Dealing With Delays In The Delivery Of Stretcher Bars And Canvas Rolls
If you are running a canvas printing company, you are likely to face a number of problems in the day to day running of your company. One of the most concerning problems that most canvas printing companies face is the uninterrupted supply of canvas printing supplies such as stretcher bars, canvas rolls, inkjet canvas, polyester canvas etc. You may have ordered your canvas printing supplies but you may be facing problems in the delivery date.
FYI, this issue probably has personal relevance for the author (Naval Ravikant). He was one of four founders who were left out in the cold during the Epinions IPO.

The fifth got $20 million.

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F00E5D7113DF...

But the founders of Epinions -- Nirav Tolia, Naval Ravikant, Ramanathan Guha, Dion Lim and Mike Speiser -- have learned that success does not necessarily mean that a company's creators will be rewarded.

August Capital and Benchmark Capital, two venture capital firms that invested $4 million each to help start Epinions in April 1999, profited handsomely in the public offering. They had both made additional investments, and each now owns a stake in Shopping.com worth roughly $60 million. Overall, Shopping.com was worth $750 million at the close of the market on Friday.

By contrast, four of the five founders of Epinions did not see a dime from Shopping.com's public sale -- their shares in Epinions were rendered worthless when it merged with DealTime.

''What the Epinions story demonstrates,'' said Paul Saffo, a research fellow at the Institute for the Future, a Silicon Valley research group, ''is that the golden rule applies even in Silicon Valley: the people who have the gold, rule.''

Of the Epinions founders, only Mr. Tolia, who took over as Shopping.com's chief operating officer after the merger, fared well in the offering. His shares were worth nearly $20 million at Friday's closing price.

Google's plan for FDA labeled drug ads
1. you're pissing away time (yc, twit, etc.), and conveniently putting the entire blame on the manager - i've done that.

2. you're a family man with a job. do more of what you need to, and less of what you want to.

3. you need to gracefully step off the corporate boat, and not break your fucking neck in the process. only then in the opportune time, can you do much more of what you want to. you have it backwards.

4. disconnect all the inter-tube and its chatter, it's obvious you have time, ground yourself in something truly rewarding, not a popularity contest. do it while you're working. most importantly, involve the family to some degree.

5. don't ask for your wife's permission, it's an enormous guilt trip. ask for her advise. remember, women seek security and rightfully so.

6. don't let twits give you the impression you're somehow broken, i stopped counting how many times I had to send checks out to the "rock stars" on the net.

7. get your manager involved in design details - always give her options and tradeoffs, don't shield her from the process, you're dumbing her down. while working on your rapport with her, look for a job closer to home.

8. moving forward, don't advertise yourself as a rockstar programmer and always involve the manager in the decision process. missed deadlines are tolerable when it's a group fuckup.
Businesses pay rent at a mall, and in turn they get to decorate the place how they want (presumably, not with ads for other stores inside).

It's still an interesting problem, and the mall analogy is a good one. Would bands pay if there were listeners? I think so, BUT would it just become a place for big bands on big labels to show off how expensive of a graphic designer they can hire, because the mall just keeps raising the rent? I don't know
I don't like to promote T-Mobile too much, because they have a lot of flaws, but they're great compared to the other US providers.

I'm on a prepaid SIM chip with them at the moment, using my own phone. I just bought a $100/1,000 minute refill that only cost me $70, thanks to Bing cash back, so that's $.07 a minute. Those minutes don't expire for a year.

Whenever I want, I can switch, through their Web interface, to the "Sidekick" plan, which gives me unlimited data for $1/day and flat-rate $.15/minute calls. (Only problem is, they blocked port 80 for non-Sidekick devices, but I can still check my mail, and I'm working on proxies...)

More interestingly, my understanding is that they will unlock your T-Mobile phone for you in store, while you are still under contract, if you tell them that you are going abroad and want to use other SIM chips while out of the country.

My old no-contract monthly plan (with T-Mobile) was $60/month for unlimited Internet and 300 minutes. This has to be competitive with the other majors.

Yeah, it did come across pretty whiny, but I think it's representative of what a lot of Myspace users think/thought about the service.

For some reason -- which I still don't really understand -- a lot of people got lured into believing that Myspace was a replacement for running a legitimate website under your own domain. And it's not. Really, truly not. But a lot of bands thought that, as long as they were on Myspace, they didn't need to do anything else (or in some case could even take their existing sites down).

I'm glad that people are finally figuring out that this was a bad idea. There's no problem with maintaining a presence on Myspace, Facebook, etc., if you're a band (in fact I think it's a really good idea), but it shouldn't be your only online presence. It's a lot safer to use those free services as traffic-drivers to your own domain than to depend on them exclusively.

Also, you should have more important questions to deal with, like how to get people to your actual domain.
Don't worry about trying to snap up typos. I usually only buy ones that users could make through misunderstanding my name (i.e. parselets.com vs. parslets.com). The best solution is to make sure that your name doesn't lend itself to ambiguous spelling.
Thanks for the reply!

I'm actually asking this for a friend of mine.

The domain is already attracting a good amount of traffic for a fairly popular application. He's already registered a bunch of domains to keep the squatters at bay - the question is really whether he should renew any of them or none at all.

Mac users: what do you use to create password-protected zip archives?
A client wanted to send over some confidential information and was wondering how to password-protect a zip file. Incredibly, I couldn't find any graphical zip archive utilities for OS X that encrypt files, work in Snow Leopard and are free. 7zX claims to do this but it has some scary user-submitted reviews. Zippist looks promising but it doesn't seem to work in Snow Leopard. I actually use Path Finder or the command line for this, but it's unreasonable to ask most clients to do the same.

What do you use to create password-protected zip archives? What do you recommend to your clients? If you know of any freeware or inexpensive shareware programs, please leave a comment below. My sense is that unless security features like this is built-in or is available at little or no cost, people who aren't already using good security practices are unlikely to start. To improve the situation, I wrote a utility that does the job and am offering it here in case anyone wants or needs it. Ziprotect was built with Platypus and is free and open source.

First ask if LOC is a good measure for programs. :)

LOC can be very misleading. A better estimate, to me, would be: how long did it take to write your simplest, useful application?
I really don't think it is a joke. I know a lot of people who do a lot of what is talked about. For the most part, a lot in the article is true.

While it may talk about a few points in a joke-like manner, it is still a pretty realistic article.
I would imagine a customer or potential customer who misspells your domain will realise they've gone to the wrong site. Buying misspellings might be worth it in either of two situations

1) Those clients are unlikely to try again after the misspellings.
2) Squatters / other sites on those domains will negatively affect your brand.
Are they .com's? Its probably worth the $10 a year just for peace of mind. They're not a massive outlay if you only have a few of the most obvious ones.
It depends on what your site is worth and how much traffic you are driving. If you are Google, it's a no brainer. If you're getting 1k uniques/mo, it's a needless expense. The tipping point lies somewhere in between. My guess is on the high end, but I have little evidence to back that up.

I have bought a misspelling exactly once, because I couldn't stop myself from doing it when writing an apache config file, and I figured if I couldn't get the domain "right" then I shouldn't expect anyone else to.

Customers largely don't type in domains anymore. They use Google. You're going to win on google versus any typosquatter, and most probably versus a competitor who actually makes a bit of an effort. (To use an example taken totally at random, http://www.bingocardscreator.com , for example.)

However, I do have one bit of domain buying advice: own the big three (com/net/org) for anything you register. Aaron Wall has waxed eloquently on this topic before, so you can read it on his blog, but exact match domains have an insane boost associated with them currently on Google and if you exactly match the search query you can get to the top of the rankings by sneezing.
Cool, good advice. Thanks.

It really depends on what you're using your primary domain for. If you want people to give you money, for example, I believe it's critical that you get the misspelled versions of the domain. If it costs you $10-15 a year for a domain and you get $10-15 per download, subscription, online listing, etc. from a customer that was redirected from one of the misspelled domains, then the domain is pays for itself and reduces the friction for future sales.

The problem is having too many domains. After a while, the price adds up and the overhead isn't worth it, either. I recently transferred a few hundred domains from GoDaddy to another registrar and it literally took half a day to do it. Lock-in sucks.

Create a Google Calendar widget with PHP
I don't know much about the subject, but I read through the first half of his paper ( http://themandus.org/abstract.html ) and it seems reasonably well argued, fair in assessing the strength of the evidence supporting his hypotheses, and overall very scholarly. I don't think his ideas can be dismissed out of hand.
I haven't seen a compelling reason to switch to clojure either. Despite some people trying to argue to the contrary, fair benchmarks that I've seen put clojure on average at least 10 times slower than Java in CPU performance, and Java itself is often 50% slower than C or more. Why bother parallelizing when you're already 10-15 times slower? CPU's aren't free to run! They have to be purchased, consume power, require maintenance, and are prone to failure.

Also, as far as productivity goes, I don't see clojure providing any significant short-term productivity gains over existing scripting languages like Python and Ruby. The use cases for macros beyond lazy evaluation appear few and far between in practice, and most of us get along fine in practice without persistent heterogeneous immutable data structures and lazy order evaluation.

So, unless you enjoy learning languages for fun or find yourself thinking more clearly using a functional approach, and there appear to be many people on this site who fit into one or both of the above categories, you are just fine sticking with Ruby.
Groovy, good luck with that!

In the browser, perhaps, but not in emails or other types of messaging. Business cards and other printed materials are another example where people will have to retype domains.

I agree that having the big three is important. If you ever sell a business or domain, it's worth considerably less if you don't control the other TLDs for the name.
