horatio05··on [dead]
I am only posting because this gives me a karma point. There I said it!
horatio05··on Preezo Battles PowerPoint - Google, Zenter Too
Preezo is going to have a mighty hard time defeating our ol' Zenter boys now that they're part of Google Docs and backed by Google Wallet.
horatio05··on What artificial stimulants do you use?
In Argentina they drink Matte, a substance which consists of what looks like leaves and twigs dug up from the Pampas. I believe they also eat tremendous quantities of beef... though that may not help with staying awake.
horatio05··on Facebook takes over Palo Alto
$600 subsidy to live within a mile of the office! I would live in my car and pocket that. But I would then spend it on one trip to Spagos.
horatio05··on New York Times Sees Sense: Paywall Comes Crashing Down
True, but I think the exposure that Friedman will now receive by making his columns free more than offsets the loss of "pay" revenue. This move will enhance both the Times readership and its reputation.
horatio05··on Coding Horror: Yes, But What Have You *Done*?
Damn, this makes me want to code right now... but I will read some YC posts first :-). It's good to get a good inspirational kick in the rump now and then though.
horatio05··on An Unorthodox Approach to Database Design : The Coming of the Shard
How would one know what data to place in shards? Are there any "RDBMS to Shard" resources out there?
horatio05··on Scale Your Website Like YouTube - A Look at YouTube's Architecture
Very interesting article, it's good for entrepreneurs who are wondering what will happen when (of course ;-)) their websites start getting hammered with traffic.
horatio05··on Survival lessons from Man vs. Wild's Bear Grylls
He's a fake. "Survivor Man" would out survive him, and probably drag Bear Gryll's lifeless body back, along with all his camera gear.
horatio05··on The Cranky Product Manager: How to Piss Off Development in a Really Big Way
I will burn my product to the ground before I let that PM have it! Muahahahahahaha!
horatio05··on The Value of Friend-Raising
Interesting, but I don't know if I like the idea of someone befriending me simply because they are "networking" for their business. Then again it makes sense to work with the people you like, so I suppose there is some truth to it.
horatio05··on Think you work hard? Think again.
I don't think continuous work means continuous productivity. I can sit and stare at my code editor for hours and write little or no code at all. I am more like a Cheetah. I sprint, take down my prey, and feast on it for days.
horatio05··on The iPhone is a piece of shit, and so is your face.
If the Nokia E70 were a person. It would be Chuck Norris.
horatio05··on Loopt offers its service to Sprint users
Will the "Business Version" Iphone have GPS? With their "buddy buddy" relationship with Google you'd think this would be a must.
horatio05··on Paul Kedrosky: Online Video Explodes Some More
If video is exploding then why can't I get my self made music videos viewed!!!??? Maybe because I need to make them more like this... (Warning: Maybe NSFW)

horatio05··on Get Yourself A Morning Ritual
Mine goes more like: Wake up 7:30am - 8:30am (Hangover dependent) Get to work:9:30am Read and Post to YCombo Startup: 9:45 :) Read useless Blogs: 10:00 Work: 11:00 - 12:00pm
horatio05··on 101 Ways To Know Your Software Project Is Doomed
Wait a minute, I was hired as a consultant... and I did take the blame! Yup, pretty sure that project failed.
