I'm going to a big craft fair tomorrow
toomuchglassNovember 2, 2007
150 booths ........ I'll give my report this weekend !
Oh - I Wasn't selling ( but now that I've seen it - I wish I was ! ) I would have made a killing . There was nothing there like I make. Anyway - here the report ......
\-\-\- Of 121 booths , 39 of them were beaded jewelry It got to the point I just walked right by them without even looking. There was alot of things made with fleece \- those things with the knotted edges. Alot of quilted table runners and doilies. Not alot of floral \- surprisingly. Remember those gel candles ? One lady made them and put figurines in them ( birds,dogs etc...) It looks bizarre \-\- gel candles have little bubbles in them and it lookes like the things were drowning inside. eeewwww.... One guy sold home made dog cookies and treats \- his booth was crowded. One lady had bottles with fabric covering the whole thing and decoupaged on. Then she had lights in the bottles . Not bad. There was alot of handmade greeting cards & ornamnets that could be personalized. One booth caught my eye \- she had painted Gourds with holes cut into them and made into lights.
SHe had them decorated with beads and wires and it actually looked pretty . Speaking of lights \- one booth had table lamps all made with baskets for the base. I liked them ! Well \- that's about it ... nothing new \- but it was a nice show. I only saw one import ... I know because I used to buy wholesale from this company. I'd say most everything there was handmade. I might have to enter this show next year ... !! LOL
Thanks for the report... I am the one picked by my group to go to Santa maria next week. Hope I'm not sorry, but I haven't shown my things in that area so I may do OK ....had a great farmer's market yesterday so I hope it works out. Reasonable price for spot in Santa Maria so I am giving it a try... Oh darn, I may have to stop at a couple of places on my way back to buy fabric I still need to have enough to sell until the middle of December...

2011 Was A Huge Year. Onto 2012
December 28, 2011
Distilling a year's worth of work, innovation, and growth into one blog post is a fool's errand. But we wanted to give it a shot regardless. This post is long, but it's well worth the read. Make it to the end and you'll see why. If you get there and regret it, let me know. I'll send you some stickers.
2011 – A Look Back
2011 started off big for Basho and Riak. The fruits of our engineering labor were revealed in the Riak 0.14 Release that was made official on January 5th. This was a momentous event for us, and in the release were various feature additions and enhancements, along with copious bug fixes and usability improvements.
Next, in February, came a $7.5 Million Round of funding from some new and existing investors; they believed (and still believe) in our vision and product, and this money was put to good use building out the Basho team and pushing Riak farther.
With fresh funding in our coffers, we kept our heads down and continued to hack and hustle through February and March, picking up production users and closing new deals. April brought new interest in Riak Core, the framework that forms the backbone of Riak's distributed capabilities. Companies like Yahoo! and AOL began to build applications on it for various use cases, and we did our best to make the project more usable outside of Riak. (There is still much to do to make Core truly accessible to developers, and, time permitting, we hope to address this in 2012.)
May arrived and we ruffled a few feathers with a blog post about what we thought was a theme that needed addressing in the NoSQL space. Also in May, Basho Board Member Eric Brewer was recruited to help Google plan and execute their cloud vision, one of the many accomplishments various members of the Basho Team would notch this year.
Corporate developments took center stage in June. We opened a new office in San Francisco, a move precipitated by massive user and customer growth on the West Coast. BashoWest, as we call it, has since become a co-working space of sorts in addition to our West Coast HQ, and we're continuing to expand our efforts to spread knowledge about distributed systems and sound computing practices to developers. Later on that month we announced additional funding and the addition of Don Rippert as Basho CEO.
To start off July, we made it known that support for Google's LevelDB would be part of the next release, a move that would let users take better advantage of Riak's pluggable storage capabilities. Lager, a new logging framework for Erlang/OTP was also released and announced by Andrew Thompson. Writing and open-sourcing Lager was one of many steps we took in 2011 to address Riak's (and Erlang's) developer-friendliness. Client libraries were also on display in July. The Riak Java Client was given a makeover in response to user and customer demand, and Russell Brown and various community members continue to enhance the code. Ripple, Riak's Ruby client, shared the spotlight. Sean Cribbs and his team of committers took over BashoWest for a week to hold the Ripple Hackathon, an event that contributed to what was a monumental year for Riak's adoption in the Ruby Community.
We had our heads down in August, steadily grinding, only to re-emerge in September with a string of announcements about the code and features we were polishing off for the upcoming 1.0 release. The long awaited Secondary Indexing component of Riak was announced and chronicled by Rusty Klophaus; the work Bryan Fink was doing on Riak Pipe, our new MapReduce framework, was revealed in detail; Joseph Blomstedt, who we luckily snatched up after he released riak_zab, demonstrated the extensive work that he and the team had been doing to refine Riak's Clustering Capabilities.
Then, to end the month, mere hours before September concluded, we released Riak 1.0. The culmination of years of hard work and innovation from Basho and our community, this release was the biggest in the history of Riak and it'll be some time before any of us forget this day. Glance at the release notes to grasp the scope of this release if you're not already running the code.
Onto October and November. The 111 Minna Gallery in downtown San Francisco played host to the Riak 1.0 Release party, an event attended by the entire Basho team along with almost 200 users, customers, and Basho supporters. Several weeks later we publicized the work we had been doing on the Riak-Hadoop Connector. In November it was also revealed that Basho's Director of Engineering Dave "Dizzy" Smith had been named Erlang User of the Year for his work on Rebar. Also noteworthy from November: Scott Lystig Fritchie, another member of the Basho Engineering Team, shared some details on the work he and others were doing (and continue to do) to get DTrace added to Erlang.
Which brings us to December. Two big things happened this month, both on the 15th. First the Basho Developer Advocate Team released Riaknostic, a chunk of code, complete with beautiful documentation, intended to help eliminate operational issues before your Riak cluster goes live. Also on the 15th, Community Member Mathias Meyer released the Riak Handbook, a short yet near-comprehensive guide to using Riak, and the first extensive publication dedicated solely to Riak. (I'm told sales are booming.)
Community, Contributions, and Production Deployments
And even with all this, we are nothing without our community of users, customers, and contributors. As our COO Tony Falco has been known to say, we have a "community that sustains us with hard work and positivity." Going into 2012, this could not be any less true.
The number of contributors to the projects that compose and are connected to Riak grew in a massive way, and the THANKS file now contains 170 names, up from about 40 at the beginning of the year. To date, hundreds of organizations and companies have contributed to the codebase, including Comcast, Yammer, GitHub, Trifork, Rails Machine, DISQUS, Formspring, Simple, Clipboard, Boundary, The Fedora Project, SEOmoz, SpawnGrid, Spreedly, ShowYou, Apollo Group… The list goes on. On the individual level, a special thanks is also owed to Tuncer Ayaz, for his dedication to Riak and Rebar.
Client library work that helped drive grass-roots adoption was done by people like Francisco Treacy (riak-js), Greg Stein, Soren Hansen, and Gilles Devaux, and Brett Hoerner (Riak's Python Client), and Jeremiah Peschka and OJ Reeves, who took it upon themselves bring Riak to the .NET world. The Riak PHP Client was and continues to be refined by developers like KevBurnsJr, Jonathan Langevin, Mark Steele, and Eric Stevens.
We are immensely lucky, thankful, and grateful for these and future contributions, and we consider it a privilege to have you spend time working on and with Riak. Thank You!
Production deployment numbers also exploded, to the point where we are now comfortable saying there are more than 1000 Riak clusters either in production or that will be there very soon. Some of the noteworthy use cases:
- Voxer relied on Riak when they needed to scale their backend to handle billions of daily requests on their way to becoming the number one Social Networking application on the iOS.
- The Danish Government turned to Riak when they needed a datastore that could be trusted with the prescription records of their entire citizenry.
- Bump, the #7 free iPhone Application of all time, switched to Riak when they realized their existing infrastructure wasn't sustainable.
- Yammer, which counts 80% of the Fortune 100 as customers, selected Riak to provide notifications to its millions of users
- DotCloud chose Riak to scale critical components of their internal infrastructure.
- ShowYou built out two Riak clusters to power their social video application and have developed a custom storage backend with integrated search and analytic capabilities.
