Don't be an API company
Last year I was part of a hackathon called AngelHack. It was the first time that AngelHack made it out to Toronto and I joined a group of friends to participate. We developed an API meta-layer over cloud storage. By using us you could integrate every cloud storage system we supported into your application. Not being content with just that we built a few tools that ran on top of our API that would allow someone who wasn't very technical to add some cloud-capabilities to their website. We allowed them (with a couple lines of code) to modify every file upload button on their website to our interface that would let them select any service we supported and select files from there. We could also do the reverse – allow a website to push files down to the cloud storage account that a user selected.
But we were an API company. The tools were provided were meant to allow for mass adoption of our API's but unless you wanted something vanilla you would need to dive into our API.
After a lot of market research, and even some successful pilots we decided to stop playing in the API space. See the problem is that our market segment was very niche. We thought it was a lot bigger than it was. Our market segment was really programmers who were building something that was technical enough that they needed this functionality, but non technical enough that they were able to waste time building it all themselves. We required that a company be working on a consumer facing application, wanted to tie in to various cloud storage services but didn't want to do it themselves. Oh, and the company couldn't be TOO big because then they'd do it themselves, and they couldn't be too small or then they would HAVE to do it themselves.
But see, that's the problem with API companies. They tend to be niche products that will have some success in their niche, and that's it.
I wondered why for some time – why aren't there any big API companies? What stops that from happening? And then I realized – As an API company, what we are selling are some awesome made Lego bricks. We even sell them in a pastic bag, so you can take a look at our bricks and see how awesome they are. We provide you instructions on how to use the bricks. We even show you how some bricks work. But you're not trying to create something from it. You buy our bag of bricks because you saw a brick that you needed and you figured it's easier to get it from us than actually making your own bricks. We missed the whole point of the bricks.
See Lego doesn't sell the bricks. They sell the picture on the box. The bricks are just a mechanism to achieving what you want – the picture.
API companies, because of the nature of what they do, don't provide this picture. That's not what they do. Instead API company founders tend to be very smart, technical people who see the true beauty of the bricks. They revel in the bricks. In their minds eye that can twist and contort any number of the bricks. They can fit them together and build any number of amazing things. They get caught up in the bricks themselves. They never sell the amazing things that you can build with the bricks – they sell to other programmers and leave it to them to build the products.
Fargo.io OPML to JSON
I love the idea of being in control of all of the content I generate in my Outliner. This is one of the primary reasons I hopped off Workflowy and moved to Fargo.io. I get to keep all the content I generate and am free to do with it as I want.
One of the things that I want to do with my OPML feed is to keep all my thoughts on various projects together. I use Fargo to keep track of all my thoughts on my projects, and when I DO release project to the public I'm using it to power the "updates" section.
One easy way to do this is to utilizing the new "Names" functionality that was introduced with version 0.61. It allows me to publish my OPML document right on Small Pict and have a public link to it that I can share with users. Of course, this isn't idea for two reasons.
- I'm using up valuable sub-domains that other users may serve other users better. Not to mention the fact that right now sub-domains are free and I would prefer not needing to impose a payment scheme on it.
- I like controlling the content that I'm creating.
That last point is very powerful. As I said, it's what led me to start using Fargo. So, what I did was write a small script (literally a single function in PHP) that you point at an OPML feed and it will return a `JSON` or `array` structure that you can consume as you want. I'm linking directly to the OPML document in my dropbox folder that I've made public.

