• Crowd review a resume

    Another one of my ideas which I won’t implement. Ever had doubts if a candidate CV/resume is a good fit for the job? Pay US$ 19.90, upload the CV to a website, and let 10 people say yes/no. I bet recruiters would love this tool. Let me expand a little bit: Recruiting a person with…

  • memcached monitoring and statistics

    I wanted to know, overtime, how many cache hits and misses my instance was getting. Searched a lot and finally found this perl script: http://code.google.com/p/memcache-top/ Usage is very simple. Save the file, give it execution permissions, then just run: ./memcache-top.pl –commands –cumulative Here’s an output example: Seems like I’m doing fine, caching the right parts!…

  • Apache + mod_wsgi + Django + lighttpd

  • Referrer test

    I’ve made a test page to see how referrers (both server-side and Javascript) will work if Google changes its url query string on search results pages: https://www.inerciasensorial.com.br/referrer-test/index.php

  • Web crawling services

    The number of web apps that need to crawl the web in some form or another is so huge, and it’s becoming bigger everyday, that either I am the stupidest person on Earth and can’t Google properly or there’s none selling web crawling services. Folks, someone needs to do this. A metered service (like S3)…

  • Wikipedia with just links

    So I just read how Britannica is planning a new website version, mostly to “compete” with Wikipedia. Britannica’s CEO also talks about the relationship between Google’s results and Wikipedia’s pages. Anyway, one criticism is valid, sometimes Wikipedia articles are not the best source of information about a topic. And this is being written by someone…
