Much credit goes to wensing and Stormpulse for the inspiration. This site uses the Ruby static site generator Middleman and is hosted on Amazon S3. Ruby scripts pull data from (cur…

If you're using name.com's DNS, then they've basically got a wildcard subdomain that points to a spammy domain-parked page. So, say you have valid records for .yourdomain.com and w…

The big difference here though is that the "right to boot you" only applies to the cellular data. If you stay on wifi all the time, it really is unlimited (or at least that is what…

I have a few bots of my own that do weather based alerts (by state). They don't @reply anyone; they just do normal tweets. What's so frustrating for me is how often I get slapped f…

For those interested, KFOR in Oklahoma City is streaming live coverage of this tornado outbreak on their site: http://www.kfor.com/news/livestreaming/

Thanks! I've just fixed the broken links - the image links are based on the valid start time that the SPC puts on the outlook, which is supposed to be 20:00 (UTC) for this outlook,…

A common theme with the recent tornado tragedies has been to say that people had no warning. For people who rely solely on civil defense sirens for their weather information, this …

You might try Tumblr for audience building. The caveats to this advice are that this worked for me a couple of years ago (so I'm not sure if the same community exists there now) an…

Tech details for those interested: It's built on top of OpenLayers with Google Maps and OpenStreetMap as base layers. It was written in CoffeeScript. Jekyll was used to provide a l…

I'm a former customer of name.com. I'm not sure if they're still doing it, but the thing that drove me away was their spammy DNS. Example: I had valid DNS records for mydomain.com …

Sounds like you're talking about Liam Ashley but have some of the facts twisted: * it wasn't recent (2006) * he was sent to prison because his parents denied bail, not because GTA …

Since it sounds like you haven't yet started coding, I would argue that the most important question to ask yourself is which framework makes you most excited about jumping in and c…

Though I'd assume that most of your bandwidth is getting eaten up by the images, you might consider any/all of the following: * minify HTML output * minify your CSS files * use the…

I setup a so-called naked domain and pointed it at an Amazon S3 CNAME just fine. I believe the big downside is that I'll never be able to use email on that domain because of the CN…

I do something similar with wildcard forwarding, only instead of filtering those emails, I full out block an alias when I start getting spam there. Though I must say that I've been…
