Re: Rebooting the Internet, day 1

Yup, and since the main domain isn't under SSL you SHOULDN'T get the mixed content warnings. IE may throw a warning so I'd do a quick test but I don't think it's an issue. It's usually only an issue when the main domain is under SSL and you try and load assets from insecure locations.

Hey Dave,

S3 works over SSL natively but not with custom domains because of certificate issues. You can use the native S3 url structure to load your JS like this for example:

Re: Instagram walks back its controversial TOS update; reverts to old TOS

I prefer to pay for software and get what I pay for instead of getting something for free and them monetizing my behavior and personal info so I'm sticking with Flickr and their decidedly non-square photos. The new app makes it a LOT easier to go back home.

Re: Once Again, RSS Is Dead. But ONLY YOU Can Save It!

I don't know about all these kinds and their fancy Google Reader but you'll have to pry NetNewsWire from my cold dead hands... RSS isn't dead, it just doesn't monetize for shit.

I'd like to add http://www.donorschoose.org/ to the list. That's where 90% of all my charity goes since you can target to the actual classrooms and get feedback directly from the kids you help.

Sorry to hear you're shutting down. Never fun. We've been doing Metblogs.com for over 6 years now and yeah, local's not easy. We've had copyright issues as well but fortunately not very many compared to the number of writers that we've had which at this point has been in the thousands.

DV's a secure, time-released password/data escrow service I've been playing with launching for a few years. There is another competitor in the space but they're doing it all wrong and it's something I need so I'm building it. Just trying to find good, rock solid hosting out of the jurisdiction of as many governments as possible.

On the robots.txt thing... if a domain currently has a restrictive robots.txt file then old versions of the site that didn't have one or had looser restrictions are inaccessible. So sites I built fromthe old days that have domain squatters on them now are dead in the archive. I wrote them several times about it but they stood firm on it hence my declaring it a foolish policy.

Yahoo's the reason I'm building DeathVault.com! Their TOS won't let families of the deceased even have access to their email. I don't trust them for an instant.

This is one of those nagging issues that's been driving me mad too. I've got a few websites of friends who've died that I am keeping in trust until I can find a place to store them that's long term. It's an expensive proposition and I thought that archive.org was going to be doing something about this but the issues with domains switching hands and their foolish handling of robots.txt files make it almost useless for long term archiving which is quite ironic.

PGP Whole Disk Encryption and 1Password are amazing. I recommend them both highly unless you're running Snow Leopard. PGP isn't u[gradable just yet.

Re: 5 Ways to Share Images on Twitter

Jason DeFillippo — Wed, 20 May 2009 11:05:09 -0000

Personally I loath having to post photos on more than one site so to keep my workflow the same I email photos from my phone to Flickr as usual but set up a http://twitterfeed.com/ account to scrape my new photos and cross post them over to Twitter. That way my photos aren't spread out all over hell and back and it's totally automated.

Re: Review: MailChimp (Email Marketing)

Jason DeFillippo — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 19:46:24 -0000

I'd recommend checking out WhatCounts.com. I've used them for years and I find their tools a 1000% more powerful than MailChimps (which I use for a low volume list). I've used WC for campaigns that sent 500k+ per day and it was amazingly performant and the staff there is top notch.

Thanks! This one is a solo project. But I think I'm going to open up aphotoaday.com to be a group site since I can't really maintain it like I thought I was going to be able to and I'd rather focus on this for the time being. Interested in jumping in on that?

No, I was going to make a post on it later today about my status. I broke up with my girlfriend on Friday and have had kind of a shity past several days. I'm going to pick it back up again on Thursday.
