harpersfriends.com is built to be as real time as possible using some really neat tools. I am using Django App Engine Patch on Google App Engine for the application. The application is fed by a Pubsubhubbub hub ran by Superfeedr.com.
Superfeedr.com handles all the feed polling and when there is an update, notifies the pubsubhubbub hub which then pushes the content to app engine. It is awesome. NO POLLING (well superfeedr does - but not us )
If you would like to know more about this set up - email harper@nata2.org.

joestump: Hanging out at some random dive bar.
joestump: Drinking a beer with @indefensible.
joestump: Hanging at Iron Cactus on the roof with @chrislea and others.
joestump: That being said, whomever scheduled @monstro, @parislemon, @mickipedia, @Kate8, and I's panel for 5PM clearly knew what they were doing.
joestump: Definitely going to be attending @Werner's panel on building serverless businesses. It's 11AM on the 16th!
joestump: @boagworld That's a damn shame. DON'T THEY KNOW WHO YOU ARE?!
joestump: @rodpaddock Where is here? I have a panel at 5PM on the 16th on turnkey mapping solutions.
joestump: Am I the only one looking at the 9:30AM panels at @sxsw and thinking, "Hrm. I think not."
joestump: You know who I like? Pays for my drinks on his expense account guy. (via @indefensible)
joestump: Nice to see Thai bamboo tattoos getting some attention. http://bit.ly/aKxAKt My left arm was done in Thailand! http://bit.ly/ahMEmF
joestump: @amacdonald Hahaha! Not if you're a tattoo aficionado. :)
joestump: At Ginger Man with the rest of the @laughingsquid fanboys. I even wore my shirt!
joestump: @kressaty we ended up getting food. Going to the Buffalo across from the Iron Cactus for drinks.
joestump: RT @shafferj: From @TechCrunch, "Hot Potato Tosses A New Site, API, And iPhone App With Foursquare Integration At You" -- http://tcrn.ch ...
joestump: Heading to the Buffalo on 6th for drinks soon.
joestump: @kressaty I'm at the Driskell. We'll be at the bar at the hotel in about 10 minutes.
joestump: Who would like to buy my first beer?
joestump: Who would like to buy my first beer?
joestump: Server issues seem to be fixed. Moral of the story is Nginx > Apache.
joestump: Server issues seem to be fixed. Moral of the story is Nginx > Apache.
joestump: @alex_gaynor The JSON/AJAX is, but caches heavily and backed by a twisted daemon. Long story.
joestump: @alex_gaynor The JSON/AJAX is, but caches heavily and backed by a twisted daemon. Long story.
joestump: We're stoked to announce that we just launched http://vicarious.ly so you can see what's up at SXSW in real time. (via @simplegeoinc)
joestump: @waze http://bit.ly/buAX2v
joestump: @Aubs @sacca @UnitedAirlines rules. I fly them almost exclusively. They have a high quality to price ratio in my opinion.
joestump: Just added a @stickybitinc to my carryon luggage. Plan on scanning it at each airport to get tracks of my travels!
joestump: Just pushed python-oauth2 1.1.0 http://bit.ly/do2uuS Fixes bugs with GET arguments in URLs. My thanks to @admp for the fix/tests!
joestump: @1worldconnects We should be okay with being passed an empty/missing properties. Was it just because properties was a list instead of dict?
joestump: @strebel I know.
joestump: @awilkinson @joehewitt Most coders I know are happy to share, distribute, give away, and otherwise duplicate code. Not so much w/ designers.
joestump: @awilkinson @joehewitt I think this is indicative of the differences in philosophies between designers and coders.
joestump: @julien51 Just for @tweetimages.
joestump: I heard from @twitter today that our API limit was drastically increased. Green avatars should be greatly reduced! (via @tweetimages)
joestump: Check out my old school setup circa 2001. http://flic.kr/p/7JT7fY
joestump: I'm at Goodwill and they have a leopard print snuggie in the women's lingerie section.
joestump: First follower to refer a Dynect Platform DNS opp to us via DM gets a DYN prison jumpsuit! http://bit.ly/bEAIjz (via @DynInc) WANT!
joestump: @dirs Yup. Still having issues. They've *sworn* that a deployment will go out today increasing our limit to 100,000 an hour.
joestump: @thekurt I downloaded it today!
joestump: @indefensible Canabalt
joestump: @indefensible I hope you and your liver have been preparing themselves.
joestump: @AntiFreeze Weird. You ended up in the DB. Works on our end too. You've been assimilated though!
joestump: Just pushed 1.0.9 of python-oauth2. http://bit.ly/auzYnz Supports multipart/form-data and better oauth_verifier support.
joestump: Oh MAN!! Our party at SXSW just keeps getting better and better. Come out & join us: http://geoba.sh (via @greggrunberg)
joestump: Just got our http://stickybits.com stickers at @simplegeoinc! I attached a "Please return my phone" video to a sticker on my phone.
joestump: @tswicegood Sorry about that! Looking forward to the patch. I do know POST works, but I've been doing it with a raw JSON body.
joestump: @spiky_simon Yeah, they're my favorites. I've seen them a few times. Can't wait to see them again!
joestump: @tswicegood It should work with anything that httplib2 works with. Happy to accept patches though.
joestump: Just booked tickets for Miike Snow, Ok Go!, and Frightened Rabbit this spring in Denver. Yay!
joestump: Want to see how #StickyBits implemented @simplegeoinc? Check it out here: http://youtu.be/gBfTWEfOGrs (via @mg)
joestump: @dkr I think someone you know is working on that already. ;)
joestump: @keithelder Now that I'm not in Seattle that's probably true. It's like spring break for nerds!
joestump: Little known fact is that @simplegeoinc was born at @sxsw last year. http://bit.ly/cMkqcb (via @mager)
joestump: @spangley It might be a Pacific Northwest thing. Most people in Portland refer to the city as "PDX".
joestump: Absolutely loving @panic's status board. http://bit.ly/bwqS0a (via @gruber)
joestump: This is pretty epic. http://bit.ly/9lQ8eP
joestump: @mahrko You should follow @tweetimages. I've been covering this there. http://bit.ly/bQKRYr
joestump: @mahrko What plugin?
joestump: @arjunram Depends I guess. If your queue sizes are small and your consumers are not on the box it might be fine.
joestump: Wrote up our thoughts at @simplegeoinc on the inevitable language wars. http://bit.ly/aMdivs (via @simplegeoinc)
joestump: @rabble Absolutely amazing pictures. Thanks so much for sharing and congrats again!
joestump: @jonathan_lukens Not yet. Focusing on getting the core product out and then moving from there. We do have reverse-geocoding though.
joestump: Really looking forward to seeing my SF friends in Austin. Also, margaritas with @boagworld and my EU friends!
joestump: Just pushed python-oauth2 1.0.8 to PyPi. http://bit.ly/aO9XB5 Now includes support for Python 2.4. Added Twitter login + Django example!
joestump: @garrenkatz Talk about stepping up your game!
joestump: So proud that a woman has finally won Best Director and Best Picture, and that the movie she made featured huge explosions. (via @gruber)
joestump: @Werner Here's a story from 2005 that describes Amazon having done the same thing. http://bit.ly/FkoRO
joestump: @Werner I seem to recall Amazon doing similar pricing experiments a few years back.
joestump: @Poshy I'll be in Toronto in May as well speaking at a conference.
joestump: I simply want to be successful, despite my choices which easily imply otherwise. (via @roughdiction)
joestump: Working at @simplegeoinc with @dsmitts, @jlongtine, and @wadey on some final touches before some big announcements this week.
joestump: Have you RSVP'd for the @simplegeoinc party at @sxsw? No? What are you waiting for? http://geoba.sh/
joestump: OH: "How close is your party to your hotel? Because I don't want to have to lug a passed out you any further than absolutely necessary."
joestump: In case you were wondering what to get me for my birthday ... http://bit.ly/7OfrFa
joestump: @addisonkowalski No problem! Looking forward to beers at @sxsw. I turn 30 there! EEEEEEEEK!
joestump: Just bought @addisonkowalski's album People Mover. Only $4.95! http://bit.ly/9MusVR
joestump: @ElaineEllis joe -at- simplegeo -dot- com Thanks!
joestump: Twitter is the new recruiting tool. @shafferj has a coder *onsite* four hours after I tweeter that he needed help.
joestump: @z HA! Totally why everyone is coming. No presents required. Beer and hot women are acceptable. ;)
joestump: @cwoodruff Yeah, introduce us over email!
joestump: @raffi I think that's an inherent trait in all engineers. My dad owned a construction company when I was growing up. I feel you.
joestump: A new record! 6.6 million avatars served up yesterday! (via @tweetimages)
joestump: My buddy @shafferj is looking for a good all-around developer in NYC/Brooklyn for 1-2 weeks of work. Python/Django, JavaScript, CSS, oh my!
joestump: @timbray I thought they expanded until they could send and receive email.
joestump: Thanks for alm the well wishes, but I don't turn 30 until March 15th. They're throwing a bunch of parties for me in Austin I hear.
joestump: @kastner I think PHP is a hairy enough language.
joestump: Of the things I miss about SF, the thing I miss most is @frankchu. http://bit.ly/9qPWre
joestump: @indefensible Have you seen his new show Community? It's pretty fucking awesome. Abed is fucking rad.
joestump: @betaCooking Uh oh. What did I do now?!
joestump: @bryanthatcher Oh, sorry. I turn 30 on the 15th. I'm a Pisces for sure though. :)
joestump: This is some crazy shit. http://bit.ly/9NsBfc
joestump: "When I walk beside her I am a better man. When I look to leave her I always stagger back again." http://bit.ly/2Az7oB
joestump: According to Nagios a load of 386 is bad. Who knew?
joestump: @dooce "Nothing is more important than sex. Except maybe Radiohead." I read that as "Except maybe road head." @blurb might agree.
joestump: Current and henceforth perpetual status: http://bit.ly/bJsHdp (via @al3x)
joestump: @garrenkatz As it should be at 17.
joestump: @alecmgo I'm interested in chatting with you. You have an email I could contact you at?
joestump: @bmccoelho RabbitMQ shat its pants on its own. Crashed hard. We tried to restart and Mnesia DB was corrupted.
joestump: @bmccoelho We're running exchanges and queues on the same server so we're not entirely sure.
joestump: In case anyone was wondering the combination of Ganglia and Nagios is, quite frankly, fucking awesome.
joestump: @monadic Sweet. Would love to chat with you guys. Sticking with RabbitMQ, but have some questions. :)
joestump: @asksol I'm not new to queues. Well aware of what needs to be done. This pants crapping showed up under load testing.
joestump: @asksol We monitor via Gangalia and Nagios. Just didn't expect to have to *wipe* the Mnesia DB when it crapped it's pants. Not good.
joestump: @brianlmoon That was sarcasm. ;)
joestump: Language wars at @simplegeoinc tonight. Erlang! No, Scala! No, Java! No, Perl! No, Jython! I'm putting my money on PHP. (via @simplegeoinc)
joestump: Language wars at @simplegeoinc tonight. Erlang! No, Scala! No, Java! No, Perl! No, Jython! I'm putting my money on PHP. (via @simplegeoinc)
joestump: @rabble YAY! Congrats!
joestump: @rabble YAY! Congrats!
joestump: @metapandava I have log files.
joestump: @metapandava I have log files.
joestump: @metapandava I have log files.
joestump: It's 10:30PM and most of the @simplegeoinc team is in IRC debugging RabbitMQ and ELB issues. We're also laughing at @TFLN. #startuplife

