Google Rank

I've written a little web-app that searches for the given keyword(s) and tells you where the specified domain comes in Googles index. Great little tool for identifying your SEO requierements.

For example, I want to find out where the domain wcfighting.com comes in Googles search results when I search for WCF.

http://outreal.com/google/GoogleRank.aspx?keyword=WCF&domain=wcfighting.com

The higher up the list, the better the SEO is for the domain!

Aborigines 2.0 DRM

Those super hi-tec Aborigines have come up with the oldest solution to the newest digital problem. Looks like they've forgotten that DRM is there to stop "unscrupulous" people from accessing their material!!!

Falling down the pub...

A special week for the ladies on fallingdownthepub.co.uk and a coupla 'ladies men' can't resist chucking their dicks in the ring. This week was supposed to be about exclusive reviews by Amelie Poulain and Ginger McKenna. By James Bond and Gordon Gekko just gate crashed the birds' party. Frankly, gentlemen, we'd expect better manners

Some of the problems a modern cow developer has to face...

WATERFALL: 18 months ago, one cow went into the milking shead. The method was sound, but you don't need milk any more.

AGILE: Only milk when necessary.

EXTREME PROGRAMMING: You have two cows. They milk each other.

TEST-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT: Know the bucket before milking any cows.

OPEN SOURCE: I have a cow, you and some other guy from Norway milk it on weekends or when ever you have some free time.

CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION: Your team of two cows checks-in to the milking sheads every day. Everyone has access to the milk. Everyone feels good.

SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE: We agree a schema for a cow. No one feels dependant on any breed of cow, but no one has actually seen a complete cow.

SCRUM: There is a backlog of milk orders. Cows decide how they are to be milked. Every 30 days the cows, pigs and chickens agree on an amount of potentially shippable milk. The pigs and chickens get to decide when no more milk is needed.

SaaS: You don't own the cows. You rent access to them and pay for it out of OpEx. Owning cows is outside of core business - you just need some milk.
