BTW, @cloudsupport was great - they took care of the kernel update and were quick. Not a production server, but they treated it like one.

From Zero to a Million Users

Xobni and Dropbox, two highly successful VC-backed ventures, had an impressive growth in their users within a fairly short period of time (2 million users within 2 years).  Adam Smith of Xobni has a presentation discussing some many of the lessons learned from the experience of these two startups.

First time doing Habitat for Humanity yesterday. Had a great time, though I’m sore today! I did some framing and put up sheetrock

Twitter posts should be importing now

Not sure why, but my Twitter updates stopped being imported to my Tumblr site.  Hopefully they will again now.

Chrome for the Mac is nice but I don’t like using something that’s an afterthought and crippled (no extensions).

Trying out Chrome for the Mac. It’ll take a lot for me to switch from Safari though.
