RIP Aaron. You will be missed.


Interesting. Could you please post details on what your day to day meals are like when you were on this schedule? Foods you must eat and some you had to avoid. I'm sure others are curious about this as well.


If you're a Linux user, try out tasque + gnome-do w/ tasque plugin + remember the milk screenlet. This is how I manage to sync all my GTD throughout my computers and laptop on the go.

Klok time management software. I like know how much time I'm spending on each project/task. This can be sync'd between machines using rsync but with a small catch. Hopefully they can get some real syncing features built in. And yes, I know it's a memory hog but I like the layout.

Oh and powerresizer for Windows, great tool to have if you have to manage window sizing on 1 screen.


Someone should make a movie script about this guy!


As low-brow (or pop-cultural) as this comment might be, I can't help but make the analogy: repo men are the modern day ninja. Being a ninja was never about martial arts; it was about subterfuge, and about protecting the assets of your lord by any means necessary. In the modern age, the lords are the banks.


From what I recall, being a ninja was about being sneaky and undignified enough to succeed. Being a ninja was about dressing up as a gardener so nobody would suspect that you were about to shiv them with an abnormally pointy trowel. Being a ninja was about setting off firecrackers as a distraction -- people assume that explosions are important, and ninjas knew this. Being a ninja was about hiding in an outhouse so you could assassinate some dude from inside of his toilet (holy shit!). Ninjas were clever bastards, not necessarily badasses.


A reality show about a regular repo man is apparently quite popular among spanish-speaking tv viewers: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1045974...


Tom Wolfe wrote a book called "A Man in Full" that had a very similar character. He said that the formerly wealthy hang on to their private jets harder than anything else. They even went as far as creating fake airline stubs for debt collection meetings to act like they were flying commercial. Quite entertaining.


I was just thinking that, or maybe a TV series. This is great stuff. It reminds me of Catch Me If You Can.


I was thinking there's a pretty good Stephenson novella here.


I have to say it's the lab features. With all the cool addon features you can enable on the fly. Canned responses and Undo features is the top 2 I can't live without.


make random things. use your creative side and have fun with it. I do it all the time when I'm struggling with a problem or taking a short break.


Question, do you guys support h264 with AAC? I'm in the DS industry myself and tested over half a dozen apps based in the NA market.


YES, we support H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, AAC and HE-AAC (a.k.a AAC SBR), MP4 file format. All this formats are parts of the ISO MPEG-4 standard.

not sure if this is a design issue but from "Who did you build CloudFire for?" to "Do people that want to access my media need to download anything?" is indented and bolded. While from "Do people need a login to access my media?" to "I have a ton of stuff, will my broadband connection be enough?" is not indented and displaying regular font size.


Very nice.. I've been looking for something like this. Keep up the good work ;)