Why I'm blogging with Fargo
I like WordPress. It's a good blogging engine, and one of the nice things about it is that I never have to worry about people visiting my site. I don't need to worry about whether or not something will work for them. I know that when they come to my site they'll be able to get whatever they want from it. I know that I'll be able to either create a good theme, or find one that I really like and use that. WordPress gives me peace of mind.
However, one of the things that I worry about is when I eventually get bored of WordPress and decide to try and build something. Or what happens when there's a new blogging engine out there that's a lot better than WordPress? Do I have to rely on the next tool builder (me or someone else) to create a WordPress importer so that I don't lose all my content?
I am also very forgetful. Not a "Did I leave the stove on?" forgetful, but the "Have I eaten today?" kind. As such, I need to write down everything I do. If I don't, I'm pretty much guaranteed to forget it. I have a bunch of ways that I keep track of things. I use Evernote to capture all of my meetings and ideas and to have references to things. I've tried using it to organize what I need to do, or even to organize my thoughts, but my mind doesn't work that way. I find that old-school Outliners really work the way I think. Multiple thoughts and details can quickly be added without needing to worry about things.
I've tried a bunch of different outliners before settling on Workflowy a few months ago. It provides a super simply, web-based outliner that lets me do what I need. They offer me the ability to export my data and link to specific nodes and share things – which is awesome. However, something still irked me about it and always stayed my hand from actually paying for it.
I have no idea why – but I was always hesitant about it.
But yes, back to why i'm blogging with Fargo.
Fargo.io is a new tool released by Dave Winer – the same man who inspired my NewsRiver project. It's a web interface that writes to YOUR Dropbox account. Basically I can hop in to Fargo from ANY internet connected device (thanks to Bootstrap as well for that functionality) and I can write and organize my thoughts in an Outliner that saves itself to my Dropbox account.
I've been using it for a bit transitioning all my stuff out of Workflowy into Fargo and I'm already liking it a lot more. A lot of customization options (Custom CSS? Yes please!) as well as the ability to post right from my outliner to WordPress. That's right – this post is written in Fargo.io and with a couple clicks it's imported right in to my WordPress powered site.
Of course – now that the thing that powers my website is no longer locked to WordPress, maybe it's time to investigate writing my own blogging system that integrates a bit better with Fargo.
Prepping for a pilot that isn't on the web
My time with the start-up I'm at now has seen a lot of product changes. We went from an API company (don't be an API company) to a cloud storage amalgamation utility to a security cloud storage system. Finally we found our spot in data leakage auditing, monitoring and reporting. We're the guys your GRC departments (Governance, Risk and Compliance) will rely on to not only help you be more productive, but to secure the data at your company in ways that make sense.
From a technical point of view, imagine big-data style analytics in real-time. We're not machine learning – that is better left to people with PhD's and research papers. Instead what we do is get down into the nitty-gritty details of your network. We run passively on your network sniffing out everything and then perform analytics on what's happening to provide you a list of services that your employees are currently using. Of course, the benefit of using our tool is that we provide a way for you find out about new services as soon as they might begin to impact your company.
Forget storing data on the every service out there on the web – that's a full time job that is better left to Google. We focus on what is impacting you and your company.
However, our solution is a single piece of software (and at some point, possibly hardware) that gets installed on premises at your company. We don't ever see any of your data – that's what real privacy looks like. Of course, with that comes its own set of problems. My big question right now is pretty simple:
How do I keep the software updated with bug fixes, security updates and features without forcing you to do anything?
One of the ideas that I'm really interested in is this:
We're currently using git for our VCS. Does it make sense to keep our master branch releases with branches for security, bugs and features? This way we can merge them back to a test branch when everything is ready for testing. Once that passes we move things to a 'pre-production' branch which just sits there for most of the week. Perhaps once a week it merges pre-production and master. This way, the app can simply git-pull against our master branch whenever it feels like it? Perhaps on a scheduled basis once a week it can pull from the branch.
The benefits of this is that we can provide custom SSH keys for each installation of the application. Once a users license has expired or run out, we can simply de-auth them against git and then they no longer get any updates – without impacting their current service.
Another benefit is that if there WAS a bug with a new release we can configure the updater to simply roll-back to a previous version.
Because of our market size our customers will more than likely have their own labs set up where they would like to test updates. The git distribution system will allow us to roll out new updates to test labs if a customer desires. From this point they can easily configure and figure out what updates they want to release internally before pointing the application at their git server internally.
Unfortunately for me – I'm such a big proponent of the system that I can't really see the downsides. That's where I'm sort of hoping that you on the internet come to my rescue.
What are some potential problems that you see with using git as a method to update your software applications?
NewsRiver v0.8
A little while ago I mentioned the idea of programmer burnout and some suggestions on how to avoid it. One of the things that I forgot to mention at the time is that one of my hobbies is to have multiple projects happening that I can swap between to stay fresh. I ensure that they're different toolsets and the spaces are different enough that switching modes really helps.
One of the things that I've been working on is NewsRiver. It's a new way to read your feeds that really helped me eliminate the problems I was having with reading hundreds of articles a day. The problem with traditional RSS readers is that they make you feel guilty. When I log in to Google Reader after a couple days off and see THOUSANDS of feeds unread, it's easier for me to just sheepishly mark them all as read and start from scratch. But if I'm going to be doing that, why does it matter that all my feeds are stored in that manner?
The nice thing about important news is that it doesn't just show up once. Many sites will pick up the article and publish it with their own opinions. NewsRiver capitalizes on this by NOT storing or sorting your feeds. Instead of accumulating large amounts of items that you'll never actually read NewsRiver streams the items by you as they happen. If you're not around when it occurs then NewsRiver assumes that you're busy with something else. If the news is important enough, it will make its way around again.
If you haven't played around with it yet, I'd highly suggest taking a look. NewsRiver has been around for some time, but it's always been something I've used personally – never really marketing it. Today, however, I'm happy to announce that I've been working with Cochran Media on product roadmaps, design, marketing strategies and product positioning.
We're hoping that together we'll be able to take this product from a great hobby to something that really solves a need with the demise of Google Reader.
Don't talk to your customers, what do they know anyways?
I want to preface this by saying this is a rather highly opinionated article. I'm sure a lot of people won't agree, but hey, whatever.
Choice is a funny thing. We all want it. We want to know that whatever happens it was our choice that it happened. We like knowing that we controlled the outcome. We like knowing that it was up to us that something happened. We like choice. We believe choice gives us power.
The problem is, every choice we are given paralyzes us. Every time we are faced with a decision we must sit and think. We have to evaluate our options based on the choices at hand. And every choice given adds more time to our decision process – it decreases our conversion rate if you will.
I propose that in product design, despite when a user says that they WANT choice and they WANT features, what they really want is you to tell them what they want. And I think there's a very good reason for this.
When a user arrives at your application they are not a new user. They have habits that they've picked up along the way. Maybe they used similar software to yours before, maybe they only learnt how to use a mouse last week. Either way, they come with baggage. Every choice you offer your users forces them to go through this baggage and figure out what the best option for them is. And every choice you give a user forces that user to evaluate whether or not it is even worth it for them to go through this baggage and decide what to do next.
This is not a good way to run a business and the underlying problem of asking users what they want simply exacerbates it. When you ask a user what they would like to do, they shuffle through their baggage and pull out a few problem points that they have. Then they rank them and tell you the biggest problem they face with their current tool-set. And then you research their current tool-set and accordingly make decisions about your product.
