Michael Isn't Friendsterly Anymore

Michael O'Connor Clarke explains why he's quit Friendster. Well put.

Here's what makes me queasy about the place. I'll be joining Michael in non-Friendster land soon. I'm hanging in experimental-like just to see if anything develops. Also, I want to use it as an example during my talk at the O'Reilly Emerging Tech Conf I'm flying to tonight.


For those who are keeping track, I'm sick as a dog: sore throat, sleepy, even a touch of fever (although my wife — famous for her warm hands during my illnesses — denies it). I am not looking forward to flying transcontinentally tonight, and I doubt the people inhaling my toxic fumes will be happy about it either.

Afraid I'm becoming even more un-Friendsterly (or un-Ryzely) now.

In addition to Friendster I've recently been toying around with Ryze. A similar premise but a different approach -- and it does seem to attract rather less of the jilted stalker demographic.

Unfortunately, I just received this email message (quoted verbatim):

"Hey! How you doin Mike? I signed you guest book on Ryze. How about signing mine! Be a sport :-0"

I think this is another business development experiment I'll be pulling out of...

Oh, and hope you feel a lot better soon. Poor Sausage was up all night with some awful stomach bug. Not fun.

Good luck at the O'Reilly thing.

You should show up wearing one of these:

Let's see an example by converting our favoriteNumber variable from a stack variable to a heap variable. The first thing we'll do is find the project we've been working on and open it up in Project Builder. In the file, we'll start right at the top and work our way down. Under the line:
