Mahemoff's Software As She's Developed [Mini Edition]

Mahemoff's Software As She's Developed [Mini Edition]

Michael Mahemoff  //  Web designer/developer. Rails/Ajax/etc

This is my random anything-goes blog - I am treating it as an easy way to generate mini web pages, rather than a continuous flow of consciousness on any particular topic. It gives me an outlet for things I can't say on Twitter in 140 characters, but are too unstructured, short, incomplete, and grammatically trainwrecked to post on my main blog at http://softwareas.com.

Somehow most of the random links are 404, probably because creators have been logged in and left them private.

Monit lesson learned: use "as uid", not sudo

Been setting up monit to auto-restart node if there's a problem.

Not wanting to run Node as root, I tried a sudo in the restart rule, but it failed. Log message:
  Error: Could not execute sudo

Tried using "as uid" instead and it works. Here's the full working stanza:

  check host appname with address 127.0.0.1
    start program = "/usr/local/bin/node /path/to/app.js"
      as uid theusername and gid theusername
    stop program  = "/usr/bin/pkill -f 'node /path/to/app.js'"
    if failed port 3000 protocol HTTP
        request /
        with timeout 10 seconds
        then restart

Ribbit (BT's phone API) is closing down and directing people to Twilio with a discount offer

The Ribbit Developer Program is Closing

----

Tuesday August 9th, 2011
 

Dear Ribbit Developers,

Thank you for your participation in the Ribbit Developer program over the past few years.  We recently changed our business objectives to focus our efforts on voice technology for our parent company, BT Group, and have decided to discontinue support and external access to our voice platform, SDKs and APIs.

To give you time to make transition plans, Ribbit will be closing the Developer and Account Portals, disabling all Ribbit API Keys, and removing all Voicemail Boxes, Transcriptions and Sub Users, 60 days from the date of this notice (Tuesday August 9th, 2011).  Please prepare accordingly and remove any dependencies on the Ribbit platform from your applications prior to the effective shut down date.

One alternative that might be of interest to you is Twilio, a programmable voice platform with comparable features and pricing.  We're pleased to confirm that the team at Twilio have agreed to offer you $100 of FREE credit and in addition, a $100 discount to their upcoming Twilio Conference to get you started.  Use coupon code RIBBITDEVELOPER to redeem these offers when you sign up for a Twilio account, or register for the conference.  If you have any questions please contact Twilio at ribbit@twilio.com

Sign up for Twilio


IMPORTANT NOTES:

- All of your saved messages, transcriptions, and any contacts will be permanently deleted.

- All accounts, application API keys, and devices will be permanently disconnected and deleted.

- This notice only refers to Ribbit Developers and does NOT impact Ribbit Mobile or Ribbit for Salesforce users.

- Twilio free credit offer expires on January 1, 2012.


Please contact us at support@ribbit.com with any questions.


Sincerely,
 

The Ribbit Platform Product Team

Imran Ghory on ads at leancamp

He's shard a lot of tips for non conventional tips

Facebook can be cheap esp if your ads are popular and with demographic data supports ab testing. Requires a lot of experiments though.

Linkedin can be great for b2b ads because of the targeting. I you're a member of a group can reach people directly but don't abuse it.

Plentyoffish IRS even more detailed demog targeting than fb, which is great for niches.

Stumbleupon you can get a site feaured easily but users tend to be checking the site out and not hang around.

Fb - image is much more important, people hardly look at the title. Amateur photos convert better than professional/stock photos.

Don't just do first-touch conversions on fb...often people will visit more than once before buying, so need to check it. Upcast-great case studies on fb.

Feedback from Xoogler post

Well, I could really get used to Google+'s comment system :). (And already did, via Buzz.)
But we don't have it for Twitter, so I used ListOfTweets to yoink the lovely feedback after I mentioned my moving on from Google.

Ray Kurzweil - Ray Kurzweil and Tim O'Reilly on the future of ebooks and other tech

http://bit.ly/jAmcMh

Ray Kurzweil has spent most of his life imagining what the future might be like, and then inventing it. In this keynote from 2010, Kurzweil shares his vision of the future with Tim O'Reilly, founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media. The interview begins with a discussion about the Blio, the future of digital publishing, and finally the Singularity. This interview precedes the September 2010 release of the Blio, a TTS-enabled, full-color, web-enabled eReader.