I urge you to look at companies that truly revolutionized an industry – how many of them conducted 'focus groups'? How many of them did 'market research'? I think that companies that do 'focus groups' to help them drive product innovation are really driving product evolution. They are taking a product and moving it to its next, logical stage. But evolution is a lumbering beast. Evolution of a product takes years of development and the end result is only marginally different. Look at the difference between v2 and v3 of a product. Was it really that different? Did anything REALLY change?
Conversely, look at v1 of a truly revolutionizing product – the lightbulb, the steam engine, the internal combustion engine and radio. There was nothing like them before. They weren't born out of 'market research'. No one interviewed a bunch of people to find out what they wanted next. If you HAD interviewed someone before the lightbulb, isn't it conceivable to say that they would have asked for a longer burning lamp?
I think what I'm trying to say is that no one remembers the middle-grounds of evolution – they remain lost in the annals of history. Instead we remember the beginning.
Don't strive to evolve a product to its next stage – revolutionize an industry.
Breeding homing pigeons that could cover a given space with ever
increasing rapidity did not give us the laws of telegraphy, nor did
breeding faster horses bring us the steam locomotive.
– Edward J. v. K. Menge, "The Quarterly Review of Biology"
The flawed system of Venture Capitalists
I swore at some point I would rant about this, and today seems to be as good a day as any. For those of you outside of the startup life, VCs are essentially a bunch of gamblers. Their business is simply investing some financial capital into companies that are just starting out. They normally take some equity in the company so that when you make it big and sell your company or turn it into a multi-million dollar business, they can get a nice payout.
Rather than focusing on how a VC fund works, I want to talk about how they choose companies for funding, and why that system is flawed.
The current VC system is focused around making money. But not just making money, specifically making a ton of money with as little input as possible. A VC firm will have a bunch of partners who have to spend X million dollars. They have two options here:
- Make an educated guess as to what will take off, so they can get the most return for the least effort
- Throw money at everyone and hope someone (or everyone) makes it big
The problem is that the first situation takes too much time. In order for a VC to make an "educated" guess, they need a lot of information. They need to know a lot about you starting a company, they need to know a lot about the space, they need to know a lot about other companies that made it and didn't. This method, as awesome as it sounds, just isn't feasible. And I agree 100%. There may be a few founders-turned-VCs who HAD knowledge about the space at one point, but by that very nature they are biased. You'll notice that these people tend to be narcissistic in investments. They invest in people who remind them of themselves, and whose ideas align with theirs. This is a problem, and I think that most VC's and founders have figured this part out.
The second situation makes a lot more sense. You stop being a strategic thinker and instead rely on numbers. If you invest in 100 companies there's a much higher chance of success than if you invest in 2. It makes sense from a mathematical point of view, as well as from a time point of view. Now you can just spray investments across the board quickly and sit back and wait for something to happen. Because something is almost guaranteed to happen.
The Approach
Since there is no real way to judge whether a company will succeed or fail, VCs do what everyone else would do. They look back at previous successful companies in the same space as you and try and figure out if you fit that criteria. They look at you as a person and they try and compare you to people who are already successful. It's called pattern matching and you learn it in pre-school. See the flawed system that I believe VCs use is simply that they believe pattern matching will give them the results they want. After all, if it looks like a duck and acts like a duck, it's probably a duck.
The problem, however, is that you shouldn't be looking for a duck.
The easiest way to explain a VCs investment process is simply a standard data-set distribution of people who are successful. Just take a bunch of data-points, throw them on a graph and see where they clump together. Then ignore the points outside and focus on people who fit within the clump – after all if 75/100 successful people have similar traits you would think that the next successful person will have similar traits right?
The Turkey Problem
First off let me say that this example is ENTIRELY lifted from one of the smartest men I've heard of. Never met the man, but if someone can get me an introduction it would be most appreciated – and I will send you a pizza.
Nassim Talib puts forth a very interesting argument to pattern matching. Imagine a turkey, being raised on a farm. Every day that turkey is fed, it's given a place to sleep and is completely protected from all predators. That turkey has it pretty good. If this happens every day, that turkey will continue to believe that being a turkey is pretty awesome. Infact, that turkey will ALWAYS believe that it has it pretty awesome. Until thanksgiving. Then some event that the turkey can't even comprehend will occur, and the turkey is done for. However, up until thanksgiving if you could talk to a turkey, it would believe that being a turkey is pretty awesome. Someone takes care of you ALL the time, why WOULDN'T you want to be a turkey?
The Simple Solution
So how do turkeys apply to VCs? Simple. The turkey is essentially doing the same thing the VC is. They look back at historical "evidence" and try and fit the future in to it. The problem is this: That outlook only works until it doesn't. But it's considered a "statistical anomaly". It's not part of the pattern so we ignore it and move forward. The problem is that these statistical anomalies account for the MOST change. What VCs are hoping for are big payouts, but they ignore the outliers that can cause the GREATEST change.
We're literally held at the mercy of the outliers, but after they happen we either choose to ignore them or we make them the norm. The problem is that the very nature of an outlier means that we never see them coming.
What does this mean to our VC problem?
VCs need to stop using an average to figure out if a company will be successful. They need to start looking at the outliers on either side of the spectrum. Either the ones who will be amazingly famous, or the ones that will fall flat on their face. The thing is, statistically, the companies that you want to invest in are the ones that either closely mirror the outliers or doesn't mirror anything on the market at all. Those are what will have the potential to give you the most return on your investment.
PS. I hate statistics. I don't understand how a branch of study can exist PURELY to ignore the things that cause the most change? It's like a study in how to remain mediocre. But at the same time I absolutely adore that there's a branch of math dedicated to the mediocre so that we can flip the suggestions on its head and ignore the mediocre.
Educational Revolution
I wrote a post a few months ago talking about how I think there's a serious problem with education and where I feel like those problems stem from. Even though I spend 15 or 16 hours a day working, I still find time to turn this idea around in my head – and I want to clarify a few things.
I stated that I feel part of the problem lies in the strange importance that an entire generation has placed on the "degree". I feel like I need to clarify why I think that and what needs to happen – mostly because it isn't what I thought it would be.
I think the core of the problem is really the commoditization of knowledge. Knowledge is clearly power, but rather than working to bring that knowledge to everyone, they're locking it away. Don't get me wrong, I've always said – and I stand by it – that I don't believe that an industry can exist without people making money. We're a capitalist society, and a capitalistic society drives innovation. However, lets explore that idea briefly and see how it affects us.
Above you'll find outlined the standard deviation on bell curve. The numbers themselves are not that important, but rather the idea of the bell curve. In any non-biased distribution, after you ignore the outliers (that's why I hate statistics by the way, perhaps I'll cover that another day), what you're left with is the above representation. There are a few people that fall to the left, the majority in the middle, and then the rest to the right. The left and right simply refer to the lower and upper bounds of your scale. In our case (capitalism), our bounds simply measure money.
In a theoretical capitalistic society we can expect either a standard deviation bell curve, or a curve that's slanted slightly to the right. But, ideally, it would be a standard deviation. There are a lot of reasons for this, mostly economical – you can't have an entirely high-income society. The difference is that the bounds would be a lot higher. However, we all know that pure models only work when we remove human stupidity so what we're left with is the more practical distribution of capitalism.
Ahh the double bell curve.
