This is one of the better "first look" overviews that I've found for the various Python GUI toolkits: http://www.ginstrom.com/scribbles/2008/02/26/python-gui-prog...

I sent it as plain text to "new@adamsnames.tc". Subject was "New Registration". Then I just pasted in this entire form: http://adamsnames.tc/register/short.txt Here's a modified example taken from a real one I submitted that got a respon

I've said this a lot, but I can't recommend Code Igniter enough when working with PHP. Quite fast, almost feels like an entirely different "real" language with so much library support from the framework. Even when I work with Django (being

No, I've never used any of the resellers other than NetSol (which supports .vg at a good price, even though I don't like them otherwise). As far as I know, you can only buy the two-letter domains using the email form on the adamsnames.tc si

This is just a little handy script I used to find some domains. This came up in another topic so I thought I'd share the code. Normally you can't buy two-letter domain names from any registrar, but adamsnames allows it. To be nice, the code

Heh, we made http://ri.ms as our (memorable) URL shrinker that lets you choose your own URL if you want. We hope to expose some of the other cool features we have in there, but there are a lot of these shorteners out there so there's not

Do you feel the same about donating to a free software project? Donating to a cool software service? Donating to NPR? The point is that we're not necessarily talking about "tips" in the sense of "additional personal gratuity on top of an ex

The look and feel of the front page looks a little too close to newyorktimes.com for me. Personal preference: I wish it used a different font. :( I'll play a bit more and see what other feedback I have as I know this isn't exactly the most

That's awesome. I didn't know clicky existed. I really like your features as listed and shown in the demo. They're almost a match for the things Woopra is showing off in their current beta. Your prices sound awesome, so we may give you a sh

I'm leaning more towards live+historical analytic tools like Woopra and to some extent clicktale. These have absolutely changed the way we look at our web visitors. Now hosting feels a bit like being a BBS sysop, especially on our medium-

plurk looks cool, but the domain name reminds me of "lurking". Maybe that's intentional.

It does depend what you mean by the overloaded "web services" term. If you just mean in the sense of a generic API (restful or otherwise), then for c) I'd include defensio, and then I use all the API from bug.gd and featurelist.org (because

I know this has been downmodded, but if you wanted a trick to go straight to voicemail for this "app": http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9915518-2.html And it just has a pre-roll ad or something.

Well, I didn't actually mean it in that sense. When MySpace was getting its umpteenth million user, the site layout, fonts, styles, etc, was all amateurish and nowhere near "great". It didn't have any elegance at all anywhere. Nowadays they

You already agreed to this via verbal contract to the $400 maximum. I'm not sure where some of the other guys can say you should do anything. Unless you stated you would keep on working for free after the $400 (which I think probably would

It's been hard. We have some solid .com alternatives for our service, but we did decide to go with the less traditional style with http://bug.gd as our service. So far it doesn't seem to hurt our traffic too much and helps us stand out a

It didn't seem to do anything useful when it tried to add additional email addresses from outside sources. Nothing ever imported and for some it didn't ask passwords or anything. Just didn't immediately understand what would happen next, so

We reviewed both Cake and CI and when it came down to it, CI won us over with one of the best user guides for any language framework (PHP or otherwise). I haven't seen what Cake is doing lately, but I have nothing but good things to say abo
