Access Request to my Crowdfunding Wiki

sull — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 20:26:27 +0000

Well…. of all the requests I have received to edit my wiki page on crowdfunding (http://crowdfunding.pbworks.com/), this one has me confused as to how to respond.
Suggestions?

A Million High Fives — Soap Box Included

Partial Peace of Mind

sull — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 21:17:06 +0000

WordPress is like Windows. It’s massively popular and used by millions. This also makes it the biggest target for script kiddie hackers. You could argue that their is a twisted symbiotic relationship since the software improves with every patched hole that is creatively revealed. But some bloggers do really get screwed with and its not fun.

WordPress has some decent backup plugins and I am running one that emails my gmail account every night with the attached backup file.

Though this does give some peace of mind, the real problem with web security is that it revolves around your email address. Passwords, confidential files, contacts etc etc are all right there in your email account with only a single password as an obstacle. Once your email is compromised, the digital intruder can get access to any number of other accounts…. whether that be your social network services or banking services…. you can get hit hard.
This is a topic I would like to write about again so i’ll just end with the most obvious tip.

Change your email passwords often and make them “very strong” and automate data backup.

Interesting project.
Brandon actually live nearby to me.
Also, I coined the term Crowdfunding in 2006 ina blog and a wikipedia article quickly followed. Wikipedia editors decided it was not a valid article and I was tired of the cat and mouse effect of maintaining it there so I moved it over to http://crowdfunding.pbworks.com.
Anyway, take a look at AMHF!

Appcelerator Entourage Documentation | Welcome to Entourage!

sull — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 08:34:17 +0000

I was just playing with my Titanium rssCloud app and having fun with the real-time effect of my test feed. i’m just using a webapp as a proxy to the cloud hubs so this subverts any firewall issues that have been mentioned. Now i’m looking at Entourage which is probably what I should focus on if i’m going to move forward with Titanium as framework for an rssCloud app.
Of particular interest in Entourage MQ:

Entourage MQ is a client-side message bus that enables many-to-many message pub-sub. It is seamlessly integrated with our Entourage Service Brokers to provide a powerful message-oriented client/server architecture, but it can also be used to easily consume any REST-based service.

Mark Logic CEO Blog: Why Mark Logic Isn’t Bigger Than Oracle. Or Is It?

I’ve often found myself landing back to MarkLogic when I do research. It’s something I have long wanted to get involved with but have always been forced to be fond from afar.
If I were to start a tech company, it would be one of the first core components that I would deploy (even if just a test bed).

keeptrackof.it | Google Groups

sull — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 19:44:24 +0000

This is a thread from 3 years ago that I started.
I setup a google group to fork a discussion we had been having on the Videoblogging Yahoo Group about tracking conversations. I setup the domain keeptrackof.it along with the mailing list. Like many things I start, it fizzled. But 3 years later I see the discussion is still applicable and more importantly, still not solved… though their are many new innovative tools and services that are trying to. Round we go.

Keith Devens .com – Weblog: Comment RSS feeds – June 14, 2003

sull — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 17:30:16 +0000

A good thread from 2003 that discusses the use of namespaces in XML.
3 years ago I was more involved in Comment Tracking with a project called keeptrackof.it. I should have stayed on it as I am now confronted with the same topic for both similar and new reasons.

I just added a comment on a friendfeed rssCloud thread (http://ff.im/612Gn) and wanted to update my own post here so…..

They are my friend so i’ve learned. I use them often, sometimes reluctantly. A project for an employer was a perfect case for using the SMIL standard. But my argument failed and we started with an RSS namespace instead which devolved into a hybrid DTD based off of XSPF. Our stuff works, but I have this drive to leverage existing specs especially when functionality can neatly fit. I am all for using namespaces. But I cant help myself and enjoy the debate for what can be considered, oddly, the underdog (the standard spec). Here is a thread of interest from 2003 that I just found – http://keithdevens.com/weblog/archive/2003/Jun/14/CommentsRSS

Google Code Blog: Towards a programmable web: PubSubHubbub for Google Alerts

sull — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 05:42:36 +0000

Today we’re happy to announce that we have gone a step further and added PubSubHubbub support to Google Alerts. This gives developers the means to write web applications that process newly relevant search results as they become available. Think of it as an AJAX search API that tells *you* when it finds new results. Acting upon these notifications your app could update your website, email friends, send an SMS– the possibilities are endless.
