A Word to the Resourceful
January 2012 A year ago I noticed a pattern in the least successful startups we'd funded: they all seemed hard to talk to. It felt as if there was some kind of wall between us.

Playing chicken with cat.jpg
I was reminded of this by 37signals' response on Monday to last week's cat.jpg privacy failure . To be clear, I have a lot of sympathy for 37signals: Once someone looked in their logs and saw "cat.jpg" as the name of the one hundred millionth file they had stored, I'm sure the resulting fit of laughter significantly…

FreeBSD now available on all EC2 instance types
I tried building FreeBSD AMIs for the 32-bit EC2 instance types the same way as I did the 64-bit instances — by defenestrating Windows AMIs — but there was a catch: They wouldn't boot. In fact, when I tried this six months ago, they not only didn't boot, but they didn't even produce any console output to help me…