These represent just a small portion of the hallmark deployments. We would need many more blog posts to provide details on all of them. Please add your use case details to the comments if you're feeling compelled.
We also saw the appearance of a healthy dialog (the "good" and the "bad") around what it takes to run Riak in production, driven by companies like Inaka Networks, The NetCircle, Production Scale/Solution Set, and Linklfluence sharing their stories. Riak isn't perfect yet, and you're driving us to make it better.
Another stat worth sharing: at least nine of the FORTUNE 100 have either deployed Riak or are committed to deploying it for services that generate revenue.
Onto 2012
And so, with this, we close out a momentous 2011 knowing full well that what we have planned for 2012 will make the accomplishments and growth we saw over the past 12 months pale in comparison. Are we "market leaders"? Hard to say. This is not a title we can bestow upon ourselves. But this past year's successes, coupled with the code, partnerships, new hires, products, customer announcements, and initiatives we have in the pipeline for 2012 have us feeling very good about the coming year.
Thanks for being a part of Riak. Happy Holidays.
On behalf of the entire Basho Team and our Community,
Community Manager
BashoChats 001 – Erlang and DTrace; Storm and Distributed RPC
December 21, 2011
The inaugural BashoChats was held just under a week ago at BashoWest in San Francisco. About 30 local developers came out to have a few beers on Basho's tab and discuss distributed systems and databases. If you're local to the Bay Area and/or want to keep an eye on what we have planned, join the group. There are some great talks in the pipeline…
Most importantly I'm happy to report that both talks from the evening are now online for your viewing pleasure.
Enjoy. Hope to see you next month.
DTrace and the Erlang VM
Andy Gross opened up the evening with just under 30 minutes on the current work happening at Basho and a few other companies to bring DTrace to Erlang VM. He starts off with some general information on both components and then goes in-depth on how they can be used to profile a running Riak installation.
Repo here on GitHub with the code he used for the examples in his presentation.
Computing Reach Using Storm Distributed RPC
After Andy concluded, Nathan Marz gave an overview of Storm, a framework he and his team at BackType built for distributed and fault tolerant realtime computation. He takes us through some Storm basics and then demonstrates how it is used to compute reach using distributed RPC.
Riak 1.0 Release Party Recap
November 17, 2011
The Riak 1.0 Release Party happened just over a week ago in San Francisco. It was an exceptional evening, and we were able to bring together the Basho Team and a huge number of local Riak community members to celebrate the release.
In addition to the excellent food, drinks, company, and conversation, we had two great talks. The first was delivered by Basho's CTO Justin Sheehy and he did about 20 minutes on the origins of Basho and Riak, and precisely how and why we got to Riak 1.0. After Justin concluded, Dave "Dizzy" Smith, Basho's Director of Engineering, closed things up with some passionate words about where Riak and Basho are going and why he's excited to be a part of it.
Most importantly, if you weren't able to attend, we recorded the talks so no one would miss out on the action. They are well worth the 30 minutes and at the end of it you can call yourself a "Riak Historian". You can find the video below. We also took some photos of the event. Those are below, too.
Enjoy, and thanks for being a part of Riak.
Riak 1.0 Is Officially Released!
September 30, 2011
We are absolutely thrilled to report that as of today, Riak 1.0 is officially released and ready for your production applications!
Riak 1.0 packages are available. Go download one. And then go read the release notes because they are extensive and full of useful information highlighting the great work Basho has done since the last release.
There is already a lot of literature out there on the release, so here are the essentials to get you started.
The High Level Awesome
For those of you who need a refresher on the release, this 1.0 Slide Deck will give you a quick overview of why you should be excited about it. The big-ticket features are as follows:
Secondary Indexing
In 1.0 we added the ability to build secondary indexes on your data stored in Riak. We developed this functionality because, quite frankly, people needed a more powerful way to query their data.
- High-level Slide Deck
Official Documentation for Secondary Indexes
Riak Pipe And Revamped MapReduce
Riak's MapReduce functionality isn't anything new, but we did a lot of work in this release to make the system more robust, performant, and resistant to failures. Riak Pipe is the new underlying processing layer that powers MapReduce, and you'll be seeing a lot of cool features and functionality made possible as a result of it in the near future.