joestump: @janl Welcome to the wonderfully strange world that is the Bay Area.
joestump: @janl Welcome to the wonderfully strange world that is the Bay Area.
joestump: I plan on complaining, loudly, to the Amazon ELB team in a few weeks when I meet them.
joestump: I plan on complaining, loudly, to the Amazon ELB team in a few weeks when I meet them.
joestump: I've become totally addicted to @courtstarr's iPhone game, Skeemo (http://bit.ly/skeemo). Highly recommend you check it out!
joestump: I've become totally addicted to @courtstarr's iPhone game, Skeemo (http://bit.ly/skeemo). Highly recommend you check it out!
joestump: How to quantify 10 billion tweets on Twitter: http://t.cnet.com/14m (via @mager)
joestump: @paltman Do you pay to drive down those roads you took to work? They're socialized. Considered a basic right for society/population.
joestump: @paltman Huh. We give roads away for free. Roads are a basic human right in the US. #wtf #iampayingattention
joestump: @paltman Huh. We give roads away for free. Roads are a basic human right in the US. #wtf #iampayingattention
joestump: @rockstarmode I ride a bike. Please send me a check for those roads you drive on that I pay for.
joestump: @rockstarmode I ride a bike. Please send me a check for those roads you drive on that I pay for.
joestump: I'm ashamed that the US doesn't consider being healthy a basic human right. Even more embarrassed we value war over education.
joestump: I'm ashamed that the US doesn't consider being healthy a basic human right. Even more embarrassed we value war over education.
joestump: @CynthiaAnnLou Haha! Thanks. I took a leisurely ride into the office today in Boulder. Good stuff.
joestump: @CynthiaAnnLou Haha! Thanks. I took a leisurely ride into the office today in Boulder. Good stuff.
joestump: @kauf Haha! Thanks. Yeah, great work on your end. Let me know if you ever leave Quicken.
joestump: @kauf Haha! Thanks. Yeah, great work on your end. Let me know if you ever leave Quicken.
joestump: @keithelder Tell him I love his work. Top notch design there.

