In the summer of 2009, I built a web-based IRC client as a hobby project. It was a surprising success and over the past two years my passion for chat has become Convore, a small startup funded by Y Combinator. This talk will cover the joys of creating your own company and how to avoid the pitfalls.

Velocity EU 2013 What is the velocity of an unladen swallow?pdyball
Seatwave was growing fast, success was unabated, and industry awards were landing on their doormat. Infrastructure had been revamped, load patterns were understood. Everything was going just great…
Until…
The marketing team planned Seatwave’s first UK TV campaign – all regions – simultaneously, but only told the engineering team the day before the first advert was due to run!
10 seconds into the advert the site melted and there was a collective thud as heads hit desks.
It was expensive lesson to learn but also the wake up call that forced everyone in Seatwave to focus on the performance of their site.
In this session we’ll share that pain we experienced, and how we improved performance so that when all our competitors crashed during the UKs largest concert ticket sale, we were able to take 20 days revenue in just 2 hours!
However, maintaining performance is a challenge, product owners want new features, the site starts to put on weight and slowly performance starts to degrade once more.
Will it take another disaster to focus everyone on performance or is there another way to avoid “boom and bust”?
We’ll talk about the steps we’re taking to avoid “boom and bust” by making both performance and the impact performance has on our customers visible to everyone across Seatwave including:
Our Adobe Site Catalyst installation with a custom implementation of the W3C Navigation Timing API allowing us to segment our business KPI’s by speed.
How we’re using a WebPageTest within continuous integration for our QA and production builds.
How we constantly review our performance against competitors using our own installation of the HTTPArchive.
Join us on our quest in search of the Holy Grail of truly understanding how web site performance affects our business, and the processes and systems we are putting in place to ensure we keep speed at the heart of our product development roadmap.

ECitizen Application is a concept/idea to develop an application on Web and Mobile platform that captures government data in reportable, actionable and presentable way.
This application has an objective of giving citizens – You and me an accountability of our tax utilization by various government agencies.
It will ensure information if RTI replies by govt department is not lost but is captured and visible in readable and reportable way to citizens
Also it would be a platform to understand the inflow of money to various government agencies (eg. Auction of mobile spectrum) and its outflow through various initiatives.
Such an application will give a citizen awareness that government expenditure has actually gone to right cause and show government’s accountability to citizens with discrete facts and numbers in a manner that is understandable by common citizen.
This is a concept to use technology to trigger an SMS or reminder in case a govt initiative reaches a deadline (Eg. Initiate an SMS to remind citizen of applying an RTI/PIL if govt’s deadline to replace old buses has crossed the date)
Everybody wants sustainers, but what are the best tactics to get them? (With a focus on the technical side of things!) As presented by Shiloh Stark, Amnesty International, Sue Anne Reed, The Engage Group and Heather Marsh, ABD Direct

Creating User Friendly Joomla! Websites and Forms [English]ThemePartner
Have you ever visited a website that had no clear navigation? Perhaps clicked on the 'Reset' button at the bottom of a form that you intended to submit? Most likely you blamed yourself for these mistakes, but in most cases it was the web designer at fault here.
By properly testing a website with real users (from the first sketches to beyond the final release) most usability problems can easily be fixed (or even prevented). At almost no cost and with only a couple of minutes per week you can do these tests yourself. In this presentation - filled with practical and easy tips - I will teach you how.
Stop scaring you visitors away, learn how to make them love your site today!
Here are the slides from the Mindjet Webinar on March 24th, 2009 where I demonstrated how I manage my life (personal & work) using Mindjet and some other tools like Outlook. The slides are not completely stand-alone but you can get a good view at how I use mapping to provide a clear, big picture view of my life and all the details are just clicks away when needed!
With the advent of Google Maps, and other similar services, GIS became part of main stream digital culture. Now millions of Internet users, all with no formal GIS training, interact with spatial information on a daily basis. Sharing and collaboration involving spatial data has become a key feature of "social networking" and the "Web 2.0" movement. This presentation explores examples of how Internet users have colonized digital representations of physical space in order to express their identities online. Marshall Mcluhan said that people gave greater focus to their visual faculty, at the expense of our other senses, following the advent of the printing press. Understanding popular GIS holds part of the answer to the question: How is humanity changing as our attention is increasingly focused on imaginary spaces - even if the imaginary spaces are loosely based on real space?
https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

people create distinctions out of their own minds