I feel that as soon as you add humans to the situation, capitalism looks more the double bell curve – sure the bounds are higher, but there is no middle ground. This is exactly what we are seeing today with people talking about the disappearance of the "middle class", this is what they mean. They're talking about this distribution specifically. We see more people who would be considered "well off", and more that would be considered "poor". There's more to it than just this of course (to really research this phenomenon we'd have to look at economic changes, lifestyle changes and behavioral changes), but the end goal is that practical capitalism forces the distribution noticed above.
I think I've managed to convey a brief understanding of my view on capitalism, lets bring that back around to how it affects knowledge.
Knowledge lockers exist to enforce the divide. Conspirational? I don't think so (if you do, drop me an email, I'd love to hear your thoughts). However, I don't blame either side for the creation of the divide. I think it was just a natural progression based on human nature. If we look back through history we can see a clear rising where there are some who have, and some who have not and the tension that creates. And those who have, have more access to knowledge.
Degrees, in their purest form, represent a person who has attained a certain amount of knowledge in a particular topic. In order to receive said knowledge we've engineered a system where you need to be on the right side of our wealth distribution curve. We've turned learning into a business – and this is what happens when a business can manufacture demand and is put in command of the supply.
That's why I feel like educational reform, and all the companies that are trying to bring about education innovation are not helping. They're not making things better, they're simply trying to inject themselves into the profit that these knowledge lockers are bringing in.
What I want to advocate is Educational Revolution, throwing away the standard the idea that we need to turn this current commoditization of knowledge on its head and start giving it back to people. We need to bring back the "middle" class, but we can do that, while shifting our bounds upwards.
Communication is King
The importance of effective communication can not be understated. Over the last couple weeks I've had to frequently jump between marathon coding sessions, administrative meetings and impromptu product meetings. I've had to carry my laptop in to presentations and code during intermissions. I've spent plenty of nights programming and have probably not gotten very much sleep. In a start-up all of these things are expected. I came in to this knowing that I would be sleeping very little – that I would be coding a lot. But what I didn't know, was just how important proper communication can be to even a small team.
I had always had it in my head that the bigger a team got, the more complex things became. The interactions between people mattered more because now you had more people to interact with. Think of when you were younger and played broken telephone. That's pretty much how I imagine companies as they start bringing on employees. However, I reasoned, startups wouldn't have this issue. You would have MAYBE three or four members in a room talking. All of you would inhabit the same physical spaces and be subject to the same mental barrage – and together you would form your plan of attack and move forward – as a team.
How wrong I was.
The traditional game of broken telephone works like this. You get a few people, lets say 5, and they stand together side by side. One of them (on an end) will whisper something to the person directly next to them only once. That person will turn to whoever else is next to them and repeat exactly what they think they heard. This goes around until the person at the end of the line says that they heard out loud. And then you laugh and try and figure out where the chain went wrong.
That's how big business works.
There are 5 people, all of whom heard different things, but know that they have to try and pass along the information. Each one tries to make as much sense of it as they can before they pass it along, but the initial message inevitably gets destroyed. But the person at the end, the "worker", says what they heard out loud.
But if the person at the end wasn't allowed to say what they heard out loud, but instead had to paint a picture of what they heard? How much time and effort would go in to the picture only to find out at the end that they heard wrong?
Startups work more like the latter. Everyone hears the same thing, but it means different things to each people. And because you're a small team, you never feel the need to clarify. You can waste a lot of time building something only to realize that it isn't what each person expected.
So re-iterate. Ask someone to explain back what you just asked. It might seem like you're being rude, or don't trust them – but it's important. As a startup you can't waste time thinking you know what's expected. You have to know at all times, and what's expected is constantly changing.
Run your startup at 0$
Here's a quick guide on how to get a quick prototype of your software startup idea done for 0$.
As a software startup this is VITAL. A lot of people think that since it's just a prototype they can get away with just storing everything on their computers and making changes whenever they want. Wrong. Please, even if it's just you programming in your basement, please set up some kind of versioning system. I prefer git but mercurial is a good solution as well. To be honest, at this stage I'd suggest only one of the two. They're fairly similar, but I have had some problems in the past with mercurial setups on networked drives. The thing with prototypes is that way too often they end up being the core of your final product. Make sure you plan accordingly.
Now that you picked one of those two, head over to BitBucket and set up an account. I'd recommend BitBucket over GitHub because they actually give you free private repositories as well as public ones. You'll find a lot of people say that you "need to host your code on GitHub if you're a programmer". Those people are idiots. GitHub actually runs off git alone – think of it as a fancy front-end to Git. The "social" aspect of GitHub, I find, doesn't really exist. How often do you just scroll through random repositories on GitHub and think "this looks interesting, I'm going to get involved here.". Or do you just follow a link to it? BitBucket OR GitHub doesn't matter – just put the links out there! The nice thing about BitBucket is the free private repo's and you can even add other users to it.
Chances are you already have something you know and love, but incase you're only familiar with things like Visual Studio or PHPStorm my favourite editor is Sublime Text. They give you an unlimited free trial, a feature set that you would be incredibly impressed with from a PAID IDE and a bunch of features that I've never seen before. Their vertical code view is incredibly handy, it's one of the fastest IDE's i've ever used and the top it off – they have a keyboard shortcut for everything.
This is where a lot of people start shelling out money because there aren't too many options out there. Or at least that's how it used to be. You don't need to hunt for those "free shared hosts". It doesn't matter if you're using PHP, Ruby, Node.js or Python there's something for everyone! Heroku will host Ruby, Node.js, Clojure, Java, Python, and Scala. Google App Engine will host Java, Python and Go. All free of charge! Both services give you a subdomain that you can run your app on free of charge.
Depending on your application you'll have a number of things to check out. A big new comer is something like Firebase which is essentially Database-as-a-Service. If you're on Heroku, a bit of research in their app directory will find you a bunch of services with "free" tiers. Since it's just a prototype at this stage, you should have no problem running within the tier and can scale up and pay if it turns out to be useful to you.
The thing with emails is, you need to have a domain name first. You can hop below and check out the Low Cost Domain name solutions if you'd like. But once you have your domain name you have a couple of choices. If you were lucky enough to get in on Google Apps for your domain before they shut down the free tier you can continue to use that. However, if you missed the boat, don't worry – Outlook.com offers a way to use your custom domain name through their service. Here's a little tutorial on how to get that done.
Low Cost Solutions
The "spending no money" bit can realistically only take you so far. Eventually you'll have to fork over some cash to someone.
Domain names
This is something that you'll eventually want to check out. The best known one for cheap domain names is everyones favourite GoDaddy. I'm not going to link to them because I honestly don't like them and wouldn't recommend them to anyone unless they were looking for the cheapest thing they could find. Oddly enough, domain names are where I pay a premium. Instead of GoDaddys sub 10$ offerings, I actually pay around 15$ a domain name through a service called Hover. Occasionally double the price of GoDaddy, I feel the interface and speed of working with Hover is WELL worth the extra charge.
Want control of your own software? Eventually the only option for you might be to rent out a VM. While there are the well-known ones like Linode which will cost about 20$ a month, Microsofts Azure platform will do the same for about 11$. And the best part is that the management interface for Azure is about a 100 times the rest of them. To top if off, you can't effectively argue that Microsoft doesn't know how to handle scale. Between them and AWS they probably offer you the best options in this space. As an added bonus, if you've never signed up for Azure before, do it – they give you a 90 day trial which should be more than enough to get you up and running.
Have any other tips for getting your software startup running for free? Let me know and I can keep this list updated.