joestump: @keithelder That design is absolutely fantastic. Who did it?
joestump: @rabble I'm rooting for you guys. Hope all turns out well!
joestump: @rabble I'm rooting for you guys. Hope all turns out well!
joestump: Great post by @rich_wong on mobile fragmentation. http://tcrn.ch/d5kCJJ Rich really knows his stuff.
joestump: "Good ideas are meant to spread." -- @gruber
joestump: You know you've got a winner on your hands when your users ask you if they can pay you MORE. *cough* @github *cough*
joestump: It seriously just took the Comcast "analyst" 45 minutes to tell me our introductory offer had expired. What a shitty company.
joestump: I was an immigrant and I created 100+ jobs: http://tcrn.ch/cZVp6a (via @satishd)
joestump: @mg Did you hit up Black Tuna?
joestump: I don't understand the Maven versus Ant arguments on the #cassandra mailing list, but they sure are amusing.
joestump: Nobody told me being an entrepreneur involved reviewing so many legal documents and talking to so many lawyers.
joestump: Does anyone else double check their @bitly links to make sure they're not the porn you were just looking at? No? Just me? Huh.
joestump: This is amazing. http://bit.ly/3VDBN5
joestump: @melsidwell You can email me at joe -at- stu -dot- mp if you want more details. I've been to 2nd/3rd world countries that were far better.
joestump: @dkr @LauraGlu You have to do more than tweet your allegiance! http://bit.ly/aJ6wQb
joestump: Evidently, being the founder and president of The Cal Henderson Fan Club gets you early beta access to @playglitch.
joestump: @andrewhyde Actually, that's exactly how free markets work. If you product shit the market decides to eat elsewhere.
joestump: @melsidwell Tulum, and Mexico as a whole, is a giant shithole. Avoid at all cost. I've been lots of places in the world and hated it.
joestump: @tsfalls Sadly, no. We skipped Sunday.
joestump: Heading to Vail!
joestump: @kevinrose If you're 6'0'', then I'm 7'2''.
joestump: @saneiros There two books. Daemon is the first and Freedom it's sequel. You should check them out!
joestump: @bfeld I can swing by tomorrow with my Cassandra nerds if you want. We have a few hundred gigabytes in a 12 node cluster.
joestump: I wonder what Aldous Huxley and George Orwell would have thought about Daemon and Freedom.
joestump: @303cycling I commute by foot, bike, and car (my roommate and I work together). Bike, bus, and foot are largely my only mode though.
joestump: Preparing a 112GB dataset from a partner of ours. It's pretty insane.
joestump: @dthompson I honestly have no idea. I don't really track who's using it as it's 100% open.
joestump: @johnclaus Yeah, we finally got it working. You have to add all nodes to all other nodes' known_hosts files.
joestump: @dthompson @wefollow isn't using it anymore.
joestump: Averaging 500 API calls a minute, peaking at 2GB of traffic per hour, and serving 3.5m avatars a day. (via @tweetimages)
joestump: @MASMECO Do you work at Quova? Would love to chat with someone over there.
joestump: Looks like Quova is another good option, but their pricing looks like it could get scary real quick. Anyone use that over MaxMind?
joestump: @klimpong Hrm. I'll have to ask some friends who Google uses for GeoIP lookups.
joestump: Looks like MaxMind is, by far, the winner in this category. They also happen to be reasonably priced. Awesome.
joestump: Anyone out there using the MaxMind for IP to lat/lon lookups? Any other providers worth looking at?
joestump: @daonb http://help.simplegeo.com
joestump: @daonb The API is live. We have beta clients who are using it in production.
joestump: @jordanmessina We have partners launching products; so I certainly hope so. Post on help.simplegeo.com and we'll go from there!
joestump: @adamhjk No license is clear until it's been tested in court. Either way AGPL continues to suck my nuts.
joestump: @justinsheehy @adamhjk @benjaminblack The HTTP server example is a question about that hypothetical scenario.
joestump: Holy shit! A Democrat tells the GOP to sack up! HA! http://bit.ly/bZfUMd
joestump: Clearly my tweet was confusing. A *product* that is *live* and *already* coded in Ruby on Rails is looking for *more* coders.
joestump: @keithelder It's a Rails application. So they're looking for people that can code Rails. Pretty straightforward me thinks.
joestump: @ieure No it has one. It's the sealed battery ones that have the new SD slots instead.
joestump: @kressaty I do and I can. I bought the MiFi because it's more flexible than the option you're talking about. But, MiFi's are useless.
joestump: @garyvee FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
joestump: Don't say I didn't try. This is the second *completely* unusable MiFi. Sending it back in exchange for an express card.
joestump: Here is a portion of my MiFi logs. Totally unusable. http://gist.github.com/312709
joestump: Even *after* a MiFi replacement it's completely unusable. It connects and disconnects every minute or two.
joestump: @enotes I won't. I'm in town a mere 19 hours. Yikes! When are you guys coming to Boulder?
joestump: Sweet! Boulder County Business Report wrote an article about @simplegeoinc. http://bit.ly/apR82Y
joestump: Beer Googles: Inexplicable things found in your browser history the morning after a party. (via @ieure)
joestump: I'm going to be in SF less than 24 hours this trip. Sadly, I'll have to wait for @sxsw to see all my SF friends.
joestump: If you lose your sense of humor what have you got left? (via @Verified_ALF)
joestump: @al3x I think jetlag is like hangovers — gets worse with age.
joestump: It looks like Santa pooped on Boulder while I was gone.
joestump: I've been blissfully car-free for three years now. Yay!
joestump: OH: "Is it wrong that my iPhone autocorrects 'pedobear'?"
joestump: I WIN! HAHAHA!
joestump: @bfeld Cambodia and Las Vegas.
joestump: @andrewhyde You mean the city that's obsessed with Dunkin' Donuts Coffee? As a city, yes, but coffee? Me thinks not.
joestump: @andrewhyde @bfeld And Blue Bottle. And Four Barrell. And Sightglass. Seattle basically invented the genre. Too many to list.
joestump: @bfeld Compared to San Franciso and Seattle it's sub-par. As many things in Boulder, it's great - for Boulder.
joestump: @bfeld Too bad the coffee is mediocre.
joestump: @drsm79 Nodes are not talking to each other. Looks like we need to mangle /etc/hosts?
joestump: If anyone at #pycon has successfully set up Disco, please let @mjmalone or I know. Beers on me if you can help.
joestump: @jcdyer I don't see it on the schedule. Where is it?
joestump: "You say that like you don't like ASCII penises on your screen." ... "I didn't say that."
joestump: @spyced You can find my fork on @github. Check out lazyboy/models.py for what you're looking for.
joestump: @wonderchook HA! Too bad CC0 doesn't adequately cover all bases for code. It's great for content though!
joestump: Had an *awesome* time hanging out with @ieure, @mjmalone, @termie, @kjam, et al tonight! So much nerdery.
