I pondered whether GAE was the right place for me to build my own personal feed hub. Basically, an inverted approach to FriendFeed-style aggregation in which I build my web lifestream and therefore have creative direction over how the cont

Would a trial period or shareware solve this problem for you?

If there is an inherent agility to team-based, distributed free software development, then it will definitely be increasingly hard for organizations with any significant inertia to stay in play once their problem domain has been noticed. I

Lenovo Thinkpad T61 widescreen. Pros: biometric scanner is cool. Good performance. Not too heavy for being a large, wide machine (certainly no Air). Good for mobile coding and design work when coupled with a widescreen monitor as a secon

This article aggravated me a bit. "As for Web developers other than Google, I'm not sure whether they're struggling with Gears, or whether there's simply less interest in offline apps than I hoped and guessed there would be." Go ask a few a

Most philosophers start from a premise they want to be true and work it out until they have a proof, (sometimes) claim they did it the other way around and make use of one or more subjective statements in their proof. The subjective statem

I like this approach (although I would shift things earlier, because I'm an early bird). A couple of questions, if you don't mind: - Do you have meetings, and if so, how do you balance them against your "protected" time? - Do you work with

I fear for my Flickr :-\ Seriously, though, I think Microsoft is also buying managers and developers who made better moves in many of the areas where it has fallen behind. YUI vs. "Atlas" (is it still called Atlas) for example. They get s

"The main focus of the initial beta is to test the unified installer for the package, they said." This is a decent example of where I disagree with their approach. Everyone I have met that uses Google Docs does so largely because it's zero

So, in a nutshell, you trust ClickPass security less than you trust your email provider's security. And, the margin is great enough to overcome whatever ease-of-use gains you might get from ClickPass over email. Did I get that right?

Hrm. Fair enough. I was assuming the "write" step would include something atypical enough to screw up a program that just looks for "blogs" to "comment on." But, that might not be the case for everyone (or even for me).

If the gradual engagement includes a reasonably complex operation, like writing an article and then creating an account to post it, does this obviate the need for a CAPTCHA? I'm curious, because I hate CAPTCHAs, but only slightly less than

Prime time = no Firebug? Eep. I'll wait until it comes out on DVD. It worked fine for me, but I kind of use Firebug a lot. Sorry, I forgot I was on the internet. I use it alot. Installing version 3 dumped all my sessions. Not a big de

Heroku has a revision system as of the last update. You can also edit on local machines via a gem that synchs up to Heroku, though I haven't tried this. You can also snapshot your app at any point and export for additional backup. I've b

As a left-winger, here goes: Yes, there are nut jobs. But, yes, you are engaged in a fallacious generalization. It's also called a prejudice. But here's a softer restatement of what you said for those of us who at least think we're not n

About an hour a day, averaging weekends in with weekdays. I partly became so interested in Rails because I could actually accomplish things noticeably in that amount of time.

I'm doing that as we speak. A semi-social site for poetry writers with revisions, diff, textile markup, blah blah. Poetry and monetize don't go in the same sentence.