- Riak Pipe Code on GitHub (complete with a beautiful README)
- MapReduce Documentation on the Riak Wiki
Usability is a huge focus for us right now, and logging is something that's less-than-simple to understand in Erlang applications. To that end, we wrote a new logging framework for Erlang/OTP called Lager that is shipping with 1.0 and drastically reduces the headaches traditionally associated with Erlang logging and debugging.
Search Integration
Riak Search has been a supported Basho product for several releases now, but until 1.0 you were required to build it as a separate package. In 1.0 we've merged the search functionality into Riak proper. Enabling it is a simple one line change in a configuration file. Do this and you've got distributed, full text search capabilities on top of Riak.
Support for LevelDB
Riak provides for pluggable storage backends, and we are constantly trying to improve the options we offer to our users. Google released LevelDB some months back, and we started to investigate it as a possible addition to our suite of supported backends. After some rigorous testing, what we found is that LevelDB had some attractive functionality and performance characteristics compared to our existing offerings (mainly Innostore), and it will be shipping in 1.0. Bitcask is still the default storage engine, but LevelDB, aside from being an alternative for key/value storage, is being used as the backend behind the new Secondary Indexing functionality.
- Leveling The Field (from the Basho Blog)
Cluster Membership
One of the most powerful components of Riak is riak_core, the distributed systems framework that, among many others things, enables Riak to scale horizontally. Riak's scalability and operational simplicity are of paramount importance to us, and we are constantly looking to make this code and system even better. With that in mind, we did some major work in 1.0 to improve upon our cluster membership system and are happy to report that it's now more stable and scalable than ever.
And So Much More …
Riak 1.0 is a massive accomplishment, and the features and code listed above are just the beginning of what this release has to offer. Take some time to read the lengthy release notes and you'll see what we mean.
These improvements are many months in the making, and the bug fixes, new features, and added functionality make Riak (in our humble opinion) the best open source database available today.
Thank You, Community!
We did our best to ensure that the community was as big a part of this release as possible, and there's no way the code and features would be this rock-solid without your help. Thanks for your usage, support, testing, debugging, and help with spreading the word about Riak and 1.0.
And 1.0 is just the beginning. We'll continue to refine and build Riak over the coming months, and we would love for you to be a part of it if you're not already. Some ways to get involved:

A Preview Of Cluster Membership In Riak 1.0
September 9, 2011
Being a distributed company, we make a lot of videos at Basho that are intended for internal consumption and used to educate everyone on new features, functionality, etc. Every once and a while someone makes a video that's so valuable it's hard not to share it with the greater community. This is one of those.
This screencast is a bit on the long side, but it's entirely worth it. Basho Software Engineer Joe Blomstedt put it together to educate all of Basho on the new cluster membership code, features, and functionality coming in the Riak 1.0 release (due out at the end of the month). We aim to make Riak as operationally-simple as possible to operate at scale, and the choices we make and code we write around cluster membership form the crux of this simplicity.
At the end of this you'll have a better idea of what Riak's cluster membership is all about, its major components, how it works in production, new commands that are present Riak 1.0, and much, much more.
And, if you want to dig deeper into what Riak and cluster membership is all about, start here:
* Download Riak 1.0 Pre-release 1
* Riak Core on GitHub
* Where To Start With Riak Core
* Join the Riak Mailing List
It should be noted again that this was intended for internal consumption at Basho, so Joe's tone and language reflect that in a few sections.
Enjoy, and thanks for being a part of Riak.

An Overview Of The All New Riak Java Client
July 14, 2011
Hi. My name is Russell Brown and since March, I've been working on the Riak Java Client (making me the lone Java developer in an Erlang shop). This past week I merged a large, backwards-compatible branch with some enhancements and long-awaited fixes and refinements. In this post I want to introduce the changes I've made and the motivations behind them. At Basho we firmly believe that Riak's Java interface is on track to be the among the best there is for Java developers who need a rock solid, production-ready database, so it's time you get to know it if you don't already.