joestump: @SeanChittenden You win. @mjmalone and I have been calling it DRM for source code while chatting about this. Forgot to put it in my post.
joestump: @frankyoo I grew up in Michigan. Way ahead of you. Also, have 6 liters of it in my fridge at home. :)
joestump: OH: "When you eat cornbread you get a girl that can do that." Only in Atlanta.
joestump: @kjam We're walking over in ten minutes. You guys still there?
joestump: @kjam I'm up for whatever.
joestump: I just heard from @wadey that Nagios is now monitoring our clusters via Ganglia. That is hot.
joestump: @adamcik It would as far as I know. It connects to it over the network.
joestump: @adamcik Yes, hence it "infects" the code connecting to it with the AGPL. You just said so yourself. Where does the confusion come from?
joestump: @adamcik AGPL closes the "network loop". It's why MongoDB creates client libraries that are LGPL.
joestump: The AGPL reminds me of a Lenin quote: "Freedom is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed." (via @lambdaknight)
joestump: More proof that babies are evil! http://bit.ly/cgzAgJ
joestump: Fantastic talk at #pycon on building lazy data structures in Python. http://bit.ly/anjaIr
joestump: "If you’re going to release software then grow a pair and truly set your code free." http://bit.ly/9a2zJc
Blog: Why I hate the AGPL
I’ve been, shall we say, debating the AGPL with the Neo4j guys for a few weeks now. I’d originally reviewed Neo4j for some uses at SimpleGeo, but ended up excluding it as a possibility for three reasons.
It didn’t support replication.
There wasn’t any inherent support for partitioning. This means we’d have to use Memcached’esque hashing to [...]
joestump: Lazyboy 0.7.5 is now in PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Lazyboy/ #pycon (via @ieure)
joestump: A fantastic photo essay about the one who got away. http://bit.ly/aYHcVm
joestump: I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but I enjoy stirring the pot.
joestump: I'm 99% sure that Pinax is Python/Django's answer to PHP's Drupal. This isn't meant to be a compliment. #pycon
joestump: Hanging out in Centennial IV waiting to hear @alex_gaynor talk. I'm in the third row in front of the screen. #pycon
joestump: @rdohms Email me at joe at simplegeo.com and I'll get you a beta invite.
joestump: OH: "I've never woken up to an animals nutsack in my mouth. Never."
joestump: @satishd In other words, developers follow the *money*. Not necessarily market share.
joestump: @satishd I'd be interested to see differences in: # of devs, $ in app sales, # of apps, etc. Pure # of handsets doesn't = developers.
joestump: Really happy for @micah, @graphicly, and @ifanboy! http://bit.ly/cBAmlH
joestump: No, YOU put the lime in the coconut you son of a bitch. Don't tell me how to live my life. (via @al3x)
joestump: It appears I'm going to be on a panel at @sxsw called "Mapping and Geolocation: Turnkey Approaches You Need to Know" moderated by @monstro.
joestump: OH: "It *specifically* said in the speaker instructions no offensive jokes." ... "And they let us present anyways?!"
joestump: @emileifrem Yes, I do only believe in public domain. I use BSD because it's not accepted in all countries. Apache doesn't restrict *use*.
joestump: @peterneubauer At least then you wouldn't be hiding behind the guise of "We're free! YAY!" #neo4j attempts to have cake and eat it too.
joestump: @emileifrem I think we'll agree to disagree. I *despise* the AGPL. Nobody is going to change my position on that.
joestump: @emileifrem What the AGPL does is *force* people to behave a certain way. That's not true freedom. Reminds me of conservative Christians.
joestump: @emileifrem @simplegeoinc is a *service* not a software package. Is @digg or @twitter a "proprietary license"? How about AWS?
joestump: @arjunram 4store? I haven't. Have you seen Riak? Looks hot. Chose Cassandra due to momentum, simplicity, and previous experience.
joestump: @arjunram We use a highly hacked/customized Cassandra for now. Looking at building our own graph database this summer.
joestump: @ncb000gt Also, Americans have proven over and over they don't choose what's better for you food-wise.
joestump: @ncb000gt Maybe we're talking about different economies? The US recession began in ~2007 (not 2005).
joestump: @ncb000gt Obesity rates leveled off five years ago so I don't think we can blame recession. Also, 99¢ menu is recession proof.
joestump: Obesity rates have leveled. Not because we're healthier, but because "we've reached a biological limit." http://nyti.ms/8eqvZY
joestump: Does anyone actually use and implement Portable Contacts? Seems that this project has fizzled out.
joestump: @brosner It takes a while for that stuff to fix itself due to the caching and CDN stuff.
joestump: @kevinowocki help.simplegeo.com has all the API information.
joestump: I'm not going to lie; the Windows Phone 7 Series UI looks pretty interesting. http://bit.ly/a6CnNL
joestump: @davidbgk Not off the top of my head, but it wasn't passing unit tests and was told it was never fully baked by the author so I dumped it.
joestump: @ryancarson I think @softfacade is freaking awesome too, but they've got ~15 people I think.
joestump: @ryancarson My vote goes to @metalab.
joestump: @davidbgk The DataStore code never worked in the original python-oauth package. Was never fully baked. So I removed it.
joestump: @sacca It is a bit intimidating, but extremely exciting.
joestump: I'm in shock. @mjmalone just informed me we're indexing over 1,000,000 location-based objects an hour.
joestump: Anyone know if you can do code highlighting in README Markdown files on @github?
joestump: @ranza Oh, sweet! Good thing I licensed that one BSD so you can use the code if you want. :)
joestump: I, uh, don't really know what to say. http://twitpic.com/13gw5v (via @garrenkatz)
joestump: Just added a lengthy example of using python-oauth2 to do a three-legged OAuth flow with @twitter. http://bit.ly/aewL4J
joestump: I love telling designers, "I don't know. You're the designer."
joestump: @alex_gaynor I dunno. I don't remember having lots of issues.
joestump: @pearfarm Can you activate the simplegeo account? I didn't get the activation email.
joestump: @klimpong Hey, didn't get my confirmation email from Pearfarm. Can you activate the simplegeo account?
joestump: I'm late to the party, but Simple Desktops is pretty great. http://bit.ly/ADqho
joestump: @ieure That looks about right for a kid of yours.
joestump: About 30 minutes from Breckenridge. First time out this season!
joestump: @johnjoe I've always liked him. Hard to dislike a guy who's given 10's of billions to charity.
joestump: I may dislike Microsoft, but I really do love @BillGates.
joestump: The new Verizon "Big Red" commercial is actually pretty great.
joestump: @arjunram We're working on something. :)
joestump: @arjunram Yes. It's amazing technology.
joestump: OH: "I'd ski her moguls."
joestump: @klimpong Oh! Sweet! Will do.
joestump: It's a race. First person to sign up at http://bit.ly/cHYxDv wins a SimpleGeo beta account!

