I wrote a piece exploring 37Signals' move off cloud. I tried to understand what it might mean for a company who wanted to do so.

Thanks! I'm glad someone read the T&Cs after all the effort I put into them. :)

Thanks for all the questions. It has really gotten me to thinking about how to navigate the future of the project. I have a question for all of you. My approach is that we are all …

Agreed. I've played with IPFS before. Very interesting, definitely something to consider for the future of Haasie.

Your question honestly got me thinking. If everything goes completely sideways there are a number of shuttering options I can think of. One is to turn off any new uploads, and just…

Hi, your site came up in my research. Although it wasn't clear if it was an actual service or an art project? Keen to hear more about your experiences.

Fair question. I did read the TOCs, and studied the current TOCs of Imgur as well as my hosting company to make sure Haasie's covered the most important aspects. Imgur atm still al…

I certainly wouldn't suggest this method in place of a proper deployment strategy for serious development. There are problems with this method, but, for a hobbyist who hand codes a…

Have a look at Docker ( http://www.docker.com/ ), I was introduced to it recently and it looks like a powerful yet simple alternative to Chef or Puppet.

A commenter on my blog post suggested Syncthing ( http://syncthing.net/ ) as an alternative.

Will give this a go next time. I have been using Lucidchart http://www.lucidchart.com/ which is one of the better diagramming tools I've tried.

This is what makes me question the colour blind theory. Although they are very strong in places, the colours all work together. If he was colour blind surely there would be patches…

I've been using PassPack for a few years. It allows you to generate random passwords with your choice of # of characters and type. My default setting is 14 chars of a-z, A-Z, 0-9 a…
