Great thanks, are there any aspects that you particularly liked?

Thanks for the comment.

I was thinking that it would be useful to create a site where companies could pledge a small amount of help, or entrepreneurs could post their top 5 tips?

Anyone else have any interesting ideas?

What mile stones do you have in your startup?

Great, I would love an invite. Many thanks and thanks for sharing:

Good idea. Although I would like to see some examples of the books, and testimonials before parting with any of my money.

Good luck Ben...

I think you are right. There is probably little advantage either way - if you are relying on Pay-Per-Click advertising.

SEO on a site with tables isn't going to penalise you that much therefore it must be that these SEM marketers are happier building them with tables.

Yes that's my point about the grey area - you run a table site through the validator and it can pass.

But are there any advantages - is it easier to design if the site doesn't use complex tables? There really can't be any advantage to download speed - as browsers are likely to render tables slightly slower.

Very good, that looks really interesting.

erm... yes good point!

yeah useful, also "open `pwd`" to open the current directory

Cool I like it.

Yes I like the idea of using Ruby I find it a little more intuitive. Thanks.

Also you may want to look at commandlinefu.com: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/tagged/34/bash

I also use this natty little function in my .bash_profile to cd to the last opened finder location.

This is a script written by a colleague. http://www.visualcortex.co.uk/. Add the following function to your .bash_profile in Apple OSX. Now open a directory in Finder, then open terminal and type cdf, your terminal will now change directory to the same one as the last Finder opened.

    # function to change directory to the one set in the last opened finder.
    cdf () {
       currFolderPath=$( /usr/bin/osascript <<"			EOT"
           tell application "Finder"
               try
                   set currFolder to (folder of the front window as alias)
               on error
                   set currFolder to (path to desktop folder as alias)
               end try
               POSIX path of currFolder
           end tell
    			EOT
       )
       echo "cd to \"$currFolderPath\""
       cd "$currFolderPath"
    }

Very interesting.

I think the web game for general apps has shifted up a gear. However I believe this down turn in the economy is going to drive more 'less tech savy' users to try and make a buck on the web.

To Jo Bloggs the web is an income stream he should be using to get through this economic downturn. As an entrepreneur this is a market worth tackling? What do you think?

An excellent movie I enjoyed was: Dark City It was kind of like a precursor to The Matrix.

Hi gettalong

That looks really interesting - I do a lot of web site work for clients, in Rails, PHP and simple static HTML sites.

I've found that sometimes you want to mock up simple sites without using a framework or a CMS system like Drupal, but want to keep your code DRY.

Also some small companies often won't want to change their data frequently and would rather pay someone to do it for them and I think this is the best tool for the job.

Thanks for you comment I'll have a play with webgen it looks like an interesting project.

Many thanks Ben Emson...
