How to Start a Startup

"You need three things to create a successful startup: to start with good people, to make something customers actually want, and to spend as little money as possible."

Lots of good advice here about software projects, innovation etc.

The Other Road Ahead

"This article explains why much of the next generation of software may be server-based, what that will mean for programmers, and why this new kind of software is a great opportunity for startups."

The history of Viaweb / Yahoo Store. Lots of interesting ideas about Web-based software, rapid releases, listening and reacting to customers etc.

Topics: The Next Thing?, The Win for Users, City of Code, Releases, Bugs, Support, Morale, Brooks in Reverse, Watching Users, Money, Customers, Son of Server, Microsoft, Startups but More So, Just Good Enough, Why Not?, Notes, Thanks,

IPv6 DNS

David Carmean wrote on the 6bone list:

You want the DNAME record:

http://www.isc.org/pubs/tn/isc-tn-2002-1.html

1.4. A very simple solution to this is the use of DNAME RR's (see [RFC2672]) to effectively "tail-rename" portions of the interim (IP6.INT) namespace into the standard (IP6.ARPA) namespace.

$ORIGIN c.8.0.6.8.8.3.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.int.
...
        DNAME  c.8.0.6.8.8.3.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
