Technology & Nostalgy

Friday, November 25, 2005 

I have just remembered my web site from 1998-1999.
It's still hosted at geocities: Little Guy's temoporary home on the web.

It's interesting to note that:
a) I have posted my bookmarks online. Delicious? RawSugar? latecommers ;)

b) my PopCheck Software was (still is?) used by hundreds if not thousands of people to check their POP accounts.

c) The program's page has some cool design, if I may say so myself, I used big fonts and light colors back in 99' when web 2.0 was not even heared of, nobody knew nothing about the web2.0 checklist.

History, as short as may be repeats itself.

A must read for anyone serious about keeping his startup in “innovation mode” not only in “execution mode”.

Who needs tracking cookies and spyware? Not Google - they user Google analytics to track everything everywhere.

Google announced Google Analytics yesterday. This is a free version of Urchin, a web log analysis platform they bought a while back.

  • Google/analytics just does not work. It's interface is slow. I have gotten "down for maintenance" several times over the past two days. Also, it keeps complaining about my tracking code not being installed, although I have embedded it in two different pages, but with no success.
  • A couple of months ago, in my capacity of PM for RawSugar, I was actually using Urchin, (paying $200 a month(!)) . It was over-priced and under performing, IMHO.
  • By introducing this tool to the market, google will have exact tracking of web visitors across all the internet. This, ofcourse, is valuble, valuble information. (did I say valuble?) On top of all the obvious and numerous lucrative opportunities this data generates for Google, it also enables them to completly stop all adsense fraud and misuse. So - if you're like me, going to your blog, clicking on an adsense ad, praying to get an additional 0.000000004 cents, forget about it. These good old days are over. ;)

Guest appearance on "Bill & Guy on rails"

Thursday, November 03, 2005 

Bill, the mean information machine, has suggested I'll co-post with him and share my adventures in the 'Ruby On Rails' land. Ruby On Rails is a web development framework that got all the buzz in the world. It is so "web 2.0", its scary. I have recently just started playing with it, and it seems to make web development terribly easy and fun.
So - I posted my first piece on bst.railsplaygournd.com.
