   Far better you look at the behavioral competencies that will make a good sales person - start from there. Try Googleing BBI (Behavioral Based Interviews)

   Hmmm thanks. I did search searchyc.com for a plugin, but I couldn't find any mention in the blog / about pages. Oh well it only took 5 mins. PS: I think this is one more vote for a resources wiki :)

   Thanks for this. I'm just selling my Macbook core2duo on ebay at the moment. I use a mac mini with a 23" screen at home, and I don't take the macbook out much because it's heavy and valuable, so mainly it just sits there doing nothing. I ha

    Main point, make sure you don't pick something that is already a trademark. Second point, it should be memorable, and ideally - the .com should be available (even consider the .com resale market for a generic name if you have the funds) Bes

    They are both great choices. Basically, it doesn't matter. If you already know Python - maybe Django would be better. Also, Django has geo-django, if you think you might be geo-coding things - this is great, and built right in. I expect tha

    I like the idea... If reddit, news.yc etc has shown one thing, it's that conversation on the web is evolving. I think your idea has legs.

    I can't use a mouse for more than a few minutes, but I use a trackball all day long. Kensington Expert Mouse does it for me.

    Behind the scenes, each TLD (like .com or .net) has an authoritative top level DNS controller. In the case of .com and .net, that is Verisign. Any registrar you use (network solutions, godaddy, namecheap) are effectively reselling domain re

    One part of Agile that may help here is continual incremental delivery. If you can deliver new functionality to your client each week, a little each time, then they should be happy to see progress, and each week you could re-evaluate how ma

    +1 for sphinx. It's fast and memory efficient, an in my experience rock solid. Comes with excellent python bindings, and if your python is django, there is also a really nice django-sphinx project on google code. Solr is also good, but it d

    Also have a look at DansGuardian http://dansguardian.org/ . Blacklist files are available here: http://urlblacklist.com/ I'm not sure what you are looking for in terms of safe for work data; maybe technorati tags?

    Round robin DNS is fine if you don't have any sticky session requirements. There simply is no way to guarantee that a user will remain on one host for the duration of a session, if you use round-robin DNS (or even semi-deterministic DNS lik

    A great option is to look at expiring names for domains being dropped because domainers couldn't monetize them. A good tool is this, look at the tdnam expiring list: http://www.freshdrop.net/expiring_names.php Just filter out everything e

    Unless you're already a Python whizz, "Python Essential Reference" is a must. I found poking around inside Satchmo incredibly helpful for finding quality code examples. ( http://www.satchmoproject.com/ ). Other than that, just do the tutori

    As an aside here, I watched startup school on justin.tv (all of it) here in Australia on the Monday morning. Greg McAdoo's talk was excellent and included a few words on the elevator pitch; only I missed something. At one point he used Cisc
