I tried an AWS service 2 years ago. The upload was mind numbingly slow. What takes 5 minutes on dropbox took over 3 days. I tried this on a few occasions and the result was the same each time. Unless i hear a ton of rave reviews... I have trust issues with AWS regarding service.

Parallax made much look bland. I fear sheep mentality with material design will make things worse.

Ok Mario very cool thanks for providing this service. Brick.im is an alternative service for serving google fonts non locally. It provides better ligatures. Does google-webfonts-helper do anything like this?

Fontsquirrel provides all fonts in all formats and when you download then check the webform generator. It will generate the css code you need to include the fonts as well. It is better practice to host Congress yourself where possible

Re: Sony reportedly says it’ll sue Twitter over tweets with hacked emails

dccrowley — Tue, 23 Dec 2014 06:29:42 -0000

Sony has an attitude problem which has contributed to the death of music sales, seemingly racist, can't make money but can only do things 'their way'. Sony should clear out the arrogance, start being very humble and provide real value to everyone, learn to enjoy what they do and stop being so hardcore power morans. They have reaped what they have sown

form is not working for me using safari osx. By the way imo really the massive majority want LinkedIn next. I seriously think if you can get that working the upsell on the premium plan will make you bank accounts very happy. LinkedIn peeps love a premium product. Go get 'em

Re: How to hire a Web designer or design company

dccrowley — Sun, 09 Nov 2014 07:31:58 -0000

Not trying to hack you Paul Jarvis :) Not sure if ROI is all the designers fault/ eh responsibility. The contract person I am using is none of your business. My responsibility is to get the job done on time or the price agreed. Also if it needs to be done dirt cheap expect nothing (Quality, speed, pricing = Pick any two). Not being offered a responsive or mobile site should be a red flag Mr. Paying customer and also agree customer owns the website. Personally if they build using an open source cms (drupal/ wordpress) you get the freedom to choose someone else later if this does not work out. Maintenance and training are very important. But so is agreeing goals and understanding the customers business, good content and marketing plan. Understanding customers business, good content and marketing plan take time and money. Incrementally build website and scale up the goals should keep you out of any chicken egg loop. I would recommend clients read "YOU’RE MY FAVORITE CLIENT" by MIKE MONTEIRO. Humorous, this should really get you to the right wavelength.

Re: The Information: Cyanogen Inc. Turned Down Buyout From Google, Seeking Funding On $1 Billion Valuation

Being bought by Google is like Microsoft buying Linux. Too stupid to be true. Cyanogen keep your feet on the ground. Cyanogen is very important even if the rest is not in place yet (secure non gmail), etc.

Re: Invoicing tip: how small business owners get paid in five days

dccrowley — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 09:37:37 -0000

A few points here - offer goods to clients who do not pay promptly for cask only. Never continue supplying. You worry about the relationship! Do they? Relationships are a 2 way street. If they don't care about you fire your customer! Do it, start with the worst one.

Now to the positives because that is the way to run a business. Who are your top 10 customers. How much of your turnover do they generate. Be in business for the great clients, see if you can add small extra appreciation toward them (quicker delivery, a crate of beer on friday, something small and appreciative) and try to grow sales there. Good luck

Typische Nederlanders overheid praktijken. Eerst enthousiast maken voor iets een daarna naaien. Denk nationaal hypotheek garantie, Belasting voordeel oldtimers... Groene auto's... En vroegtijdig zonder het aan te zien komen afschaffen.

Re: How should we describe ‘assisted dying’?

dccrowley — Sat, 12 Jul 2014 05:14:24 -0000

Roman catholic church is a problem. But not in this case. They are a minority religion here in Britain with little power. But lets leave the blame game behind and talk about what is needed and get cracking on rolling it out. I am very pleased that Former anglican archbishop Carey has weighed in on the debate and concentrated on the un-needless suffering we are putting people through.

All I see here are opinions, 'murder', 'RAGE (rapid access to granny's estate)'. How about giving people a choice. I used to live in Ireland in the 1980's. Back then there was no choice. No choice in divorce, condoms, abortion. Stop interfering. The issue should be about terminally ill people in the last stage of life, in great pain and nothing left in life. Stop interfering. If you don't want to make use of euthanasia, fine. But leave those who feel they need it as terminally ill patients have a choice.

Re: Xperia SP Android 4.3 update starts rolling with build 12.1.A.0.266 [Update]

dccrowley — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 03:40:54 -0000

I have the "sony sp update 4.3 build 12.1.A.0.266" SOme of it is great. Interface improvements for phone and walkman app. Walkman cannot throw music to my sonos speaker anymore (pity), I can't take screenshots anymore (this is annoying), log in, finger swipe-> drags clock box down as if I want to edit the box size! (annoying) worse still I cannot. Sp what is better? Eh I use Aviate as my device manager, but most of the interfaces are better and the typography, spacing is better (happy). My business calendar pro app would not sync. Downloading the google cal app and syncing it got business calendar pro working again

Re: Unlimited Free Listening: Spotify's Latest Lure For The Elusive Paid User - by Taylor Hatmaker

dccrowley — Sat, 18 Jan 2014 13:51:24 -0000

I hate the way Spotify does business. My opinion is sell music cheap... You now own the track and do either it what you like. The record industry wants to screw you and Spotify and anyone stupid enough to do business with these people. Spotify will die and these murders will sharpen their knives for their next victim. This will only end when they lose their power. That is what needs to happen. Spotify, my opinions are completely irrelevant until then