First, Some History
When Riak was first released, it was only equipped with an HTTP API, so it followed that the Java client was a REST client. Later a Protocol Buffers Interface was added to Riak and Kresten Krab-Thorup and the team at Trifork contributed a Protocol Buffer's interface for the Java library. Later still, around version 0.14, the Trifork PB Client was merged into the official Basho Riak Java Client. With this added interface, however, came a problem: both clients work well but they don't share any interfaces or types. I started working for Basho in March 2011, my first task was to fix any issues with the existing clients and refactor them to a common, idiomatic interface. Some way into that task I was exposed to the rather brilliant Riak and Scala at Yammer talk given by Coda Hale and Ryan Kennedy at a Riak Meetup in San Francisco. This opened my eyes, and I'm very thankful to Coda and Ryan for sharing their expert understandings so freely. If you meet either of these two gentlemen, I urge you to buy them drinks.
A Common Interface
Having a common interface should be a no-brainer. Developers shouldn't have to chose upfront about a low-level transport and then have all their subsequent code shaped by that choice. To that end, I added a RawClient interface to the library that describes the set of operations you can perform with Riak. I also adapted each of the original clients to this interface. If all you want to do is pump data in, or pull raw data out of Riak, the PB RawClient adapter is for you. There are some figures on the Riak Wiki that show it's quite snappy. If you need to write a non-blocking client, or simply have to use the Jetty HTTP library, implementing this interface is the way to go.
There is some bad news here: I had to deprecate a lot of the original client and move that code to new packages. This will look a tad ugly in your IDE for a release or two, but it is better to make the changes than be stuck with odd packages for ever. There will be a code cull of the deprecated classes before the client goes v1.0.
The next task on the list for this raw package is to move the interfaces into a separate core project/package to avoid any circular dependency issues that will arise if you create your own RawClient implementation.The RawClient solves the common/idiomatic interface problem, but it doesn't solve the main new challenge that an eventually consistent, fault-tolerant datastore brings to the client: siblings.
Sibling Values
Before we move on, if you have the time please take a moment to read the excellent Vector Clocks page on the Riak wiki (but make sure you come back). Thanks to Vector Clocks Riak does all that it can to save you from dealing with conflicting values, but this doesn't guarantee they won't occur. The RawClient presents you with a Vector Clock and an array of sibling values, and you need to create a single, correct value to work with (and even write back to Riak as the one true value.) The new, higher-level client API in the Java Client makes this easier.
Conflict Resolution
Conflict resolution is going to depend on your domain. Your data is opaque to Riak, which is why conflict resolution is a read time problem for the client. The canonical example (from the Dynamo Paper) is a shopping cart. If you have sibling shopping carts you can merge them (with a set-union operation, for example) to get a single cart with the values from all carts present. (Yes, you can re-instate a removed item, but that is far better than losing items. Ask Amazon.) Keep the idea of a shopping cart fresh in your mind for the remainder of this post as it figures in some of the examples I've used.
A Few Words On Domain Conversion
You use a Bucket to get key/values pairs from Riak.
Bucket b = client.createBucket(bucketName) .nVal(1) .allowSiblings(true) .execute(); IRiakObject fetched = b.fetch("k").execute(); b.store("k", "my new value").execute(); b.delete("k").execute();
The Bucket is a factory for RiakOperations, and a Riak Operation is a fluent builder that, when executed, calls out out to Riak. "Fetch" and "Store" Riak Operations accept a Converter and ConflictResolution implementation from you so that the data Riak returns can be deserialised into a domain object and any siblings can be resolved. The library provides a Jackson-based JSONConverter that will convert the JSON payload of a Riak data item into an instance of some domain class; think of it as a bit like an ORM (but maybe without the "R").
final Bucket carts = client.createBucket(bucketName).allowSiblings(true).execute(); final ShoppingCart cart = new ShoppingCart(userId); cart.addItem("fixie"); cart.addItem("moleskine"); carts.store(cart).returnBody(false).retrier(DefaultRetrier.attempts(2)).execute();
Adding your own converters is trivial and I plan to provide a Jackson XML based one soon. Look at this test for a complete example.
Conflict Resolver
Once the data is marshalled into domain instances, your logic is run to resolve any conflicts. A trivial shopping cart example is provided in the tests here. The ConflictResolver interface has a single method that takes an array of domain instances and returns a single, resolved value.