WE'VE BEEN WRITING about spring skiing a lot lately - with an amazing mix of blue skies, warm temperatures, and powder days, it's hard not to rave about conditions. But a picture is worth a thousand words, and with the season wrapping up on Sunday, we asked local photographer and Lone Peak High School student Anna Middleton for a spring recap.

Those Deleted Tweets
Monday night, in the wake of the devastating tornado in Oklahoma, John Piper posted two tweets at 11:00pm (CST). Both tweets quoted the first chapter of Job. He first cited Job 1:19, and then Job 1:20, and they were posted together consecutively:
- @JohnPiper: "Your sons and daughters were eating and a great wind struck the house, and it fell upon them, and they are dead." Job 1:19
- @JohnPiper: "Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshiped." Job 1:20
Later he decided to take down both tweets.
Many of you may be unaware these tweets appeared online, but some have made what we think is unfair criticism based on misinformation worth briefly addr…

FHA Loans
What Is an FHA Loan?
An FHA loan is a mortgage loan that is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Essentially, the federal government insures loans for FHA-approved lenders in order to reduce their risk of loss if a borrower defaults on their mortgage payments.
The FHA program was created in response to the rash of foreclosures and defaults that happened in 1930s; to provide mortgage lenders with adequate insurance; and to help stimulate the housing market by making loans accessible and affordable. Nowadays, FHA loans are very popular, especially with first-time home buyers.
What Are the Advantages of FHA Loans?
Typically an FHA loan is one of the easiest types of mortgage loans to qualify for because it requires a low down payment (3.5 percent) and you can have less-than-perfect credit. Borrowers who cannot afford a traditional down payment of 20 percent or can't get approved for private mortgage insurance should look into whether an FHA loan is the best option for their personal scenario. Another advantage of an FHA loan is that it can be assumable, which means if you want to sell your home, the buyer can "assume" the loan you have. People who have low or bad credit, have undergone a bankruptcy or have been foreclosed upon may be able to still qualify for an FHA loan.
What Are the Disadvantages of an FHA Mortgage?
You knew there had to be a catch, and here it is: Because an FHA loan does not have the strict standards of a conventional loan, it requires two kinds of mortgage insurance premiums: one is paid in full upfront — or, it can be financed into the mortgage — and the other is a monthly payment. Also, FHA loans require that the house meet certain conditions and must be appraised by an FHA-approved appraiser.
- Upfront mortgage insurance premium (MIP) — Appropriately named, this is an upfront monthly premium payment, which means borrowers will pay a premium of 1.75 percent of the home loan, regardless of their credit score. This sum can be paid upfront at closing as part of the settlement charges or can be rolled into the mortgage.
- Annual MIP (charged monthly) — Called an annual premium, this is actually a monthly charge that will be figured into your mortgage payment. It is based on a borrower's loan-to-value (LTV) ratio and length of loan.
Single family home mortgages with amortization terms of 15 years or less, and a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 78 percent or less, remain exempt from the annual MIP.
When Will You Stop Paying Mortgage Insurance on an FHA Loan?
- For mortgages with terms more than 15 years: The MIP can drop if two conditions are met: 5 years have passed and the remaining balance on the loan is 78 percent of the value of the property.
- For mortgages with terms 15 years and less: You are not required to pay MIP for 5 years. The MIP will stop when the LTV ratio reaches 78 percent - no matter what length of time the borrower has paid the MIP.
- For mortgages with terms 15 years and less and with LTV ratios of 89.99 percent and less: You will not be charged MIP. However, an FHA loan might not be the best option for you if you can afford a 20 percent down payment.
Qualifications and Requirements for an FHA Loan
- Must have a steady employment history or worked for the same employer for the past two years
- Must have a valid Social Security number, lawful residency in the U.S. and be of legal age to sign a mortgage in your state
- Must make a minimum down payment of 3.5 percent. The money can be gifted by a family member.
- New FHA loans are only available for primary residence occupancy
- Must have a property appraisal from a FHA-approved appraiser
- Your front-end ratio (mortgage payment plus HOA fees, property taxes, mortgage insurance, home insurance) needs to be less than 31 percent of your gross income, typically. You may be able to get approved with as high a percentage as 46.99 percent. Your lender will be required to provide justification as to why they believe the mortgage presents an acceptable risk. The lender must include any compensating factors used for loan approval.
- Your back-end ratio (mortgage plus all your monthly debt, i.e., credit card payment, car payment, student loans, etc.) needs to be less than 43 percent of your gross income, typically. You may be able to get approved with as high a percentage as 56.99 percent. Your lender will be required to provide justification as to why they believe the mortgage presents an acceptable risk. The lender must include any compensating factors used for loan approval.
- Minimum credit score of 580 for maximum financing with a minimum down payment of 3.5 percent.
- Minimum credit score of 500-579 for maximum LTV of 90 percent with a minimum down payment of 10 percent.
- Typically you must be two years out of bankruptcy and have re-established good credit. Exceptions can be made if you are out of bankruptcy for more than one year if there were extenuating circumstances beyond your control that caused the bankruptcy and you've managed your money in a responsible manner. See this page for more details: http://portal.hud.gov/FHAFAQ/controllerServlet?method=showPopup&faqId=1-6KT-188
- Typically you must be three year out of foreclosure and have re-established good credit. Exceptions can be made if there were extenuating circumstances and you've improved your credit. If you were unable to sell your home because you had to move to a new area, this does not qualify as an exception to the three-year foreclosure guideline.
Property needs to meet certain standards: Also, an FHA loan requires that a property meet certain minimum standards at appraisal. If the home you are purchasing does not meet these standards and a seller will not agree to the required repairs, your only option is to pay for the required repairs at closing (to be held in escrow until the repairs are complete).
How Large of an FHA Loan Can I Get?
There are maximum mortgage limits for FHA loans that vary by state and county. In certain counties, you may be able to get financing for a loan size up to $729,750 with a 3.5 percent down payment. Conventional financing for loans that can be bought by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac are currently at $625,000.

