it actually supports k2.6 since 2010. It runs on some of the newest Asus routers, so I wouldn't say those are obsolete. Still, it is kind of a hack.

what about a wifi router running tomatousb ? http://tomatousb.org/

It's amazingly useful to have realtime throughput rates tail -f query.log | pv -tri 1 > /dev/null

I think both are OK. Personally, I like whiteboards to outline solutions. A sheet of paper may serve the same purpose. Once I decided how to solve the problem, vim comes in handy :…

I'd go for ROR, or maybe Sinatra + your favorite ORM. If you don't want to host your own servers, you can grab an ec2 free micro instance, or just go with heroku or cloudfoundry.

Hi, I wrote a bunch of jQuery plugins for IndexTank on https://github.com/flaptor/indextank-jquery/tree/indextankiz... I'm working on instant search right now .. So I'll have it av…

It took me about 3 days to build it. It's my first ruby / heroku app, so I learned a lot. Sinitter ( http://sinitter.moocode.com/ ) saved me a lot of coding, though.

I'm doing something like that on my app. Even requesting 200 tweets per API call, it takes a while to index when you have lots of friends.

I'm fetching your timeline, you friends timelines, and indexing them with IndexTank. It's incremental, so it may take a while. There's a limited number of allowed twitter API calls…

I can choose between a Nexus S or an IPad.

I'm a developer at IndexTank, we are having an internal contest similar to the public one we had with Heroku a few days ago. My entry is an app to search your personal twitter time…

I'd add grooveshark to that mix
