NET related. Not an uncommon sentiment though.

    Personally, I'd say that #3 gives you the best option to open up a new lifestyle for yourself. $3k profit is nice, but $30k would allow you to travel the globe while still being able to work on the website when you needed to - you and your

    David, the project's creator, and Daniel, Haystack's creator/maintainer have managed a good dialogue back and forth, ensuring a decent integration. I know that Xapian-Haystack has gone through a couple of refactoring iterations since incep

    It's opening up in a couple of months, but they make no claims about it being ready for "prime time". In fact, I would say that they're opening it to a wider audience, but not completely open. See http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10300

    I, with my partners, am working on http://www.snapact.com/ in the midst of creating a better API in order to create more clients for more platforms. Fun and exciting (to me) stuff.

    Nginx's architecture doesn't really mesh well with WSGI's interface protocol... I believe it has to do with blocking the serving Nginx process whilst the WSGI request is being processed. Nginx prefers to "pass off" the request to a web-app

    I'm no expert, but I'll chime in with my thoughts. I'd look into doing something like the following, which is largely what you've already thought of: - umbrella corp -- project corp #1 -- project corp #2 I'd be working on new ideas (incuba

    The "API Basics" PDF doc states that you must a) have an API ID and b) limit your Queries Per Second (QPS) to 7/second. 'b)' sounds like a usage quota to me.

    As I recall, EICAR has been around for years. It's not 'new', by any stretch of the imagination. EICAR might help inform you if your AV engine is running; it won't tell you how effective your AV engine is against current threats. It's real
