Well, I screwed up the video again. No audio from participants. There is some problem between SnapX Pro and GoToMeeting and underlying audio channels. When I do one on one meetings, I rarely mess this up. With the group meetings, I got lucky the first time, and unlucky since. There is probably some magic order … Continue reading

Tip of the Day: [WE] 32-Bit Apps on DreamHost
I ran into a little issue on DreamHost the other day. I have a VPS with them, and recently switched my Web Edition deployments there on the promise that they provided support for 32-bit apps.

Patience
Bob Keeney posted an open letter to Real Software about how he is worried with the delay for Real Studio 2012r1. Here is why I’m not worried: Pretty much everyone who has seen the new IDE in the past year has said that it is beautiful. Strategic bridge burning forces one to succeed on the … Continue reading
