Do you really find it that difficult or time consuming to type in your credit card number and billing address? The average time from clicking checkout to finishing paying for the last 5 or so pieces of software I've bought has been less tha

True, but it would give me a better explanation for owning a large cardboard pirate ship than I currently have.

I have no problem paying for software if there isn't a high quality piece of open source software immediately available. I would rather pay $100 for a piece of software with great documentation and quick setup then spend a day trying to fig

Sounds like a great idea. If you want any help with developing it let me know. As far as FounderLink itself is concerned my feeling is that it is still very early days and there is a lot more that needs to be done before it is truly useful

I had a Thinkpad X series before I got my MBP and I loved it. It was light but powerful enough and installing Linux was a breeze. That said given the choice I'd stick with my MBP and just tripleboot(already have vista installed for testing

Disclaimer: I use Rails daily, and have no hard feelings for DHH or 37Signals. That out of the way, you are still saying that Google took the functionality and design from Campfire. Where as what I am saying is that Google took the functio

I think stating an average grown is a very difficult thing to do but probably slightly above 1%. Thats taking into account the few sites that blow up huge quickly, the other sites that gradually grow and the vast vast majority that never gr

You seem to be missing the point though that campfire is very far from original. To say google ripped them off is to imply the developed the basic chat interface themselves which is wrong. Google developed a basic web chat, the likes of wh

Could you explain how it is more?

Having looked at campfire it looks like just about every other webchat system I have ever used going back to 2000. What is it exactly about the design that sets them apart? All the elements are the exact same from what I can see.

I just started using git at the end of last week and after the initial bit of "Well it doesn't work like svn it's a pain" cursing I'm finally starting to get the hang of it. More tips like this are greatly appreciated as I am still very mu

Thanks for the tip. Which OS are you using if you don't mind me asking? I do all my development in Firefox(latest stable release) in Leopard. I agree with the login part and I am working on a demo/walkthrough for new users as part of an ov

Thank you for the links. I agree that there is very little reason for people to keep going back once they have found a business partner which is why I'm keeping this firmly in the side project area. I think the biggest issue is that unlike

Refactor AS you continue ahead when you notice specifically bad code/design issues. Also if you find performance issues when profiling. Don't let refactoring be your primary task, keep it on a secondary track but running along side your p

I've used grinder with amazon ec2 to load test one of our sites before. It worked really well once I sorted out some issues with the clients communicating with my console but it made it very easy to keep adding machines until the load/spee
