Fortunately, nginx's server-side includes are (or at least appear to be, on a production website) quick, robust and very easy to learn. I was facing exactly this problem on a static HTML website a few months ago, and was pleased to dis

"You can, and should, make the strategic decision that you'll primarily write things which retain their value." I'm a huge fan of Patrick's, but I couldn't disagree more on this point. Choosing to write prima

I routinely check the publication dates of books where technical information will have changed, and recently got quite irritated when Amazon mistakenly directed me to the First Edition (2007) rather than the Second Edition (2012) of a refer

As I said elsewhere in the thread, I believe that Nuke is a more than capable After Effects replacement - although it's a LOT more expensive. I wouldn't agree with Premiere being particularly well matched by anything else - what a

From experience, I'd say that good quality exercise is almost always a net time-gain over no exercise. The increased energy pays itself back. Have you looked into High Intensity Training? That allows you to pack solid, proven exercise

The problem is that networks ALSO include interstitial ads. From practical experience as an advertising buyer, I'd expect the CPM for those ads to be considerably higher than for the in-stream ads. Indeed, you'll see that most of

Wow! I didn't even realise it was still possible to buy Adobe products the old-school way. This is extremely good news.

The immediate thing that this particular sophisticated user misses is the ability to not have to buy a Mac to run it :) Looks like great software, but there's no Windows version I can see.

There's already an excellent alternative to After Effects - Nuke. http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/nuke-product-family/nuk... Unfortunately, it's a wee bit more expensive . But I wonder if we'l

How do you plan to make offering DRM-free content compatible with overlay ads? Are you suggesting having the ads actually baked into the video stream?

It looks to be a decently well-designed study, albeit one that didn't have a huge sample size. And the language in the article isn't excessively strong or dismissive, as they often are. Personally I'm currently not eating glu

Saved to my ad copy swipe file :) Seriously, that is a truly excellent PPC ad. I'm assuming it's the result of considerable split-testing.

Yes, I do - I use WP Engine for hosting all my wordpress sites. It's turned out to be an excellent business decision, saving me a significant amount of money. I wrote a blog post about the whole thing a while ago, actually, talking mor

That's advice that is useful in some circumstances and very dangerous in others. People DO underestimate their own abilities, and it can be very damaging to their careers and lives. For example, I have a friend who genuinely has world-

What's the niche? It's more work, but you can generate similar levels of income - or sometimes more - using affiliate programs from sites like Commission Junction, ShareASale, and Clickbank. You'll need to test and optimise,

Speaking as a semi-programmer and serial entrepreneur rather than a full-fledged programming ninja, I'd agree. Ruby on Rails is sexy as hell, Node + Javascript is very nice, but for practical, workmanlike, somewhat-ugly-but-does-the-jo

Scalability: also, buy a very large pot and a very sharp knife. Invest some time - a few hours - in learning good knife techniques.

Wow, $400 is expensive for a water bath these days? My Clifton dual bath cost nearly $1500 when I got it 5-6 years ago. I love that this stuff is becoming more mainstream.

Definitely true, but could those visitors generate more value for you as direct subscribers than as eyeballs? If they're even moderately likely to subscribe, I'd expect the answer to be "yes". Of course, there's no
