I'm not sure of a tool to automate testing of ads. It's more of a gut feeling / experience in creating the ads than it is creating an endless number of combinations. Goal completion is influenced by both the ad and the landing page. I've

If you create multiple ads, Adwords will rotate the ads. You can choose which ad is most effective based on click thru % or even better conversion rate if you have conversion tracking setup. Also, make sure you set "Ad rotation" to "Rotate

As someone who used to develop in ASP.Net and still maintains a lot of ASP.Net code, it's nice to see some progress being made. Clean URLs are certainly a good thing. However, touting the Page.MetaKeywords is so last year since it's no lon

TextMate is one of only a very few applications for which I'd actually tell someone to buy a Mac (CSSEdit and Coda being 2 more). It's such an essential tool for so many developers - I'm in it each day for my rails apps - that I can't imagi

It doesn't make it useless as all of my site is static except the contact form. To utilize another option just for a few lines of code in a contact form didn't seem practical to me. I'm sure open to suggestions though. Thanks for the tip o

Just create them locally on your computer and use rsync or ftp to send them to your web host. With static HTML, you don't need any databases and it doesn't matter what type of server or operating system your host is running.

Let's also not forget StaticMatic http://www.staticmatic.net/ . It has great support for HAML and SASS. A helpful tip with for all of these static generators - if you need PHP or other code, just put it in the static HTML and have your de

I use a Rakefile with a deploy task that uses rsync to send the HTML to our server and s3sync to send our images to Amazon Cloudfront.

There is a real need for people who can bridge the gap between programmers and non-programmers (end users, clients, supervisors, co-workers). After graduating with my information systems degree 10 years ago, I started a small software compa

I recently began working with Ruby on Rails after years in ASP.Net and I still have to refer to the API, Guides, and documentation so I consider myself an amateur. I'm having to get used to programming "better" since I no longer have the

We dumped DirecTV last spring and haven't looked back. The $80/month ended up costing us $2-$3/hour watched and we still had to sit through commercials or fast forward. We watch most of our tv through Hulu and buy the rest through iTunes.

As other articles have pointed out, this is interesting timing with Hulu's recent announcement of possibly charging for content ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=897853 ).

How about adding a Mac Mall (or similar) affiliate link for iPod cases, sleeves, FM transmitters, even those big ugly clocks that you can "dock" your iPod to.

Good question and I asked myself the same when I wrote my original response. It's difficult to get a truthful answer of what someone would pay unless they are actually paying but I'll try. My DirecTV was ~$75/month with taxes which cost me

Good - I hope that means they will stay around and continue to grow. I certainly don't mind paying a modest monthly fee for quality programming on demand. It couldn't be near as much as DirecTV was charging me before I switched to Hulu.

I definitely agree with the 2 week challenge. I developed in ASP.Net on Windows for years but got tired of having to code in Windows and do everything else in OSX. I picked up a copy of Agile Web Development with Rails and gave myself a "2

A lot of the large domain owners use Moniker or Fabulous for their domains. They both have good prices and good support. Plus they don't lead you through a mine field of extras just to buy a domain. I personally have had good luck with Mo
