Whoopee. Wake me up when you an interesting story to report.

Shit happens. Even Google has outages (Gmail, anyone?). Life goes on.

It's even cheaper if you build your servers yourself and colocate them at a datacenter. Of course, not every company has a sysadmin, but if you do, you will save a bundle. This also means supporting them yourself, though, which at times can

Meh, I don't see the problem with "div soup". The only thing I agree with that's mentioned in the article is that at least you could tell where a specific tag started and ended. But whenever I nest div's more than a few levels deep, I alway

That's a good point. I learned all my web development skills by looking at other people's code. If they were using tags that weren't actually "real" HTML tags, but just ones they made up and defined with CSS, it would have been a hell of a

Academics is the least important thing to me. It's like having an "A+" certification - it doesn't mean a damn thing in terms of how smart you are or what you are truly capable of.

What, do you work for Duracell or something? :P

Paul, he's not traveling in the normal sense of the word. If he was visiting 43 cities in, say, 90 days, he would actualyl get to experience each city for at least 1 full day/night. And yeah, that would be cool. But what he's doing here is

This was a great read. I guess I have underestimated the intelligence of bears!

This article is garbage. Delicious is not Digg and it's not Reddit and if you're only using it to boost traffic to your site - you have no fucking clue what this service is actually about.

They don't care if you stay as long as you want because you have to PAY for the freaking wifi. Duh. Most coffee shops give you free wifi so yes it is kind of abusive to buy a $1.50 coffee and stay for hours. However, if you have to pay for

I don't understand what they mean by "the next best one" after having discarded X number of candidates. "Best" relative to what?

Eugene is fully of hippies and it drives a man insane. It's a huge stereotype but it's absolutely true. I grew up there and lived there for 18 years. My parents still live there. Everytime I visit all I see are damn hippies everywhere. I ca

Eh? The beach is only an hour away. I don't know what you mean about the water...

LOL, well I wouldn't call that a "reason", but yeah, it's white as fuck here. I have no idea why, but that's the way it is.

You won't find any analytics service that gives you numbers anywhere close to server logs. This is because log analyzers include all search engine / robot / spambot activity. All hosted analytics (e.g. ones that use javascript and don't hav

Good stuff. I found the bit about how he was a "huge fan" of NIN's downward spiral interesting, since a few lines above it said he refused to curse. Someone who's against cursing doesn't seem like they could like a NIN record. He must have

This article is the biggest load of fucking bullshit I've ever read. That's all I'm going to say about it. The author couldn't tell his ass from a hole in the ground.

by schammy 17y ago
Exactly what I was going to say. Very likely, the IP of this guy's server is the same IP that an old spamming server used to have. It's happened to me more than once, and that's very likely the case here.

I dont think it's a big problem :) Justin.tv is certainly amongst the top 1% of sites in the world, in terms of traffic. If you have a site that has more than 5,000 simultaneous users, you are a very very large site. There are very few sit

Unlike Google, we are a small company and don't have millions to throw at hosting data centers all around the world on insanely fast connections. So it is very understandable that our code loads a bit slower. It is certainly a high priorty

Thanks. If you compare us to any other analytics servic that charges money, I think you will find our prices for the amount of page views you can track are amongst the very lowest in the business. In fact, as far as I know, we are the lowes

You basically have four real options for real time analytics, and they all either cost money, or are in beta and soon will cost money. 1. Chartbeat. $10/month. Pretty slick, honestly, especially if you only care about "right now". 2. Woopra

And how many sites would that ever apply to? Like, 10 total sites?

To us, the fundamental problem with micropayments is that they're a pain in the ass. Your flow is interrupted every time you have to authorize a 5 cent charge to view a piece of content. This doesn't work, never will. Contenture's system is

Yes, we have a backend API for people concerned about this. The tracking code that you copy/paste also contains inline javascript directly on the site that detects if the tracking code has been blocked, so sites can program in logic for tha

We've got access to the people who run the 100,000 web sites being monitored by getclicky.com (same team). We shouldn't have a problem there.

FYI, Contenture is about a lot more than ads. It's also the dead simplest way to create premium features for your site with very very little work.

Heh, too funny. I was thinking the same thing - nice design.
