A picture named jonbenet.gifLearned the hard way... I like to use redirects as part of the user interface for my web apps. Rather than display an error message saying you have to configure the app, I just redirect to the configuration page. My framework only allows one kind of redirect, so I always do a permanent one, HTTP result code 301. Everything worked fine, but something apparently changed in Firefox and now it notes 301s, and implements them on the client side. It probably seems like an economy of some sort, but it broke a few of my apps, and it took the longest time to figure out why. Not saying they did anything wrong, but making a note so that next time maybe I'll remember it, and save some time. Or maybe this will save you some time. Back to work.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A more careful explanation of the redirect issue. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

David Hornik's view of the Friday TechCrunch party.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

One thing to be thankful for is that in all the reviews of Friday's party, very few said it was about Web 2.0. We seem to have gotten that out of the way. Arrington's parties are inclusive, and net-net that's a good thing. Web 2.0, as designed by O'Reilly and Battelle, excludes lots of good people, and that's a bad thing. I'd argue it's even bad for O'Reilly and Battelle, but I'm not so worried for them.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.
