It's more a matter of learning how you can use them in various ways, and also of really getting into the habit of thinking with deferreds. I've been using them for about 7 years (m…

Great :-)

Hi phlux - Thanks. We'll get there soon, I hope. Thanks a lot for persisting & I'm glad you think it's cool :-) Terry

Hi Jayzee I agree, our website is very poor. We're planning to improve it over the next week. There are quite a few hands-on programming examples and videos on our blog, at http://…

Get a lawyer. Go check out the list of suggested good start-up lawyers on http://venturehacks.com You do NOT want to sell without a negotiated contract for your (all of you) ongoin…

ntoll is a legend. just wrote himself into the boingboing history books :-)

Hi. I don't really know the best way to do this, though I have thought about it over the years. I think things like Google Gears will be a big help with this sort of thing. But it …

Yes, that's right. The control is centralized, but the storage and the computation are fully distributed. We spent a long time working on what we think will be a scalable architect…

Hi Peter - you're right, it could have been a lot better. The link on the right (Docs: fluidDB) is probably the best place for you to start http://doc.fluidinfo.com/fluidDB/ Terry

Hey MaysonL! Thanks for the kind thought :-)

Hi Paul I'm surprised you didn't tie this in to due diligence checks done by VCs, and its impact on startups, etc. The parallels are strong, and you've commented on that impact bef…

Another telling sign: in the late 90s when trying to raise money for a startup you had to have an answer to the M question. These days you need an answer to the G question. No-one …
