Long wanted to write here about my little project kiddy.me . A little background. A little over a year ago my daughter was born and there was a "need" somewhere to write how is the baby, upload pictures. As you know such things are quickly forgotten. Somewhere in Word-e wife was not satisfied, and googling I found normal service where it would be possible to do it all. It was important for me that the note marked with the child's age, 1 year, 1 month, 3 weeks and 6 days. The other important factor was the functionality of uploading pictures. The prototype I made quickly, just a few days. I hadn't thought about the sociality, because the diary was only for my wife. But soon came the thought, why not make Kiddy for our friends (also young parents). And away we go... :) For a couple of months due to the small team had written the first version, a sort of symbiosis of children's Twitter and Facebook. And then there was amazing for me personal

For a special event, which took place on 25 November in the Moscow office of Google, the company officially announced the service wikipock (SearchWiki) — customization of search results. Actually, a week ago, the service discovered and described habrachelovek k48 . Later habrachelovek am I copied news Cnews about it. And much earlier, what many have forgotten, Google experiments noticed kossnocorp . Now we know everything for sure — it's not just an experiment. Yes, now every logged users Google will be able to rank the links in the results on your own — some to raise to the top, and what does it exclude. These assessments will only affect the results shown to this user, and all your grades, he will be able to roll back. If the search query Google showed the page that seems most relevant to the user, he can add a link to it in a special form at the bottom of the page. Added link will automatically fall into first place. Also now each link in the results,

Hello! Today we launched search by chemical reactions. Directly in a search string, you can hammer chemical reactions and to the molecular, ionic, and ionic condensed formula reaction, for example, KOH + H2SO4 = . The search string can be written as the starting material and product ( = NaCl + H2S ). In some cases, when the reaction is not, Nigma may explain why one or the other reaction is not: " K + NaOH " / > Now our database has more than 12 thousand reactions. Soon we are going to fill it to 20 thousand. That's tut is the news about our service, and here — full list of tasks. Before starting we consulted with Zahorski Vyacheslav Viktorovich, doctor of pedagogical Sciences, Professor of chemistry at SESC MSU, which has long been working to attract young people to chemistry and introduction network forms of education to the masses. He was pleasantly surprised about our projects (he especially liked that we're doing this for free, quote: "ad

Initially we knew about Tactoom one — it will be a web-based platform for communication on the basis of mutual interests. No social network, not a forum, but a universal way to communicate on different topics with different people, most importantly, on mutually interesting topics. In less than 6 months from closed beta, Tactum was evolution, changing from “do not know what the” in: 1. Social blogging platform based on your interests. the Essence in one sentence: tags in your posts are the interests of other people. Roughly speaking, the ability to write for the target audience — the function by default. 2. Service middle blogs. Yes, that's what you thought, in the middle between microblogging and blogging classic.

it All began in 2009. I worked in a large company that develops software. Our team have been performing quite a large project. My responsibilities were quite blurred. While my supervisor was to ensure the execution of the project with external parties (he communicated with management, managers, etc.), I was involved in the decision of internal problems of the project – design, plans, set tasks to developers, tracking the direction, etc. Shortly before the described events, the company changed its management, was very noticeable reorganization, the course of development of the company as a whole (and the draft in particular) are considerably shifted compared to the initial plan. And I couldn't say that a new direction is fine by me. The year came to an end. The present was predictable and rather dull, we offer new leadership, the future looked vague and not credible. At this time a good friend suggested: "let's do something different!". I'm not goin

We start and is already breaking the stereotypes of gift-giving. It all started with the idea that the gift idea should be anything. Only the gift Recipient decides, whether he wants to get IT as a gift or not. Instead of having to wrestle with "whether a gift I picked out?" you should do this: the the make a list of the things you want and/or can give (alone or with friends) the ANONYMOUSLY send this list to the gift Recipient on the "verified" (it will note which items from the list he likes) the to discard the ideas which the recipient is not liked and to buy something from licotho This approach 100% guarantee that the gift will be appropriate and desirable. positive Side effects: the the don't directly ask the Recipient "what do you want?" (don't spoil the surprise) the doesn't need to go shopping and choose (no time is spent without any guarantees) the as gift ideas, you can use any phrase,

Dear Hebraically! Now came the big moment when we can announce a new course, a revolutionary project that will shake the very foundations of the universe and radically change the landscape of the Network! How many announcements have you seen? I think a lot. So I decided to put aside the idiotic-enthusiastic language of press releases and talk quietly, what was the project Seamayor.com and then talk to its Creator, Sergei Smirnov. Since we've known each other a long time, since the beginning of the two thousandth, and I always enjoyed watching his progress through the seas of business and music. So when he decided to launch a new, and, from my point of view, it is an interesting project, I in turn, decided to help him with the promotion of habré and to write this post. History of the project started a few years ago. As usual, Sergey wouldn't have thought, and quietly did small and medium-sized businesses, from graphic design, building small web projects to mar

we Invite the web developers, particularly with experience creating/using userscripts, to become beta testers of the project tai.st — a new method of improving sites by users. the What is it? Improvement of sites forces users through extensions to the browser and userscripts — are becoming more popular, including increasingly discussed at Habra . But although new improvements are used they are very weak and a very small number of people — too awkward to use, difficult to create and to promote. So we decided to do Taist technology, a critical key issues custom improvements and allowing to receive maximum benefits, developers of improvements, and their users. Following will tell you about the problems, about how we are going to tackle them, and what it will give. the Existing problems (the examples are for Google Chrome, other browsers have similar extensions, but he didn't use them — search by words userscripts, userstyles) There are three ma

