Startups magnet

   Strange thing, universe is build very interesting, when you try dig on something everything around it starts stick with you, new connection, new info is coming from everywhere. Like more then year ago I started working with my own startup and from that moment all everybody around me stated talking about startups, then some of people invites me to join their projects, some are just philosophizing. But the main point that when you are starting doing something, it's like travel to the parallel universe where all things are the same.
   Second thought I've got that everything what you discover, every "new idea" was already made by someone, so you think "what the point to make same?". When youtube came on the market there was tons of video sharing websites, but almost all was expensive(storage was expensive at that time), so what they guys did, they put a lot of afford to make service free and fast, nobody else could fight for that, so youtube win. If you think more about this, you will probably discover that idea is not so important, mostly it's execution of this idea, how it behaves on the market?, what people say about it?, are they inspired ?
That is most important for being successful. Now everybody will need to build their own way to users hart :)

I hope that will work for me. Cheers

It's childish way to say system is too complicated, read the f**king manual, omg is this so hard?! So from perspective technical guy that have a lot of finished high loaded projects on the back, I want to explain my "sucky" point about it.  1) The thing that bothers me for last few weeks is news about Magento acquir...

Bounds.intersect is bad, mkay?!

I was trying to check when enemy ships are getting out of screen to destroy objects (optimization). First version Vector2 screenSize = new Vector3 (Screen.width, Screen.height, Mathf.Abs (Camera.main.transform.position.z)); Bounds screenBounds = new Bounds (new Vector2(0f,0f), screenSize); Debug.Log ("Ship " + ship.renderer.bounds + " Screen " + screenBounds); if (!ship.renderer.bounds.Intersects (screenBounds)) ship.Destroy (); So apparently this operation is taking significant time to check, end up replacing with this Vector3 screenPos = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint( ship.transform.position ); Vector3 screenSize = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint( ship.renderer.bounds.size); if (screenPos.x + screenSize.x < 0) ship.Destroy ();

Magento API + Java != Friends

Recently I've had a task to write small integration of Java to the Magento API, and meet a lot of troubles on the way. First of all Magento supports SOAP web-services that actually don't work well, I've found one solution http://code.google.com/p/magja I didn't tried because we spend much time trying to make them work with no result, so next was XML RPC based API that worked quite well on PHP examples, but caused more trubles. Login worked pretty well: XmlRpcClientConfigImpl config = new XmlRpcClientConfigImpl(); config.setServerURL(new URL("http://magento.dev/index.php/api/xmlrpc/")); XmlRpcClient client = new XmlRpcClient(); client.setConfig(config); Vector params = new Vector(); params.addElement( "defsan" ); params.addElement("123456"); String session = (String)client.execute( "login", params ); But other call's did worked, instead they show: Exception ...
