Unfortunately you'll only be able to use Tempo until June 30th. They've been acquired by Salesforce and are discontinuing Tempo (at least in its current form…)
So who's an alternative service provider now that WifiSLAM is effectively offline? An interesting thing about WifiSLAM is that they seemed to offer access to location of devices from the access point's perspective. This allowed for an external service to do Interesting Things without requiring an app to be running on any particular device. Any one know of a service that also does that?
No. "n" would trigger autocomplete (for "news.yco...") from Chrome's history and since everyone spends hours per day "being busy" here, it would pop up first.
Nowhere was this implied. The article says that Rails makes excellent RESTful APIs. Of course your API should do validations, access control, etc. But, Rails doesn't have to do (much) of the HTML given client-side MVC/MVVM libraries like Backbone and KnockoutJS.
Leave the rendering of the app to the client. Leave the ins and outs of the data to the API (driven by Rails, Node/Express/Railway, Django, what-have-you).
That's definitely applicable to mobile and web apps.
Also, the docs at Google are confusing too. They make a distinction between sending limits for Google Apps (500/account/day) and Google Apps for Business (3000/account/day). I've used Google Apps (for Business?) for several years and don't know the distinction between the two.
And it's been that way for at least three years (I had written some code in 2008 to use multiple Apps accounts to send notifications for a web app in round-robin fashion)
Off-main-topic, but I tried visiting your site (on my mobile) and was presented with only a login form. What was your purpose in linking to it? I was curious about the tool but will not likely return (if I even remember it later). A reminder (to myself mostly): You usually get one chance; make it count.
It sounds like "find the story of someone who personifies what you want to accomplish, figure out how they accomplished what they did, then base your process on their approach" is just one more roadblock to progress you can use to divert yourself and continue procrastinating. It's another "I simply MUST do this before I do the thing I want to do."
It makes sense in my brain (evolutionary procrastination, etc), but it would certainly keep me from getting things done.
drchrono should hook up with Seattle design firm Artefact. They just won an award for design work for Seattle Children's Hospital creating a tablet interface for medical charts. More info at http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/the_future_of_hospital_...
I certainly identified with the spirit of the article and know that people are willing to pay money for legal access to digital content when it's easy and has the stuff people want. I'm one of them.
Since I signed up for Rhapsody about a year ago, my downloading of music illegally has plummeted. I trade the small amount of Downloader's Guilt for $10/mo and have access to (almost) everything I want to listen to. (And from wherever I want to listen to it: my computer, my phone, my home stereo.)
Before Rhapsody, I was downloading gigabytes of albums – I hadn't bought a CD in the new millenium (save those from smaller bands I wanted to personally supported). Now the music industry has me as a customer again, and monthly. Hollywood needs a Rhapsody to survive.
For those initially confused by their link to the personal finance service named Mint, I believe their intention was to link to the web analytics service also named Mint at http://haveamint.com