joestump: Just released python-oauth2 1.0.6. Bug fix for encoding some parameters. (via @simplegeoinc)
joestump: @kevinmarks @jolieodell Not to mention color choice is brutally tested via A/B testing. Not the way to run a design shop.
joestump: @jolieodell It's because they let engineers design. We have no business designing anything (See: Craigslist).
joestump: @jolieodell My tip to your users is to ignore it like all of the other crappy consumer products Google has built.
joestump: @alex_gaynor Normalization is so cute. Let me know how that works out at scale.
joestump: @raffi Haha! It's not all me. You guys authored it. :)
joestump: Oh sweet! @raffi is using the name "OAuth Echo" for @twitter's delegation extension. http://bit.ly/b8sUWQ
joestump: @addisonkowalski Does Google Voice support MMS yet? Until it does I'm staying away.
joestump: @andersonsantos Hahaha! Yeah, that looks to be a bit more exciting.
joestump: @andersonsantos I dunno. I'd think a mansion in the English countryside is a pretty cool place to have a massive party.
joestump: Hrm. Anyone else notice that @flickr is serving up a lot of broken images?
joestump: My buddy @arne is insane. He's rented out http://bit.ly/9X8xK1 for his 30th birthday! HAHA!
joestump: I'm likely going to hell for the tweet I just favorited.

