From the synopsis page, it almost sounds like the River Tethys in the Hyperion Cantos: farcaster portals that join segments in disparate worlds into a single, unbroken, flowing river.
Yep, it's good. It starts off with a really cool description of the process by which a synthetic mind is created from scratch and thrown into a community of other minds (both synthetic and post-human uploaded consciousnesses). The rest of it was good too, but that was a memorable moment for me.
Looks great, and as the other commenter mentioned, solves a problem I've had on previous teams. I actually like the layout and the graphics on your landing page. If you're comfortable sharing, I would be interested to know how you procured or produced the art.
Full stack developer with experience leading development and operations teams. Open to either more Python-based work or a stack change altogether! Prefer to work remotely if not in Madison, but will consider relocating for the right position.
I'm looking for a challenge with a smaller, faster, leaner company. I currently work for a large Fortune 500 and would like a change of pace. GIS, Education, ISP (Internet Service Provider) tech are all comfortable areas of interest for me, but I am definitely open to trying out other industries/verticals.
Currently reside in Madison, WI but may move if it doesn't warm up soon.
I plan to, if there is interest. It's easy in that the solution is straightforward and there are few difficult technical problems to solve. It will, however, require a substantial time commitment to build, which is why I'd like to gauge the market first.
I asked a similar question a few months ago and got mostly the same answers as you. Most people here seem content dealing with the lack of cool Gmail interface stuff and opt to host their own. Someone needs to build a slick gmaily interface that can be plopped on a web server to use your self-hosted email. Bonus points for adding an XMPP chat client so you can use GTalk and see when your contacts are online. If nothing else, web hosting providers would buy this from you to offer their customers.
I guess I'm a little confused on the legal requirements surrounding sales tax for online vendors. If brick and mortar shops are required to, why aren't shops online required to? I understand that technically it's the shopper who owes the tax, but though businesses were required to collect it on their behalf.
In my mind, replication has historically been a pretty big deciding factor in favor of MySQL. PostgreSQL didn't support it natively until version 9.0 (which still isn't part of most Linux distro repositories). You'd have to install Slony or something similar. MySQL made master/slave or master/master replication simple to configure and a breeze to maintain.
Thank you for the concrete suggestion! From the screenshots, Roundcube looks like a very good webmail client. It looks like they're going after Outlook though with their feature set and layout.
[Edit] But this is exactly what I'm looking for in terms of being an installable package that can be thrown on a web server and hooked up to an in-house or third party email infrastructure.
Ok, let's change the context then. What if I run a web hosting company and want to offer an installable package that includes an MTA, MDA and a front end for viewing/sending mail? (I don't run a web hosting company, so I'm sure there are other things that need to go into that mix.) The customer would click a button and we would configure everything on their VPS or whatever. If that's not plausible enough, maybe I'm a web hosting company that just offers to host your email and now I've got enough scale to make it worth investing resources to ensure deliverability and spam filtering. At some point it's got to be worth running your own email infrastructure and for those scenarios, is there an installable front end that has the Gmail special sauce?
i would like to know how you searched for and chose the property. did you spend a lot of time searching for the right neighborhood? was the property in the city where you lived, or did you seek out a city with the economic circumstances to make your investment work? is this something that you will be able to replicate over and over again or was it a sweetheart, once-in-a-lifetime deal?
Does the MVP model work for games in general? It seems if you're submitting to Steam, the App Store, Android Market, etc. you'll either end up denied entry or get buried by the games with a certain level of polish.
Maybe VZW is split testing the rollout with different bundles and settings. My wife has had the same issues as me with her Incredible after the update. Maybe our charger is hosed and we only noticed a difference when looking for changes between versions.
