Funny idea for registrations visualisation. A queue waiting to get entrance into the platform.
Just saw this on Graph.me. I don’t know what they are doing exactly, but i really like the idea.

Dave Winer criticized the behavior of the FriendFeed guys towards Robert Scoble:

For the last couple of years he’s committed himself to the success of FriendFeed. It’s really been awful to see how much he promotes it. All the time, as I watch, I’m thinking — “Those guys are going to screw him.”
[...]
All the effort he poured into FriendFeed is for naught. They sold to Facebook. In the announcements, no mention of the users, and certainly no mention of Scoble. Now would have been the time for them to tip him, throw him a few thousand. Or if not money, how about at least a hat-tip — an acknowledgement of the help they received from users, esp Robert Scoble. Nothing. They didn’t even give him the first interview.

That’s really bad if you are dependent on e-mails in just that moment. For example if you are using Google Mail in your company through Google Apps.

Ok, there are of course other disadvantages like e.g. privacy. :)

There are different voices out there:

We hear Yahoo is in talks to buy Tumblr, a blogging startup run by 22-year-old David Karp for “low-to-mid eight figures” — which would translate to a small fortune for the New York entrepreneur. (read more @ valleywag.gawker.com)

[...] David denied his story and Owen said, “He also told me Tumblr’s buying Yahoo, so I don’t know whether we should believe his denial, either.” (read more @ businessinsider.com)

The year 2038 problem (also known as “Unix Millennium bug”, or “Y2K38″ by analogy to the Y2K problem) may cause some computer software to fail before or in the year 2038. The problem affects all software and systems that store system time as a signed 32-bit integer, and interpret this number as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970.

To solve this problem i needed to install the php5-dev package

sudo apt-get install php5-dev
