I don't care if it's the kernel or whatever else. I just know that the dang thing blew up on me twice. So you go and think about kernels and stuff - and have fun with EBS - I'm not…

Yes, but the problems seem to have to do with XFS and EBS.

Was using XFS on Ubuntu...

I stopped using EBS after the EC2 instance just stopped responding - twice - each time after a few weeks. I was using an EBS volume for MySQL data storage. I am not satisfied that …

Whatever you do, be careful. You can catch some nasty viruses looking for free fonts if you're not careful.

Build something. Then listen really hard to what people say. Don't take it personally - just make it so it works for people. And Iterate!

I just love the idea!! But the site is confusing. Kill the splash page. Put a call to action - nobody will know that you're actually selling something - it looks more like a fun li…

I think it's not so much a question of whether you need management or not- it more about assessing the core competencies of the founders and then determining what's missing. And al…

I would think that people should be able to handle the truth (either way) - painful as it may be. I mean if the Internet stands for one thing, it's transparency. Hiding stuff is no…

seems like this "ghandi ... does it matter?" thing is getting a little out of hand here today....

It might - if anything it'll help you get through the long hard slog to the pot of gold - if there is one at all.

From my experience I would suggest learning html/css coding but finding a creative person to do the actual design (colors, logo, white space, typography etc etc). I really doubt th…

yep - good 'ol subscriptions at http://uploadthingy.com - just started 2 new thingys too....

exactly.

I like it - not sure if I'd use it, I get too many links through feeds and regular twitter use... but the biggest problem for me is that I hate putting my password into 3rd party a…

Hm yeah. I hear you. Now I feel bad about suggesting an ulterior motive with the rss links - it's just it really strikes a nerve when I see that. Good luck hacking around - and goo…

Start with Hello World and try stuff: http://www.javacoffeebreak.com/java101/java101.html

Hey - you forgot Adwords. Not only to get clicks, but it'll also get you to thinking about your vertical. You can't come up with good keywords unless you know who you're targeting.…

Wouldn't it depend heavily on what your site is about? B2B or B2C? Is revenue ad or subscription driven? Is the site even supposed to make money? Or just build cred? Have you figur…

Just subscribed. Looks like there's some cool stuff coming through. But what really bugs me is that the links in the feed go to undrln.com and not directly to the site that the lin…

Goof off for a while. Then do it again. Because goofing off is only fun for a while.

hey - thanks for all the tips - although it's always easier said than done. Weird how writing code always seems to be the real work - and all this other stuff just - well... you kn…

Good question. I sent emails on http://uploadthingy.com to about 20 blogs that I thought would be interested a while back - what happened? Nothing. Nada. The service is now profita…

Yep. It's nuts. The only thing I write by hand is to-dos into my small notebook. And it really sucks when I can't figure out what I have to do because I can't read what I wrote.
