I don't have a BB to test with and make sure everything works. You can force the app to load by going to http://www.bustickerapp.com....

Are you using an Android or iOS device? Those are the only two platforms that Bus Ticker supports at the moment. If you're still having problems drop me a message: gavin.schulz@gmail.com

Thanks! I'll be sure to get in touch shortly (not sure about BB support).

That's what I figured you were doing. That's how I've been doing it as well and it works quite well. If you have a chance could you also discuss how you go about synchronization of models when the server copy changes because of another client?

Can you go into a little bit more detail about the bootstrap pattern? Do you now skip the coll.fetch() step and just send the data from the server through bootstrap.js?

This is exactly the problem the big companies put lots of resources into college recruiting and startups just don't have that many resources to dedicate to college recruiting. I've tried in the past to solve this; for instance this year I tried to put together a startup job fair for internships but I couldn't get enough startups interested. Seems like a two-way problem.

Seconding the recommendation to take CS classes. Even if it won't make them proficient enough to build apps it can give them a better idea of the work required and what's possible.

I wish there was more of this in university; many students don't know about entrepreneurship and the oppurtunities that are available. This especially an issue in Canada where mostly graduates just go and work for big companies.

Re: Hacker Monthly: It’s the best of the Internet, printed out, and it’s turning a profit

Gavin Schulz — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:37:20 -0000

Hacker Monthly is beautifully designed and it's great to see he's making a living off of it. Then again what if he had to pay all the contributors; at the moment they might not care much about compensation but if it continues to grow all the contributors might want a piece of the action.

Jason did not "steal" the concept. He contacted Leo about it and there is an agreement there.

They are also hiring BB & Android client devs so they will be supporting those platforms as well.

Re: Twitter Should Decentralize (And Make Money) Via Twitter Server

Gavin Schulz — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:29:19 -0000

This is a terrible idea. The API would be totally destroyed. There already is a distributed micro-blogging platform identica. It doesn't work so well. There are lots of issues with decentralization. Poorly researched piece. Also Twitter isn't even remotely related to Exchange.

Re: Venture Capitalists V. Founders: Battle At Mochi Media

MochiMedia does make money they are an ad-network. They needed money to take the next large step in expansion. For any company that wants to grow quickly a large capital investment is usually the best way to go!

If you have such a statement to make then why don't you identify yourself with a website or twitter? Surely someone as smart as you would have an interest in consulting for all the declining startups.

Re: Is it better to do Social Media Marketing In House or Outsource it?

If you have a good plan and good grasp of social media you should be able to do it in-house without many problems.

Great advice. Video is becoming the new TV ad spot and these are definitely things one needs to watch out for!
