Well, that's not much of a value argument, just a statement of reality that entropy exists and everything becomes crap over time without maintenance. Gardens also grow. But if you don't maintain your garden, they ahem literally

Hey Ray? Is the site dead? Or just hugged to death? :) I have MeatballWiki still. I’d like to pass the torch.

I created MeatballWiki. We ended up helping Wikipedia launch. I am responsible for the barn stars and the [[free link]] syntax. I thought peer to peer social software was my future. I was going to speak at O’Reilly p2pcon September 23, 2001

FreshDesk is pretty solid. Though their live chat is a bit weak. Olark is better (I worked there so I’m biased.) Freshworks has a startup plan as well.

I don’t understand why you would say this. As everyone can plainly read, Section 23 makes education a Charter right in Canada.

If you are curious, Clifford Adams and I originated the double brackets for UseModWiki to support Wikipedia’s initial roll out (on UseModWiki) and their need for “free links” instead of WikiWords. Prior to that I don’t know of any use of th

I woke up this week to dozens of comments on a video from a speaker at SaaS Connect 2017 (previously known as The Small Business Web Summit) to learn she was arrested and charged by the DOJ this week for laundering $4.5 billion in crypto.
