time to boycott apress, and use dollars to vote for other well behaving publishers. Big companies are known to write contracts that favor themselves, rather than the little guy.
Cool, but this looks like THEY are in charge of the servers. If this is true, no thank you. I'd like to set up and control my own servers and be responsible for my own object's privacy.
Facebook is invading people's privacy
Twine is [trying] to invade people's objects' privacy.
Nice try but no thanks! What happens if a hacker gets in and notices a filter like:
When [person] leaves home, decrease heating thermostat down to 65F degrees
If this action is triggered, the crooks will know which homes are vacant or occupied.
I'm not sure if BCC is sustainable, look what happened to the shareware solitaire guy 5-10 years ago who claimed to earned a ton. Now with 10s/100s of clones out, where is he now?
Lets make a 80s rockstar, WHERE ARE THEY NOW type of MTV program for the internet rockstars... documentary due to be released in 2020
Those who know will not make the change. Even worse, they will actively prevent change from happening. They will milk whatever they are holding on to for as long as they can.
It's those who accidentally stumble upon newly discovered knowledge that will make the change...
Agree, it was a badly composed email... before reading the comments here, I comprehended the email as Slicehost was shutting down and my slice would be killed also.
Quit the corporate talk and just say "Hey! We've decided to pull the plug from SliceHost but rest assured, we will safely migrate your slices to RackSpace."
Put that in the first line of the email then followup with whatever else you want to say about the migration!
Ever since it's been blocked, who's interested in creating a Chinese version of dropbox within the GFW? Let's get together and create dropbox.cn or for legal reasons, cndropbox.com ^^
My strategy from now on is to to mirror the SSD to a traditional HDD. That way, in the case of a SSD failure, we can accept the performance hit and still be able to run smoothly from the platter.
Correction: Make that 15 hours per month, equivalent to approx. 4 hours per week.
I have no special formula, I was just fully prepared with all the right skills at the right place at the right time and worked my ass off.
Actually, I'm more worried about not having a backup 2nd income.
I'm not sure if I should continue in the web startup / IT world. Seems like everyone is getting into this bandwagon, maybe it's time to jump off this wagon and try something entirely new...
No, what I developed for 5 years is non-transferable to other industries/niches. If I were to go into other industries/niches, I would have to start from zero again. What I stumbled upon is a niche within a niche. And the core tech is useless outside of the 1st niche. (if that makes any sense)
Thanks. Actually, another option I'm leaning towards is to temporarily get out of the computer biz all together and try something entireley new. The only way to find new technological discoveries is to go out in the real world again and see what kind of real world problems exist. The same way how biologists need to go out into nature to find new species and learn from interesting animal behaviors.
For example, if I were to apply to become a pizza delivery man, I'll find ways to simplify and optimize the traditional delivery process. Then when I open my own pizza store, I'll have the most efficient pizza delivery system, maybe this will be the killer service that will bring down Dominos and Pizza Hut.
So if you see a pizza delivery dude next time, maybe it'll be me... ;-)
