Re: Ways to monetize your startup + a business meta-idea

Good post. I think the concepts also apply to people looking at Freemium pricing models.

At http://www.kickofflabs.com we don't just look at our free plan as a way to grow - we look at all the ways that growth adds more value to our paid plans. :)

Re: Gauging maturity — telling the boys from the men

adult to child: "your idea is stupid"
It would be immature of the child to treat the adult as a peer and ask "really? Why do you think so?" A more mature response would be something along the lines of "well, I guess your right...but could you point out where I'm wrong"

Re: A change in direction: Python, Django, and Google App Engine

Thanks for the tip of focusing on django first GAE second:)

is see it is quite an old post but two things for up the moment about GAE:
1 - recently google started tweaking pricing and thus messing with peoples plan/model of scale per price

2 - python is not only native to jango but GAE itself, that is it is made in distributed sandbox execution of python scripts. at that moment pyhon (although cheaper than Java) doesn't come with support for threads. something Java devs can certainly enjoy!

Hey,

Thanks for the help. Your solution didn't work for me but it led me in the right direction. I had to use "yum install python-devel" instead.

Awesome insights Jay. Glad to see how much you learned in just 48 hours. It's the amazing phenomenon that's keeping our head down in figuring out how to scale this event up and bring it to the masses.

This sounds like a lovely idea - especially keeping up with my interest in semantics and linguistics. I would give this a shot if I had time. A little bit of contextualisation would be enough for an article given the abundance of SEO in most blogs. It's on my to-do list !

I think being hard on yourself just motivates you even more, and can also lead to more pleasing performances such as at work

The loop in the touch events is to draw the image for each of the finger touching the screen.

event.touches.length is the number of fingers simultaneously touching the screen

Re: Half-baked idea of the day: Exchanging contact information [update 2]

Jay Liew — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 13:01:24 -0000

Hey Gavin, thanks for chiming in. I do some of what you said (as can be seen
from my main personal page) - but there are sometimes information more
private that I don't want just *everybody* to know. For instance - I do not
list my personal mobile, or my residential address. That, I only give out
selectively to people I feel comfortable to.

How do you address that? Or is that not a problem for you?

Re: Half-baked idea of the day: Exchanging contact information [update 2]

gavinengel — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 12:21:51 -0000

I have a webpage that has all my contact info (phone, fax, home address, mailling address, work info, etc). I tell people to go there to see the latest and greatest info for me. I think that solution is much better than a phone app, which accepts and stores stale info.

Re: My dev box reloaded! Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS

Jay Liew — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 20:04:08 -0000

that's one feature, but the better feature is that I can have an SSH session that "never dies".

e.g. I SSH from my Windows desktop to my Ubuntu box via PuTTY, then start a Screen session with an SSH session to the Ubuntu box itself. I can turn off my Windows desktop (the Screen session is still running on the Ubuntu server), .. and from a different conference room, I can SSH back to the Ubuntu server and reconnect to the same SSH session.

An excellent use case for this is if you're doing something messy where you want to be able to scroll up the SSH window. IRC is a perfect example. I chat from one computer, then from a different location on a different computer, I can connect back to the same session and not lose a single thing anyone said.

I hope that makes sense.

I posted it on the SD Hacker News meetup group http://bit.ly/sdhackernews I thought of mentioning it on the SD Django mailing list too, but as I was new on the list, I was worried that it might come across as spam :/ We'll let you know of the next SHDH. If you're interested, you should join us for the monthly SDHN meetup - I think you'll like it! (and we need more to represent Django ;)
