2 weeks ago I launched a platform for reading and writing interactive stories as a single founder. It's called Yarn (see: https://www.useyarn.com). None of my numbers are very large (yet) but the response from users has been great.

Reading that last sentence gave me an idea for a SaaS company that (for a small monthly fee) marks and lets you purge suspicious fans of your page. Too bad it's impossible to get a list of your page's fans: https://developers.facebook.com/x/bugs/147185208750426/

One time I tried to change a column name in a production database. I learned that when you change a column name, mysql doesn't just change a string somewhere, it creates a new table and copies all the values from the old table into the new one and when that table has millions of rows in it, it really slows down your production server.
Who's Online? An alternative approach.

Yup, is this about the arrow keys scrolling the page along with the paddles? While the arrow keys work, the hints at the beginning suggest using 'w' and 's.'

This is dead on. Another developer and my self reluctantly joined our office's league this year, despite knowing nothing about football. We're both dominating. He's 7-1 and I'm 6-2. I'd be 7-1 too if I'd have known what a 'bye' week was and paid closer attention to my team.

The spoke design is pretty clever, but isn't the real problem is going to be the tire? I can't think of any material that would be durable enough for those conditions and flexible enough to change shape with the spokes.

I've been running all the comments and posts on one of my sites through Akismet (http://akismet.com/) instead of requiring captchas. It works great at filtering out spam but couldn't replace captchas in every situation. For example, I don't think it'd be very effective against fake account signups.