Read article on FaceSearch – search with a new face , originated the idea of how to try to make use of the Like button is more effective, because now it shows only the pages (sites) which sympathizes with the user Facebook. But it is often tempting to point to those pages, which I would not like to see more in search results. My proposal is simple, although certainly not new :). You need to enable users to evaluate the pages on which they fall in the search result, surfing the web. How to do it? First, to make extension for browsers (e.g. Google Chrome can put it in standard form, without additional installation, and Yandex to introduce in Yandex.Bar) is similar to WOT , but which will assess not only the domain but the pages themselves. It is even possible to do on the panel are two buttons next to the "Likes"/"dislikes". I think that many people will not be difficult to assess the viewed page, especially since the toolbar is always in front, while Li

Soon in Moscow will be held several PostgreSQL events. 19 September in Moscow, the company Postgresmen is organizing an 8-hour seminar "the Use of PostgreSQL. Features use PostgreSQL in conjunction with 1C: Enterprise" . The workshop will be led by renowned experts PostgreSQL, members of the PostgreSQL Global Development Group, the developers of a large number of popular extensions of PostgreSQL (including PostgreSQL patches, which are used in 1C: Enterprise) Oleg Bartunov and Fedor Sigaev . 21 September in Moscow, the organizers of the conference Highload-2007 and the company Postgresmen organize a 4-hour seminar focusing on performance PostgreSQL .

The seminar will be held in English with simultaneous translation into Russian. On 24-25 September in Moscow will host the conference Highload-2007 . Presentations on various aspect

March 4, 2012 was just a crazy day for all of us. For us — not only Russian citizens, but the authors of the service the Web-observer. Now, when we went away a little bit from all of the madness of past days, I want to tell you about how we wrote the service, what they have learned and whether we are going to stop. It started with protests, which were triggered by the results of the Duma elections. I (Alexei Poimal), and another couple of guys — Nastya Demina ademina , Arsen Kazibekov ArKaz and Olga Suvorova for a couple of hours to create a page helpwall.info hyped it through social networks, gathered volunteers who were ready to help in distress the protesters, but fortunately our work was unclaimed — rallies were held peacefully and without incident. But to stop there is not wanted and luckily came across a post Ilya Segalovich iseg in which among various ideas I've got the idea of creating an electronic diary of the observer at the elections. Having thrown the ide

So you came up with a great idea and you have decided that turn it into such a successful business that even Zuckerberg himself will ask you for an autograph. What's next? A common scenario: you read books mighty of this world about how to develop a startup. Study smart article about the different techniques and rules of its promotion. Learn from “enlightened” how to do this. Armed with intelligent project management and powerful rules of time management. Visit mega-workshops, start-up party and other places the focus of business wisdom. Well, as a consequence — finally, run your project investment, find a mentor and actively start to develop. In short, all “in the mind” and seems to be correct... But it turns out that is not so right. First let us deal with books. Their authors are addressing us as what is right to do so was a success. How did they know how? The great God StartPos to them from heaven, not down, in order to tell all these secrets. They just brought his

In this article I will tell about one project, which involved for quite a long time and that some time is available to the General public. We are talking about a management system “smart house” to MajorDoMo (Major Domestic Module), which is the Central unit of the complex software and hardware solutions, which I, because of their modest possibilities, implement in your household. But everything in order... Restrictions The project is not a product in any form. The status of the project – development and research. The project is not quite easy to understand and is intended for enthusiasts in the field of home automation. Deep implementation and project settings to suit your needs will require programming skills and at least basic understanding of object-oriented approach in development. The following opportunities may not be realized fully or adequately tested. Do not use the system in cases when the reliability of the functioning elements of the system may depend

Roem.ru discuss now not a rumor: In recent days, several times increased incoming traffic. The logs show that the site began to attend a bot calling itself "SearchBot". IP address indicates that it is a project of the electronic government. "Vedomosti" about a year ago wrote ( a copy of the article in open access ): the idea of the "state of search" became known in the summer [of 2010], when employees of "Yandex", Mail.ru and the Rambler began to receive from some "near-state" structure on the transition to work in this project. His goal, as explained by a senior source in the Kremlin, is to stimulate the development of domestic technologies in the promising field. Later Advisor to the President Leonid Reyman declared that the creation of a search engine is done by private companies, and the Ministry only oversees the project. Minister Igor Shchegolev has always denied the possibility of state support for the search engine

And it's been almost 5 months since our prototype online voice conferences Speakplace.ru And to whet your dear Gabriele, interest in the project, we decided to share with you the current situation on the battlefield. After the publication of our first article , we received a vivid response, it created a lot of conferences and written many recommendations and wishes. We took all the criticism has reviewed all comments and suggestions, collected them together and started work on a new, stable version of the service. First of all, we decided to abandon this apparent minimalism in design and switched to a more "normal" looking format, thought out interface and now the layouts are under "style". The logo also has undergone slight changes, now it looks like this: But mid-way we had a problem. In the circumstances, we lost our lead programmer, who really counted. Just at the moment when it was to begin its part of the job. And now we are l

We check them twice a day at 11:00 and 17:00. curr

This issue appears very often in all kinds of forums. "So, this recipe is worth sharing" – we thought. And that's usually how it happens Objective: to run the PostgreSQL server on a desktop computer or a server running Windows without installing it, possibly with portable media. There are situations when you really need it. For example, your program does not require installation but uses the PostgreSQL server. Or you do not have permission to install (update) of the server on this machine. So what you need to do: the To start the necessary binary files for Windows server. Can copy the PostgreSQL folder (minus the folder data ) from an existing server installation, or just download the files from the website PostgreSQL Windows . Make sure that you have selected .zip archive. the Then copy the following batch file in the root of the new folder PostgreSQL. the Upon first use, uncomment the line in the call to initdb . the Run the batch fi
