Quick google shows "Lesser Mortal Sh*t"

Re: 10 Predictions for 2010 In the World of Tech

#2 isn't much of a prediction. WinMo 7 has already been delayed to late 2010 at the earliest.

Chris, just an FYI but the link to your twitter article (at the top of the post) is wrong.

Re: Spotify: The Best On Demand Music Library I've Ever Experienced

So how does this work with my iPod? Oh wait - it doesn't. I still have to have a real music library of real music.

For me Twitter/FF are like interactive RSS. You don't have to be someone's friend (or even know them) to follow/share/etc... Facebook... It just seems perverse to have people that you don't know as your friend on there.

When do we get "Linux-compatible Silverlight Player" for Netflix?

Let's see, there is 7TB on the WHS, 2TB in the spouse's desktop, 1TB in my primary machine, and another ~ 2TB from the 3 netbooks, 2 laptops (1 from work), the 7 ipod's, the Linux server... I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

Now the fun question, you back up your machine's to the Time Capsule, but where do you back it up to?

For me it was the death of pownce which finally pushed me onto twitter. Hopefully it doesn't go the way of ICQ.

Re: My Plans for a New RSS Reader

Have you looked at FeedOnFeeds Redux? Probably a good place to start for web based RSS.

Several of my above the fold google search terms either return worthless results (fail), or nothing at all (epic fail).

Re: My Solution for Linux Beginners Facing Too Many Choices

Kevin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 04:26:03 -0000

There is only one Choice - Slackware. Duh.

Oh, and Blackbox (aka fluxbox) is the only Choice for WM services.

If you must use something like Ubuntu, I recommend Fluxbuntu.

Re: Effectively Establishing Your Web Identity

Yeah... My issue is the other "Kevin Kelly" (though I'm technically a Kelley) who is way more famous than I am ever likely to be.

Re: My Favorite Adobe AIR Apps

Kevin — Tue, 27 May 2008 09:15:26 -0000

Some great apps in there... The GA app looks like it could be very useful...

The developer in me has to ask though... Anyone know of/using any (good) Silverlight apps?

One other issue for me which I forgot... I use WP Syntax for highlighting code in my posts. This also allows for people commenting to use the same tags to highlight code in their comments... Not sure how this would work with Disqus

Re: Disqus comments now enabled here.

Yeah... I'm gonna hold off on this for my blogs. My issues are as follows:
* Export only works if you can automate it. No one is going to remember to login to the control panel every week, let alone every day, and do a manual export.
* They have no real business plan (that I can see) to be a long term profitable company. This is a big issue. I don't mind off-loading my data (I use gmail for apps for my domains, rather than self hosting it), but I do require some type of future plans that are realistic, and open.
* No information on business continuity. Do they have off-site backups? Are they hourly, daily, weekly, etcetera... Do they have multiple geographically separate data centers?

I will say that the idea of Disqus is great, and much like gmail killed large amounts of spam for email users, will go along way to killing spam in blog comments.

Re: Earning trust

What's your business plan to keep Disqus from "going away" and taking my comments with it?

What's your backup plan? Off-site? Tape retention time frame? Do you have multiple geographically separate datacenters with a full failover contingency in place?

Etcetera

You know as a Texan I think I should be offended by something here...