There was no court hearing Monday afternoon, as scheduled, in the case filed by Albert Crowley against Republican candidate Donna Johnson, the Chesterfield County Republican Party, the South Carolina Republican Party and the Chesterfield County Elections Commission. Crowley's lawsuit claims Republican candidates were not properly certified and asks their names to be removed from the November ballot.
A Motion to Dismiss that lawsuit was promptly filed and the hearing was set for Aug. 27 at 2 p.m.
"We received a call Monday morning," said Johnson, "saying that Crowley's lawyer had been called to active duty with the United States Coast Guard; to help with the hurricane in Louisiana." Tropical storm Isaac was building to hurricane strength midweek as it headed for the Gulf states.
Johnson, a Chesterfield County Council candidate in District 7, said, "They simply said the hearing was postponed and that's the only reason we were given."
Deadlines have already passed for sending certified candidate names to be printed on Overseas and absentee ballots.
"As far as we know, we were properly certified and our names will be on the ballot," said Johnson. "I guess we'll wait and see what else happens."

The Craftsman 54 pc. speed-lok power driving set is a very good assortment for the price paid. The peices are great along with the case they come in. There is an assortment of 1 in to 2 in bits as well as nutsetters. Also has many small bits for just about everthing you need for household projects. I comes with a quick connector and a very nive magnetic bit holder. This set is good cause when you have a project that has many different screws this case has them all and you can bring them all to the project.
I purchased the 54 Piece Craftsman Power Driving Set for Christmas. I made the mistake of ordering it online for an instore pick up. The first day my husband used it (which was 1 week after purchase and 3 days after Christmas) the bits started breaking after one use. My husband tried to return it to exchange it for a different set, and the store refused to return it or exchange it. I called the Sears 800 number to inquire why when it was with in 30 days of purchase and they were obviously defective. They stated they do no return opened product even if it is defective. I was hung up on 3 times and finally went to the online chat to where after 30 minutes with them, stated they would email me a return to factor shipping label and would refund me the money after receipt of product. That was a week ago and I have yet to receive this product. I purchased my husband over 500.00 in Craftman tools for Christmas this year because of the name and my father always purchased Craftman. I asked if this was going to be the policy of all the tools I purchased and the representative said yes. I will never again buy a Craftsman tool hand tool or power. Nor will I purchase from Sears again. This is why they are going out of business, poor return policies and lack of character when it comes to backing the product they sell.

Great little kit for the price (got it on sale). I wish the easy lock had a better spring action to it (like an air compressor connection), but it works (with bits designed to be locked, not just straight bits).

I ?m a Craftsman tool supporter of thirty plus years, and I don?t make a habit of writing reviews, however I felt compelled to do so. In the past few years the quality of the Craftsman line has dramatically degraded. And this set is just another example. The case is really sturdy and well organized. The bits are of average quality while the quick change chuck is so poorly made that the bit barley stays in it. I have four other quick change chucks from various manufactures including HF, and all are far superior to the one in this set. I bought this set at half off the normal price, if full price would have been paid I would have returned it for a refund. This is just another reason SEARS is failing. Sacrificing the future of the Craftsman brand by the selling of inferior high profit margin Chinese made tools. (Which can be purchased at any of the local Home Center stores). Come on SEARS wake up!! ?? Don?t kill off the only SEARS Brand that still has any life left in it. It?s not too late to turn this around.