joestump: XHP from @facebook is interesting. http://bit.ly/d4Igx9
joestump: "Everything is just a few hundred clicks away." http://bit.ly/x0xx
joestump: Absolutely *fascinating* article and video on North Korea. http://bit.ly/9BglLG
joestump: @chrismessina There's nothing chic about it. Google is a great example of the crap you end up with when engineers are allowed to design.
joestump: @chrismessina For instance, Twitter's Fail Whale and clouds, or Pownce's design. For cleaner, warm designs see Last.fm and Facebook.
joestump: @chrismessina It's the usual engineer-designed, kitchen sink, ugly ass approach Google uses for all products. @jeffrey is right; no soul.
joestump: @matterk I know. That's what makes it funny.
joestump: "Still looking for the perfect VD gift?" http://bit.ly/a59EoY

joestump: @dbounds I don't think I said I had a problem with that, did I? I'm confused! :)
joestump: @chrismessina Encryption doesn't really answer the problem of authorization. I think @julien51 proposed a solution though. (cc @rabble)
joestump: @joehewitt If that's the case, I'm in the minority as well.
joestump: Google announces another thing that I don't understand and will never use. Film at 11. (via @ieure)
joestump: @rabble @chrismessina I don't think PubSubHubub has authentication mechanisms built in yet? (cc @julian51)
joestump: So it seems that Google stole the name from Yahoo! and the feature set from Pownce while taking swipes at Twitter/Facebook.
joestump: Thinking it's time to delete my Gmail accounts.
joestump: @reybango Well, WebKit is a standards compliant browser. The argument is to root for the *good* guy and WebKit is a good guy. And has share.
joestump: @reybango In other words, market share of the phone doesn't equal traffic numbers. WebKit probably has 99.99% of all mobile web traffic.
joestump: @reybango I think the point the author is missing and, likely, what @joehewitt is referring to is iPhone/WebKit on mobile is most traffic.

