Would you care to elaborate on this? I think Pavlina is an odd guy, but I've found some of his advice to be quite helpful over the years. I don't agree with everything he says, but I don't think he's a "crank"

Great work so far. The tool was very intuitive and easy to use. My suggestion: once I've defined an API, let me apply it to multiple targets that I supply to you programatically. The use case driving my suggestion: I'm an affilia

If only there was a way to check and see if these links were generated by a widget and not actually part of the article's HTML. Oh wait... there is! Viewing the source from the "6 of the Most Enjoyable Theme Parks in the Nation&qu

I agree. The landing page leaves much to be desired. I've read over it a few times and I still have no idea what your service does or why I would want to use it. Please consider revising your copy to focus on the benefits you're providing

This is the first I've heard of your service. It looks really cool. I would find the image conversion particularly useful. Is it possible to upload a file and have it saved at multiple sizes? I couldn't see a way to do this in your API d

Congrats on the acquisition. You're quite prolific when it comes to churning out the various web apps you produce. Could you give us some insight into how you come up with the ideas for your apps? What's your thought process for determini

Agreed. If that's not an example of YAGNI I don't know what is.

Please consider changing the background and font combination. The "DISCOVER HOW PEOPLE INTERACT WITH YOUR WEBSITE" is very difficult to read and the light gray on darker gray text on the left is almost just as bad. I'm using the latest ver

While you're right that all CAPTCHAs are annoying, the CAPTCHA ads are a whole different level of annoying. I think you'd lose more goodwill than you'd gain in money from doing this.

Agreed. So much of making things easy for the user is sticking to convention and giving them what they expect to see. I think most places use the "Forgot Password" link now so I think most people come to expect it. I know I would.

You rock. This weekend I was planning to start evaluating A/B testing frameworks for my ASP.NET-based travel site. I was really hoping I could find something like Patrick's framework and here it just dropped in my lap. Thanks for releasin

Who's writing recommendations that say "switching ciphers fixes the problem"? Visual Studio Magazine [1]. I've enjoyed reading all your comments on this thread. You clearly know your stuff. Based upon what you've seen so far and what yo

What led you to say that it was? Section 5.1 of this whitepaper[1] by Rizzo and Duong, that lists Ruby on Rails as one of the web frameworks vulnerable to this attack. Granted, this paper was published in May, and I'm not a Rails guy, so

Then you should gently persuade them away from JavaServer Faces and Rails too. The same vulnerability exists in both.

Has anyone here used Image Juicer? It looks interesting but I found the documentation page to be pretty lacking. The simple example they show just allows you to pass a height and width parameter, but the home page says you can do cropping,

Terrible. Liar. Deceiving. Untrustworthy. These are indeed incendiary words, and they were used to make a point, but certainly not to make a personal attack, so I apologize if it came off that way. My point in using language like this wa

This is terrible advice. If a client isn't holding up their end of a contract with you it doesn't suddenly make it okay to start lying to them to get what you want. What happens when the client finds out that you invented a fake person to p
