Great for Carbon. The situation for hardware design firms (right now, and often) is brutal - the degree of difficulty to consistently book enough new work to keep your talented tea…

I think it's saying that Douglas Rushkoff is an author, not the author of this particular app. Since they're all fabrications anyway, though, it doesn't much matter.

Seeing dhouston reappear in the Mailbox thread, I found the original thread where he announced Dropbox. Fun to revisit the original thread some time ago.

It's not discharging because it's plugged into 120V. It's discharging faster from the cold than the 120V is charging, so there's a net loss.

Bug #1 in the Xbox database: Playstation is not dead yet.

I'm thinking of programs like Stripe CTF - things companies have done to really drive interest, from the old Google billboards with hard-to-solve math questions (and I vaguely reme…

I can confirm this: you can basically count the number of contract engineers in the US on your fingers and toes.

Rand, I thought one of the providers (Hitwise or Comscore) started to separate out internal v. external links. Perhaps those were just pure links, like when a link at MSN.com went …

Having gone through acquisitions myself, I've learned that BigCo tax issues are entirely different than YourCo tax issues - i.e. they're going to think about taxes (cap gains, oper…

Look more closely. He was hired _after_ the Digg 4 launch - likely was agreeing to a contract during the debacle, but certainly arrived afterwards.

Same story here. I liked Assembla but moved away, which was costly, and I'm not going to move back now.

You certainly can't run it in conjunction - i.e. gmail in one tab and google apps in the other - it only handles one acct (unlike Rapportive). I didn't try just a google apps accou…

+1 - I'm always looking for a better simple solution for multiple domains, but I won't sign up until I know what I'm getting.

Maybe change the link that says "go back to home" to say "add another monitor" or "manage your monitors" something similar - since that's really the only action you can do anyway.

I'm with you. I think the simplest solution is best here. I do expect you'll run into scenarios where last-checked-time will be data you'll want anyway...

great feature and thanks for adding it so fast. One little note: there's nothing in the user experience that tells me if you tie all of the monitors to the email address (i.e. is e…

One other suggestion - One problem with these sorts of services is that when they're working, nothing happens, so if I don't get mails for a week, I don't know if that's because ev…

That's totally reasonable. You might offer two emails for an outage, one to their email and one for SMS.

This looks great - perfect for the site that doesn't need 1-minute monitoring. Montastic has been ok for this purpose but I'm happy to try something else. My feature request - 140-…

A much more usable (and accurate) map at http://www.idemc.org/ .

I'm the guy on the other side of the table: I'm the VP of Engineering who gets brought in. The circumstances are always the same - the CEO/COO/BoD doesn't believe that the CTO is t…

All of those are true. The lack of powerpoint at Amazon is not a myth - docs are the order of the day. This is more good than bad, but has some of both.