joestump: @willotoons Maxfield's! :)
joestump: I wonder if Tea Party members are actively discouraging their kids from going to college.
joestump: @Hallock I think it's dangerous to make the argument that intelligence equals elitism. And that's what the right insists on doing.
joestump: @willotoons I am, but I'm going to be at a Super Bowl party later. I've got a little time around 1PM I could meet up.
joestump: I mean, seriously. Your choice was between a Harvard law graduate and ... http://bit.ly/c9vdPv
joestump: I remain to be *REALLY* confused by the anti-elitism movement here. Why the *FUCK* would you *NOT* want highly educated leaders?
joestump: Hanging out with the fabled Erlang coder. I seriously though @janl was a myth. A mere legion.

joestump: @mvanhorn @dtrinh I just missed you guys. @kevinrose and I were there a few hours ago.
joestump: REDUCE TEA PARTY SPENDING! $50,000+ PAID TO PALIN! TICKETS ARE $549! REAL AMERICANS CAN'T AFFORD THAT! RAMPANT SPENDING! ALSO, ALIENS!
joestump: I'm calling it now; Sara Palin runs on the Tea Party ticket in a Ross Perot'esque move, which leads to a second term for Barack Obama.
joestump: Touché. http://bit.ly/bXBJ5T
joestump: @larrylegend I kind of just approach it the way we did at @digg. There are plenty of great books on the subject though. Any should work.
joestump: @benoitx It's a bug on @twitter's side (http://bit.ly/dsIeEu). We're just a pass-through. Might be because of *.bmp too.
joestump: @jpstephens Being a community organizer and a crazy person is mutually exclusive. Tea Party organizers are simply organizing crazy people.
joestump: Article's title is, "Palin among friends at Tea Party" - Crazy people?
joestump: @vishwasp I tell them directly in lots of places. Our help pages are full of, "I've added that to the road map ...", "Working on it ..." ...
joestump: Fail fast and fail often. http://bit.ly/amK2wJ My thoughts on @eventvue and failing efficiently.
Blog: Fail fast and often
I’m saddened to hear the news that EventVue has closed up shop. It’s never fun watching other entrepreneurs have an exit like this knowing full well how much of themselves they put into it. The good news is the EventVue guys clearly have learned huge lessons and will be in a much better position to [...]
joestump: @tswicegood Good things come to those who wait!
joestump: Looks like @mjmalone and I are heading to PyCon to talk about open web standards.
joestump: @dutchashell There are TONS of discrimination laws that govern commerce. Employment, rentals, etc. Plus airwaves have public acess laws.
joestump: I have lived a very full, multifarious life and have never heard someone say, "Boy, those tequila shots were a great idea!" (via @trammell)
joestump: For the record, I hate @JonathanBasker.
joestump: @alex_gaynor And, another, discrimination laws apply in various contracts (e.g. rental agreements) that private corporations must abide by.
joestump: @alex_gaynor Also, every single employment discrimination law on the books applies equally to government and private corporations.
joestump: @alex_gaynor I don't agree. Those are public airwaves they licensed. Also, political speech has free access laws on the books already.
joestump: Dear @facebook, Please give me the new design. Love, Joe.
joestump: I'm confused. 30-second, anti-abortion ad is acceptable for Super Bowl, but an ad for a gay dating website is not? Free speech anyone?
joestump: Had a great time chatting with @jakemintz about location, entrepreneurship, and the Pacific Northwest.
joestump: @willotoons I'm in town and mostly available tomorrow. Text me to meet up.

joestump: When I hit your API with a HEAD request, I get a response of 413 Request Entity Too Large. (via @ljharb)
joestump: @jolieodell APIs are relied on all over the place. They've just moved to the web. They're here to stay and making big money. :)
joestump: @jolieodell You're not the only one to have lived through that. No denying the numbers though. FB's platform is churning out millions of $.
joestump: @jolieodell I think the market has loudly spoken on this front. Worry about 350m active/sophisticated users before tackling the rest.
joestump: @jolieodell You should talk to Playdom, Playfish, Zynga, and Thread. One of those has $200m+ revenues and one recently sold for $400m+.
joestump: @jolieodell It's "only" Facebook because Facebook commoditized identity and the social graph.
joestump: @jolieodell Facebook Connect is only 80 million. Facebook only gets them 270m more users.
joestump: @justinsheehy I'm based in Boulder. Email me at joe @ simplegeo!
joestump: @jolieodell And by limited you mean that "only" 350m of the 1bn or so people on the internet can log in seemlessly?
joestump: @jewgonewild Huh. I must have missed the memo. What did you think about it?
joestump: @justinsheehy Are you in SF per chance? I'm around through Sunday. Would love to chat more!

joestump: Thanks @facebook for open sourcing HipHop. We, the FOSS community, look forward to maintaining this fork separately from you going forward.

