From my understanding, Tika can extract plaintext and metadata from multiple formats, but doesn't do any pruning. Just compare the output of e.g. Goose to Tika.

Great pitch! I found that demos that somehow connect the virtual with the real world (like making a phone ring) work quite well.

If you plan to do live coding, don't underestimate how long it takes to show something meaningful.

Instead of building your own range function, you could use lists:seq(From, To)

Nice little script!

Keep in mind that if you have lots of followers and friends (think aplusk), you will run out of API requests before you even fetched all ids.

It's interesting to see how many people you inspire to start something.

It will be even more interesting to see where they will be a year from now.

Gary, you rock! I'm not into cards, but I can really see potential for this kind of show. It's not just sports, you could open two decks of collectible card game like Magic the Gathering and play a game live.

On a side note, I noticed that this was the first video I watched on this site which ended with you smiling. Maybe you should stop talking about personal branding and hustle 2.0 and talk more about cards ;)
