CDBaby.com has switched back to PHP from Rails… but with a catch. Derek silvers says that PHP would do what he wanted just fine with his new-found Rails programming skills. Texas Startup Blog covered this last week.
I read this article on ReadWriteWeb about how Google Apps aren’t ready to be used in the Enterprise, according to Microsoft. It was originally published by Mary Jo Foley over at ZDNet.
Ok, let’s take a look at these claims one by one.
1. Google touts having enterprise level customers

For a long time, I’ve used Safari to post with wordpress. But with my upgrade to 2.2.2 I’m not impressed.
There’s CSS bugs in the admin panel. There’s problems with the editors — code only, becase the visual one doesn’t display. There’s problems with the javascript in the options screens. I had to crack open Firefox just to change the link format.
I know that Wordpress doesn’t claim to support Safari, but fer chrissakes — it’s the third of the big3, and makes up about 5% of the traffic to my site. I’m glad that the themes I’m using at least support Safari.
Seth Godin, who I otherwise regard as damned smart, wrote a blog entry about hiring today that he entitled what are you hiring for?
There’s tjree things that all of those hoops — the ability to write a “clever” cover letter, the desire to come for an interview, the clarity …
I read this morning on read/write/web that (mt) is launching a dedicated server that can be split into several VPSes. This is probably RHEL5 using their Redhat Cluster Suite. (Update: Bad blogger, no cookie — it’s Virtuozzo.)
Not a bad idea, (mt). I’d buy one to host clients on, or to …
Welcome to the dark side of Web 2.0. Facebook spam is becoming more prevalent, and the Facebook team doesn’t seem to be doing anything about it.
In the marketplace, you’ve got offers for MLMs targeted to students. Get rich quick schemes, nigerian schemes, etc. — all of it seems to be …
Ok, I’m an Apple fanboy. I love my new Macbook, I loved my old powerbook. I love my iMac at work. I’d really like it if I could try out an xServe for 45 or 90 days like the Sun promotions run.
But I didn’t buy an iPhone, and since it …
I work at a major university, which means that websites I produce are required to conform to Section 508 standards for accessibility. One of the things we often want to use with campus services are captchas, which are a way of displaying a human-readable (but hopefully not machine-readable) image and …
One of the games that I used to play (heavily) was Jumpgate. It was similar to Origin’s 1990’s-era “Privateer” title, in which you fly a single-man spaceship around and attempt to achieve certain goals while interacting with people, collecting resources, and shooting stuff.
Like everything, I got bored with it pretty …
My advice, given post-dot-com-boom, used to be “Get a degree, work hard during the day to build your rep at work, work hard at night to build your rep on the internet — your work rep and internet rep feed each other.”
My new advice: Create a cool facebook API application …