T resolve(final Collection<T> siblings) throws UnresolvedConflictException;
It throws the checked UnresolvedConflictException if you need to bail out. Your code can catch this and make the siblings available to a user (for example) for resolution as a last resort. I am considering making this a runtime exception, and would like to hear what you think about that.
To talk about mutation I'm going to stick with the shopping cart example. Imagine you're creating a new cart for a visiting shopper. You create a ShoppingCart instance, add the toaster add the flambe set, and persist it. Meanwhile a network partition occurred and your user already added a steak knife set to a different cart. You're not really creating a new value, but you weren't to know. If you save this value you have a conflict to be resolved at a later date. Instead, the high level client executes a store operation as a fetch, convert, resolve siblings, apply a mutation and then store. In the case of the shopping cart that mutation would again be to merge the values of your new ShoppingCart with the resolved value fetched from Riak.
You provide an implementation of Mutation to any store operation. You never really know if you are creating a new value or updating an old one, so it is safer to model your write as a mutation to an existing value that results in a new value. This can be as simple as incrementing a number or adding the items in your Cart to the fetched Cart.
By default the library provides a ClobberMutator (it ignores the old value and overwrites it with a new one) but this is simply a default behaviour and not the best in most situations. It is better to provide your own Mutation implementation on a store operation. If you can model your values as logically monotonic or as transformations to existing values, then creating mutation implementations is a lot simpler.
As your project matures, you will firm up your ConflictResolvers, Mutations, and Converters into concrete classes, and at this point adding them for each operation is a lot more typing and code noise than you need (especially if you were using anonymous classes for your Mutation/ConflictResolver/Converter).
bucket.store(o) .withConverter(converter) .withMutator(mutation) .withResolver(resolver) .r(r) .w(w) .dw(dw) .retrier(retrier) .returnBody(false) .execute();
The library provides the DomainBucket class as a wrapper around the Bucket. DomainBuckets are constructed with a ConflictResolver, Mutation, and Converter and thereafter use those implementations for each operation. DomainBuckets are a convenient way to get a strongly typed view of a Bucket and only store/fetch values of that type. They are a touch of sugar that reduce noise and I advise you use them once your domain is established. This test illustrates the usage.
The Next Steps
That's about it. There is a Retrier interface and a default try-3-times-with-a-short-wait implementation (if the database is fault-tolerant,the client should be too, right?) but I'm going to push that down the stack to the RawClient layer so we can add cluster awareness to the client (with load balancing and all that good stuff).
I haven't covered querying (MapReduce and Link Walking) but I plan to in the next post ("Why Map/Reduce is easy with Java", maybe?). I can say that is one aspect that has hardly changed from the original client. The original versions used a fluent builder and so does this client. The main difference is the common API and the ability to convert M/R results into Java Collections or domain specific objects (again, thanks to Jackson). Please read the README on the repo for details and the integration tests for examples.
At the moment the code is in the master branch on GitHub. If you get the chance to work with it I'd love to hear your feedback. The Riak Mailing List is the best place to make your feelings and opinions known. There are a few wrinkles to iron out before the next release of the Java Client, and your input will shape the future direction of this code so please, don't be shy. We are on the lookout for contributors…

Building and Maintaining Community and Culture at a Distributed Company
June 27, 2011
This was originally posted on themarkphillips.com. Please use the original post for all comments.
When someone asks me, "Where is Basho located?", I usually respond with something along the lines of: "Much like Riak, we are completely distributed." Some three years ago our team was all working out of Cambridge, MA (which is still our headquarters). Slowly but surely the team grew in size, but it quickly became apparent that requiring all employees to work in the same geographic location would result in us missing out on some talented and downright brilliant people. So we resolved to "hire where the talent is."
As it stands right now we have physical offices in Cambridge, MA and San Francisco. The team, however, is now completely distributed; in addition to Cambridge and San Francisco (and several other CA cities), we have people in Oregon, Oklahoma (various locations), Florida, Colorado (various locations), New Jersey, North Carolina, Minnesota, Virginia (various locations), Maryland (various locations), Idaho, New York, Germany, and the UK. The latest tally put our entire team at just over thirty people.
