Colin Devroe: Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

  • Tyme White · 2 years ago
    Thank you Colin for the kind works. Yes, 9rules has changed a lot. I thought about you (and Matto) while it was being developed. I was not a part of 9rules when it was created. Coming in on something already started is new to me. I could imagine you seeing it from how it started off and seeing what it is now. Sort of the flip of me.

    I'm glad you like the changes. Cya in my.9rules. :)

    Thanks a lot man, very nice to see your thoughts on the new site. Your caching architecture is still in place, albeit with some changes so that magpie can handle unicode feeds since it has always had some trouble. I'm glad you like Topics, that was a pure Mike Rundle Special, and my.9r is still underpinned with the Notes magic we put together back in the Summer, so we're still cooking with that same fire :)

    Tyme: Yeah, definitely polar opposite perspectives - which is cool. You're doing an excellent job, from where I'm sittin'.

    Mike R: Topics is great. I remember talking about these types of "verticals" way back in the very beginning and we were never really able to pull them off as nicely as you have done now.

    That cacher probably needs to be laid to rest soon. Take it out back, behind the shed so the kids don't see, and put it out of its misery!

    Keep the fire burning.

    In all honesty I remember the day you told me you were going to use WordPress to power 9rules. I choked on whatever I was eating and thought you were insane.

    It worked.

    Then Notes was going to be powered by bbPress and then I knew you just like everything involving WordPress and again you were crazy. I choked on whatever I was eating.

    It worked.

    Now we have an infrastructure that is quite easy to work with and as you can see we built upon it and it could've been a lot harder, but the foundation that you helped laid down made it much easier for idiots like me to work with.

    Awww, everyone's so nice.

    So yeah, i agree with colin, the new 9rules kicks ass guys.

    Paul: Wow. Such kind words. I'm glad that something I put together there has at least been of some benefit and you're able to use it.

    Josue: You are always so succinct.