joestump: @rabble I'm guessing Nova Scotia gets plenty of CA wine. ;)

joestump: This cab smells like cat pee.
joestump: @SaraMG If only you lived in Boulder. They have @BoulderBaked, which will deliver freshly baked cookies until 2AM.
joestump: And this is why we work together; both @lambdaknight and @dsmitts nailed it. Green Day's hidden track.
joestump: Heading to @Aub's. She's not home. "I'm all by myself!" You win a cookie if you get the reference.
joestump: @jeffrey I don't know. Possibly.
joestump: I'm in SF, which means I'll be totally unavailable via my iPhone for the duration of my stay.
joestump: @pkeane I'm talking *specifically* about data serialization. Not REST'ful link semantics. I doubt we'll come to agreement over this though.
joestump: Here's a hint of why XML is a poor serialization method: <blah type="integer">1</blah>.
joestump: I never thought I'd say this, but I *really* miss SimpleXML from PHP right now.
joestump: @pkeane Untrue. Many XML and JSON standards have specific mime types.
joestump: @pkeane JSON has a mime type.
joestump: @dirkdk Ah, you live in that weird world where all the APIs you work with have valid schemas and DTDs.
joestump: @dirkdk And what language are you using that doesn't have a JSON parser/encoder?
joestump: @imbradmiller To be fair, Microsoft Word creates documents, which XML is well suited for.
joestump: "XML is for documents, not data serialization, anyone who disagrees is morally bankrupt." @alexgaynor
joestump: Dear people who develop APIs, Please, for the love of God, quit using XML. Love, Joe.

joestump: @hitswitchken We use lots of GIS principles and algorithms at @simplegeoinc.
joestump: @mtrier Right, following people is like watching a TV channel. Change the channel if you don't like me!
joestump: Complaining when people unfollow you is still a thing? (via @roughdiction)
joestump: @rabble Indeed! We love it. Wish we could customize signup link though. Removed it with CSS.
joestump: @rabble That would be the "Data Explorer" in the menu in the upper right.
joestump: @arctictony Which is why I use their online chat support.

joestump: This should be interesting. Just sent out 222 beta keys to anxious developers. (via @simplegeoinc)
joestump: @andersonsantos I doubt that'll happen. The Tablet won't fit in your pocket.
joestump: Now that we're 99.9999999% sure The Tablet is upon us, I'm honestly unsure how it'll compare to the iPhone unveiling.
joestump: @Bobsuicide Please tell Dilbert I said hello.

joestump: @funshine They were probably evil squirrels.
joestump: @claylo Most of the benchmarks I've seen show negligible difference between the two. I'm happy to run an extra web server in this case.
joestump: @Joshmedia I know from my time at @digg where we used Quantcast, internal, and external metrics that Comscore way under reports. By 30%+.
joestump: @claylo We're using it now, but plan to switch to Twisted: 1. More unit tests, 2. More abstract than Tornado.
joestump: The fact that 30 Rock lost the SAG for best comedy to Glee shows what's wrong with America today.

joestump: @Poshy I wish I regularly had medical issues that required wine and cookies to rectify.
joestump: @csanz Hulu Desktop? Lets you control Hulu via remote in a nice full screen GUI.

joestump: @inspired12 Sunday, March, 14th. I turn 30 the 15th of March. Beware the Ides of March!
joestump: The fact that @simplegeoinc's #sxsw party will oversee me turning 30 at midnight was actually not planned, but is, nonetheless, awesome.

joestump: Many thanks to @snehamenon and her friends for dinner and conversation tonight. I'll be missing you, Singapore!
joestump: @miguel_pilar Behind the CDN, yes.

joestump: The views from Hong Kong's airport are quite breathtaking.
joestump: Goodbye America!
joestump: Heading to Singapore. Anyone in Singapore up for drinks on Saturday? Might be meeting up with @snehamenon as well.
joestump: @petrillic Which is precisely why I haven't ever worked at such a place. @digg is the largest company I've ever worked for.

joestump: Doing a few last minute TODOs at @simplegeoinc before our first board meeting and loading up the iPhone for my flight to Singapore tomorrow.
joestump: @peterneubauer I'm happy to contribute back (as we do actively with Cassandra), but not willing OSS my entire product while doing so.

joestump: @Joshmedia I saw that. My birthday is March 15th. :)
joestump: @peterneubauer AGPL is a pox. It'd require me to open source my entire company. Neo4j does that to force you into buying licenses.

joestump: This post (http://bit.ly/5zkgRl) by @al3x covers why I've hired a few elite coders over a bunch of average coders. SPOFs apply to teams too.
joestump: I just realized that Neo4j has the worst possible licensing. @simplegeoinc won't be using it anytime soon and neither should you.
joestump: @mattwdelong Depends on your needs. Django is great. Pylons is "looser" and Tornado/Twisted/web.py if you need "thin" frameworks.

joestump: @adamac Multi-master is a completely different beast, depending on the setup. RDBMS's are hindered by key collisions when distributed.
joestump: @superfeedr In other words, you had to bolt on a bunch of stuff to *make* the M/S setup work in a distributed fashion.
joestump: @superfeedr You're missing my point; the entirety of that system is distributed, but that M/S system, itself, is NOT.
joestump: @superfeedr Even having two is. Or three. If you distribute in M/S fashion you still have SPOF's. You just have a bunch of them now.
joestump: @adamac "the spatial or geographic property of being scattered about over a range, area, or volume" seems pretty specific to me.
joestump: @adamac Well, a horse is transportation in the "classical sense". In normal master/slave your slaves can be distributed, but not masters.
joestump: @superfeedr And what happens when you add a third master? A fourth? It's a series of silos at that point.
joestump: @peter_hacker I'd argue those things are all problems to be solved when implementing various features of CAP.