Hiring where the talent is means we don't sacrifice great hires for location, but it also presents various hurdles when attempting to build culture and community. Anyone who works at a startup or as part of a small team can speak to the importance of culture. It's crucial that distributed employees feel as though they are part of a tight-knit crew. If you show up every day and your engagement with your coworkers doesn't go much beyond a few passing phrases in a chat client, you should be doing more. The leadership at Basho made it clear many moons ago that we were going to work hard to build culture and community. Just because you're committing code 1000 miles from your nearest colleague doesn't mean you need to feel like they are 1000 miles away.
I spend most of my time pursuing ways to strengthen and extend the various external communities that are growing out Basho's open source software, but I thought it might be useful to examine what we do internally to build community and culture. As should be apparent, we're not doing anything too crazy or innovative with the ways we connect and collaborate across states and countries. But it's the little things that matter when culture is concerned at a distributed company, and I think we do a lot of the little things well.
Real-Time Chat
For as long as I can remember, Basho has used Jabber for real-time chat collaboration. This is where we spend most of our time conversing, and the entire company idles in one room we call "bashochat." At any given time you can find any number of conversations happening concurrently; several developers might be chasing down a finicky bug while several others are discussing the merits of the latest cat meme. Hundreds (if not thousands) of messages fly through here daily. At times it can get a bit distracting, so signing off to focus is encouraged and done often. We also just started logging bashochat to make sure that those who are out for the day or signed off to chase a corner case can stay in the loop.
In addition to Jabber, the Client Services Team also uses Campfire as their chat software of choice (for various reasons). There's certainly no reason why multiple chat programs can't co-exist under the same corporate umbrella. Basho is flexible, and if it works for your team, go with it.
Interacting via Skype serves as a great compliment to what happens in Jabber (even if Skype itself offers less than five nines of uptime). Everyone uses Skype at least once daily for our morning status call. We are still small enough where getting the majority of the company on the phone for a 10 minute status call is feasible, so we do it. Topics range from "What's the current status of bug fix X for customer Y?" to "Did you get any questions at yesterday's meetup talk that you couldn't answer?" Video chats are also invaluable, and jumping on Skype to speak "face-to-face" for even five minutes is incredibly worthwhile and serves to reinforce the team feel (especially when a new hire is coming aboard).
Yammer is a great piece of software, and it recently worked its way into our suite of collaboration tools. When it was first introduced to our team (around the beginning of this year) I was a bit skeptical of how well it was going to work for us. We already use Jabber quite heavily. How would the two co-exist? Since then Yammer has become the home for low-volume, high quality messages that deserve more than just a passing glance or ephemeral response. In other words, the signal to noise ratio in Yammer is much higher; links to blog posts about Riak (or our competition), results of a long running benchmark (complete with graphs), or links to a new GitHub repo are all typical of what appears on Yammer. That said, the message volume has been growing steadily over the past months, and I'm curious and interested to see how this tool evolves for us.
Quarterly Meetups
At some point you have to actually meet and physically interact with your colleagues. To this end, we've been doing quarterly developer meetups for about six quarters now. These are 3-5 day gatherings of the entire team where it's business as usual, with the exception of some team building activities scattered throughout the week. Lots of amazing ideas and and moments are born at these meetups, and we all look forward to them.
Current Status
Basho is firing on all cylinders right now (fixing more bugs, writing more features, closing more deals, resolving more tickets, etc.), and I believe that our dedication to building a distributed culture and community internally has had a lot to do with it. Though Basho's "system" is still a work in progress, in my opinion we've managed to build a strong internal community and culture that lends itself to heightened levels of productivity and overall happiness. We are still relatively small (right around 30, as I stated above) and making this scale will surely be a challenge. And I'm sure that the tools we use will change, too, to accommodate our needs (speaking of which, where is the Skype replacement already?).
You can't force community and culture. It starts with how you hire and is tested every day (whether you're working in the same physical location or not). Build (or seek out) a team that is committed to making something special across the board. Collaboration tools and processes will follow according, and they should compliment and enhance the way you work, not dictate it.