Netstal at the Medtec in Stuttgart, DE 13 - 15 March 2012
At the Medtec Netstal demonstrates its systems and applications competence in medical products
The ELION 1750 is perfectly suitable for use in the clean room - highest precision and energy saving
(Näfels, 08 February 2012) The demands on the equipment manufacturers as regards cleanness, precision, short cycle times and lowest material consumption are particularly high where plastic mouldings for medicine are concerned. At the international trade fair Medtec in Stuttgart/Germany (13 to 15 March 2012) Netstal presents its all-electric ELION 1750, an injection moulding machine which meets these expectations thanks to high-grade technology and economically efficient engineering solutions. The ELION is particularly suitable for the production of clean parts in the clean room on the basis of internationally applicable guidelines.
ELION: Highest precision and energy saving with ELION 1750
"The fully electrically driven ELION is outstandingly suitable for operation in the clean room. It produces sterile and clean plastic parts with a high precision, the highest purity and at shortest cycle times in compliance with all regulations. The customer gets an excellent mechanical engineering product and, thanks to our systems and applications competence, achieves a high economic solution standard", explains Adrian Landolt, Manager of Business Unit MED. At the Medtec Netstal shows its ELION 1750-530 with a medical moulding that is typical for this model range. A 48-cavity mould made by the Swiss mouldmaker Schöttli AG produces 1ml receptacles in a polypropylene of the Borealis company at a cycle of just under 8 seconds. Raw material feeding is in the care of the German Motan company. "The ELION features encapsulated and water-cooled electric motors so that a virtually emission-free operation is guaranteed. Moreover, the processor benefits from the machine's low energy consumption", says Landolt. The applied recovery principle means that braking energy is fed back to the power circuit for supply to further consumers on the machine. Efficiently used, up to 70% of the energy can be saved compared with conventional drive systems. "These savings enable our customers to produce more efficiently in the longer term", adds Landolt.

The Elsie Quarterman Cedar Glade is a 185-acre natural area in Rutherford County. It is a part of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) Percy Priest Reservoir and is also managed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency as a Wildlife Management Area. The natural area is contiguous with USACOE land to the north and south, and the lake is the west boundary. The natural area is significant because it protects a globally rare cedar glade and is a recovery site for the federally endangered Tennessee coneflower (Echinacea tennesseensis).
A very large cedar glade characterized by limestone outcropping and extremely shallow soil is a prominent feature here. A small number of barrens occur intermittently where deeper soils support perennial grasses like little bluestem and side oats grama. A cedar-hardwood forest can be seen on the south part of the natural area. Some glade plants or endemics associated with this glade include limestone fame-flower (Talinum calcaricum), Tennessee milk-vetch (Astragalus tennesseensis) and glade onion (Allium stellatum). Seeds from a population of Tennessee coneflower from private land were planted here in 1989 to aid in the recovery of this very rare species. These seeds were taken from an unprotected population of Tennessee coneflower. Major colonies of the four other populations are protected in state natural areas.
This natural area is named in honor of Dr. Elsie Quarterman, professor Emeritus of Vanderbilt University. Dr. Quarterman pioneered cedar glade research in the early 1950's and did much research at this site. She has been an advocate for natural area protection throughout her distinguished career. Her efforts helped Tennessee in 1971 become one of the first states to pass legislation to protect natural areas in the U.S.

Light emitting diodes aligned in a form of matrix constitute a dot matrix display. It is commonly used to display time, temperature, news updates and many more on digital billboards. Dot Matrix Display is manufactured in various dimensions like 5x7, 8x9, 128x16, 128x32 and 128x64 where the numbers represent LEDs in rows and columns, respectively.Arrangement of the LEDs in the matrix pattern is made in either of the two ways: row anode-column cathode or row cathode-column anode.
In row anode-column cathode pattern, the entire row is anode while all columns serve as cathode and vice-versa pattern is there in row cathode-column anode. LED wafers are glued to the bottom of the segments and glow when powered ON. The interesting part is that 35 LEDs are controlled by using a combination of 14 pins. Conductor tracks are laid all over the board to power each LED. Let's proceed to know in depth about how a dot matrix display works.
Everything in today's digital devices world is becoming a touch away. Whether it is filling an early morning coffee mug or setting the timer for washing
machine or turning ON the display of your PC.Capacitive Touch Technology is widely used in touch sensing devices. Less time response and environment adaptive features made it popular between the manufacturers. Some more applications are water purifiers, kitchen appliances, vending machines and switches.
Most of us have surely come across capacitive touch sensor in our day to day life but how many of us thought about the working principle behind it.Change in capacitance is used to sense the touch in capacitive display. Amazed? How can a two metal plate component which stores charge can sense the touch? Answer to the above question will be explored in this Insight.
In current technology scenario, monitoring of gases produced is very important. From home appliances such as air conditioners to electric chimneys and safety
systems at industries monitoring of gases is very crucial. Gas sensors are very important part of such systems. Small like a nose, gas sensors spontaneously react to the gas present, thus keeping the system updated about any alterations that occur in the concentration of molecules at gaseous state.
Gas sensors are available in wide specifications depending on the sensitivity levels, type of gas to be sensed, physical dimensions and numerous other factors. This Insight covers a methane gas sensor that can sense gases such as ammonia which might get produced from methane. When a gas interacts with this sensor, it is first ionized into its constituents and is then adsorbed by the sensing element. This adsorption creates a potential difference on the element which is conveyed to the processor unit through output pins in form of current. What is this sensing element? Is it kept in some chamber or is kept exposed? How does it get current and how it is taken out? Let's find out in this Insight!!!

Patients were more likely to take a rapid HIV test when substance abuse treatment programs offered the test onsite rather than referred for offsite testing. Patients were equally likely to accept and learn their HIV status whether the offer of onsite testing was accompanied by 30 minutes of risk reduction counseling or by 5 minutes of brief information on the testing procedure. Onsite testing accompanied by brief information was cost effective, taking into account the projected lifetime costs of treatment and the gains in health and longevity for detected cases.
February 2013
Despite the advances in treatment and prevention, roughly 50,000 new HIV infections still occur annually in the Nation. Research, in large part supported by NIDA, has produced a strategy to address this circumstance and break the epidemiological impasse: seek out HIV-infected individuals, particularly those in "hard-to-reach" groups that have minimal contact with the health care system; offer them HIV testing and treatment; and provide support to help them stay in treatment.

Member Of A National Crime Ring Arrested In Austin
Driver beware!
Police say a national crime ring is making its way across the country. The so-called "felony lane" group is from Florida but is now targeting people in Cedar Park and Austin.
According to Austin police, the thieves use stolen rental cars to case their unsuspecting victims.
Rebecca Holleman is a serious shopper.
"Two to three times a week," said Holleman.
That's how often you can find Holleman shopping for a bargain.
"I just bought some things and tossed them in the back but I always lock my door," added Holleman.
But locking the door isn't enough to keep a calculated crook from breaking into your car.
"The aim of the group is to conduct quick auto burglaries right after someone gets out of a vehicle and goes in some place," said Cedar Park Police Chief Sean Mannix.
That group is known by police as "felony lane." Mannix is familiar with the Florida crew - and the way they roll.
"They'll use a rental car they didn't rent in their name," said Mannix.
Using victim's stolen information.
"Everything somebody needs to be you," added Mannix.
Mannix believes they use rental cars so cops have a difficult time identifying who the driver is.
Gary Smith doesn't seem phased.
"It's not like I have purse or anything like that," said Smith.
It's not just women's purses they're stealing. Yesterday, Austin police arrested a man - they say - is part of the felony lane group. Inside his Austin-area motel room, cops seized numerous stolen credit cards, driver's licenses, social security cards and check books.
That's enough to shake some sense into savvy shoppers like Holleman.
"If I bought something expensive it goes in the trunk," said Holleman.
The suspect has been identified by Austin police as James Davis of Florida. The rental car he was busted in was also rented in Florida. He's being held on $25,000 bond.

Absolutely horrible
is it bad that I can figure out where ELI will throw the ball before he even snaps it?
Holy ****, I must be a ****ing physic because I knew that was going to happen five minutes before it did.
My home town was carved out of swampland.
This is ****ing terrible
Im going to lose my mind... Why can't they get off the field on 3rd down?
This is ridiculous
HTTR--------- Unbelievably Believable
Easy 3rd down conversion. This is going to be a long game if we don't do something to get pressure.
No pass rush when they hold, Gruden
let me ask you something is Eli a good QB or he has all day to do this.
I agree with Gruden, we need a freaking pass rush !
Le sigh....just no pressure, but they can't do anything about it being so depleted
Attitude. I like it!
"Tarnish notte the majesty of my TOWER OF HATS!"

Get Ready for A Wave of Gnostic Looniness Once Again
09/18/2012 - James White
Remember the Gospel of Judas a few years ago? Yeah, most people don't. It was one of the last "Look, the Gnostics were a bunch of heretics, let's call them Christians and say Christianity is silly" waves that was sponsored by a major institution with hundreds of thousands of dollars to burn in the never ending campaign to attack the Christian faith. Well, looks like the 2012 version has arrived courtesy of the Queen of Gnostic Looniness, Karen King.Click here for the story.
Karen King makes her money writing books attacking Christianity based upon digging up the same gnostic myths rejected and refuted long, long ago. Just do a quick look on her name on Amazon. Some of her real winners include The Gospel of Mary Magdala: Jesus and the First Woman Apostle (2003), What is Gnosticism? (2005), and Reading Judas: The Gospel of Judas and the Shaping of Christianity (2007) co-authored with the other Queen of Gnostic silliness, Elaine Pagels. As you can see, she makes her shoe fund money digging the gnostics out of their graves and propping up their inane stories. But, that's what the media craves, and so, here we go again. Get ready, and be prepared to explain that gnostics were not Christians, for anyone who thinks the God of Abraham was an evil deity or that Jesus did not have a physical body is not, was not, and never will be, a Christian. Period. Just a heads up.

Side by Side Chairs by Twodesigners
Urban world is very static and has not very much fantasy in it. Usual furniture is created using the same principles as it used in the previous centuries. "Twodesigners" gives us possibility to diversify our environment, to invent other purposes for simple things. This project took part of Cork city culture 2010. Eleban – the "side by side chairs" – is rather simple and encouraging to fantasize construction. Looking at this construction the desire to rotate it and to invent different missions for it appears. This chair is rather transportable and can be placed both indoors and outdoors. The connection of several chairs can be used as airport chairs or in another public places.

Clowes, Lindsay; Lazarus, Sandy; Ratele, Kopano (Medical Research Council, Tygerberg, 2010)[more][less]
Abstract: This article reports on a study that sought to elicit the views of male university students on risk and protective factors to male interpersonal violence. The participants were 116 third-year students who participated in a final year research project in the Women's and Gender Studies (WGS) Programme at the University of Western Cape (UWC). Each of the students conducted six semistructured face to face interviews with male students. Following initial analyses of the interviews, a video-recorded class discussion was held to discuss the research findings. The data from the class discussion was captured under the four levels of individual, relationship, community and society, utilised by the World Health organization (WHO) in its World Health Report on Violence and Health. The analysis of the class discussion and the students' own research reports revealed that at the individual level, risk and protective factors primarily revolve around the challenges of constructing a viable masculinity in specific social and economic contexts; at the relationship level, the key factors appear to be the experiences and expectations around gender roles and family dynamics; at the community level, it seems that weak or non-existent community networks and activities feed into increasing the risk of male community members becoming involved in violence. Each of these three levels needs to be understood against the historically specific backdrop of the societal ecological level: the gendered cultural values expressed in and reflectedby the wider social, economic and political contexts.

Bhana, Deevia; Clowes, Lindsay; Morrell, Robert; Shefer, Tamara (Agenda Feminist Media, 2008)[more][less]
Abstract: Since the promulgation of the South African Schools Act in 1996 it has become illegal to exclude pregnant girls from school. Influenced by feminist research, policy has sought to assist pregnant girls and young parents to continue and complete their schooling on the understanding that having children often terminates school-going limiting future employment and work opportunities. This paper seeks to examine how the new policy has been understood and implemented. We focus on the views and experiences of principals and teachers as they are the authorities at school with the responsibility for ensuring that the policy is implemented. The paper draws on qualitative data collected by a larger study on being and becoming a parent at diverse group of schools in Kwazulu-Natal and the Western Cape. In the paper we investigate the extent to which schools' responses to pregnancy and parenting reflect and/or reproduce normative gender roles and practices with respect to schooling and parenting in contemporary South Africa. We show also that despite familiar stereotypes about young parents and pregnancy, both teachers and principals take their pastoral responsibilities seriously. They do care and do try to help. But many teachers were judgemental and moralistic particularly in response to young girls. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/151 Files in this item: 1
