Myth of the Flat Fee
You made a deal with someone to build you a website. Best of all: you agreed on a flat fee! You're getting everything you want, because that's what your vendor promised you. Guess what? It's not going to happen. You fell for the Myth of the Flat Fee.
Tapir, a static website search engine
A few weeks ago Jeff came up with the idea for a search engine for static sites (like his own). Together with Robert & Ivana (who designed the logo) Tapir was developed. It indexes your blog posts based on an RSS-feed.
Your idea is worthless
You don't get rich over an idea. Execution is what counts, what makes money and brings value to the table. Pretty much any idea that has the potential of actually being executed is not unique. Our ideas are always based on other ideas. We only think of a web app that can do X because others paved the road before us.
Slides for my presentation at Fronteers
Yesterday we organized a Fronteers-meetup where roughly 60 people attended. Vasilis van Gemert had a great talk about adaptive design using media queries and I spoke about front-end meta languages like Haml, Sass (+ Compass) and CoffeeScript. The slides are now up on SlideShare. Read the full post for some (small) corrections.
