This is a post I've meant to write for a very long time. Since 1998, my part-time job of sorts has been to maintain a number of community sites. One of those, started ten years ago, was Guide to The Point . "The Point" in this case is Cedar Point, an...
As I mentioned a little more than a week ago, I was getting close to a point where I felt POP Forums v8 was ready for public consumption. Well, the time has come! You can download the bits here: http://www.popforums.com/ I've decided that I will charge...
Yes, it does exist. After talking about it for nearly four years, I feel like it's something almost ready for release into the wild. I want to share some of my plans here, and will keep you updated in the near future on where the bits are. First, the...
You know how sometimes you think you're pretty sure you know what the sum total of your database shenanigans are in any given ASP.NET page, but you want to make sure? Well, under load it's hard to do a SQL trace and really see what the hell is going on...

I've spent some reasonable time on POP Forums v8 lately, after, what, talking about it for two years? I have a big old feature list that I'd like to tackle, but I've got it pretty close to feature equivalent at least. I've got a build here with lots-o...
I love Digg for a lot of reasons, but the problem is that stories and comments are not dug or buried for their merit, people do so based on whether or not they agree with it. For the comment system in particular, that makes it broken. The new comment...
So it's a month and a half later than I had hoped (or several years, depending how I choose to look at it), but I finally got POP Forums to the first milestone in the ground-up rewrite. My goals for M1 were pretty straight forward: Let go of the legacy...
