Tack-it

31 Mar 2006

A local biotech company is hiring a “Web 2.0 developer” to build internal and external tools using Ajax, Ruby on Rails, and agile methodologies. The job listing even specifies libraries like Scriptaculous. Fascinating.
Newsletter looks like a nice, simple way to do an email mail merge on OSX.
What’s in a (domain) name? Way too much statistical anaylsis, for one.
Tagging was discussed at the IA summit. Cluster analysis and co-occurence were mentioned. Good, good.
You’ve got digital photos. Now what do you do with them?
Lucene with PHP seemed complicated before Zend’s tutorial.

Aleene’s Tack-It is simply fantastic.
