Not able to view your app - you might want to move the Facebook app from sandbox mode. Otherwise, I do like the idea.

Yeah. The sheer types of code they could run.. So..would such a service be useful? Sign up, choose what static generator you'd like to use(Jekyll, Hyde, Pelican, Octopress), and you have a functional dev console embedded in a web page, with

Yeah, gh-pages has that problem. On a side note, I'd probably end up deploying Jekyll(or whatever I end up using) onto Amazon. On another note - that's unrelated - apart from Github, there's no other platform that supports hosting static si

I like the zealous part :) On a serious note - I'm a tad mercenary too. I like Node, but I'm definitely not zealous about it. I guess it's because Node devs end up really enjoying the fact that they're using a stack that's scalable, and of

I'd say..how about a directory of sorts, for people who've got ideas, and are looking for feedback, or other people to help build it? Just a thought from the top of my head.

I'd agree with you, as it goes. * It's sad, but people hire experts and ignore their opinions all the time.* True, that. I don't really think I'm going to take up this project. I mean, it's all about playing to one's strengths - that is def

Spy Game - starring Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. Guess it's the only spy thriller out there, that talks about the dirtier side of espionage, yet how it's up to the inhabitants of that dark corner, to not sell their souls.

I'd go with you. Just go with PHP for now, and once you feel you've got a good grasp of it, go in for Ruby or Python, as well as Javascript and a functional language like Haskell - Clojure's a great bet too.

You've got a point there. The other thing that just occurred to me - what if they pull the plug, a few years from now? After all, that's what's happening with Google Reader.

Okay. That sounds a little daunting, but hey, not going back now. Actually..I'm not in DC. I'm based out of New Delhi right now. My take is, that the lack of such a consultancy in South Asia and the Middle East would mean, that my thing co

Actually, as it so goes - I do. I majored in history and computer science. I've worked with IBM, on a contract with Amazon, harnessing EMR for analyzing customer sales, in order to figure out prevailing market patterns. Apart from that, I'v

Thanks :) The interesting thing is, that atleast in India and Pakistan, the private sector has never been "allowed" to work on large-scale government contracts. For instance, all think-tanks in New Delhi and Islamabad are government project

From a personal standpoint, no - I'll be working towards building relationships with mandarins. But at first, I would be writing code myself, as well as writing up reports and stuff. Eventually, I'm looking at a scenario where we have coder

Okay. Yes, that sounds about right. About 2 years of consulting gigs, with IBM and Cvent(event-management software) - but I've also worked with a think-tank, so I have a bit of insight into policy analyses and so on.

by rudimk 14y ago
That's the thing - there's no "product" as such. Or, to be more precise, the product is purely consultative, the kind of work that, say, a think-tank does. The use case is, that a governmental agency needs help with analyzing a large datase