TMNT "Shred or Die"
Designer Ian Leino has a new shirt today, Thursday June 21st at TeeFury.com that's a skateboarding themed design of the classic TMNT villain Shredder, illustrated in a retro graffiti style. It's just $10, but only for 24 hours. After that you'll be able to get it printed on American Apparel tri-blend shirts through Ian's own shop. Here's a quick word from the artist about the design:
"I have a theory that the TMNT and Shredder were really just skate park rivals – the Turtles were loose and artistic while Shredder was all about precision and technical perfection. Once a big Hollywood producer got ahold of the story, it quickly morphed into this weird thing with talking rats, vengeance stories and armies of ninjas. Everyone involved got huge checks for the rights to their story, but were forbidden from ever telling the truth, lest it topple the empire of cartoons and action figures that had sprung up. It was supposed to be about the skating, man!"

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
Newly refurbished in 2012, "Wayside" retains all the charm and simplicity of a true 1930's era beach cottage. Part of the Sutton Place cottage community in Truro's Beach Point, Wayside is located right on Sutton Place's private beach on Cape Cod Bay. Relax on the private beach, the cottage's private deck with water views, or the front porch. The downstairs has a living room, dining room, newly rebuilt kitchen and one bedroom. Upstairs are three more bedrooms and the bathroom. Sutton Place does not allow pets.
The cottage has a full kitchen with basic appliances like a toaster, microwave and coffee maker, as well as all needed cooking utensils, dishes, etc. An outdoor area has a table and chairs for dining al fresco, as well as a charcoal grill. Parking for three cars is available, as well as space to store bicycles, kayaks or beach toys. The cottage does not have a telephone, but has Internet and television service (if you want it).
Some accommodations are needed given that the building dates from the 1930's. The cottage does not have air-conditioning or central heat; to improve airflow two of the upstairs bedrooms feature seven foot dividers instead of full floor to ceiling walls. We do have several space heaters for cold days. A half-bath is upstairs, and a separate shower room is downstairs. We also have an enclosed outdoor shower with hot water. Guests are asked to bring their own towels and bed sheets, although we can provide linens for an additional fee if needed.
The downstairs bedroom has a queen bed, while the upstairs bedrooms feature a queen bed in one room, a full bed in another, and a twin bed with a pop-up trundle in the third bedroom.
We live in Boston with our two children. Ever since we met, we have summered in Beach Point and I can usually be found down the street at our cottage at Ocean Breeze.
Luisa Zauli purchased this cottage in 2012
Since I was a little girl, I've been coming to Beach Point, Truro each summer. My parents brought my brothers and me every year and we usually stayed at Wayside cottage in Sutton Place. As an adult, I introduced my own family to Beach Point and my husband and I eventually bought our own cottage nearby.
Sutton Place was always more than just a beachside hotel – it's a place where the same families would return year after year, building their own memories. It is a very special place, and my family has very special memories of our summers here. In 2011, when a developer purchased Sutton Place to create a cottage community, my husband and I were able to buy Wayside cottage. While I am sad to see the old Sutton Place go, I consider myself very fortunate to be able to preserve Wayside. My husband and I have put a lot of work into refurbishing this historic cottage, while preserving its special charm. I know that it, and the new Sutton Place, will continue to be part of a community of vacationers and I welcome you to this cottage that is so special to me.
Luisa Zauli
We have been coming to Wayside for over 21 years. Improvements have made but the charm of this house keeps bringing us back. We love just waking out the door to the water with sand on our feet and a nice breeze on our faces. The owners (Luisa and Warren) are terrific and keep making improvements year after year. We hope to be coming here for 21 more years.
We had a lovely week at Luisa's cottage. The location was great and my children loved that it was right on the bay. The house was nice a roomy. We had a wonderful stay. Luisa's was a excellent host.
The House: There's so much more space inside than I thought. Three bedrooms upstairs: one is grand with en suite bathroom, one is quite large, and one is perfectly normal sized, and one beautiful bedroom downstairs. The washer / dryer were new and so helpful for multiple families with kids. The outdoor shower is beautifully made and luxurious. The house really met all our needs. Tastefully decorated, fully stocked, the wireless worked well, etc.
Area: The house is one house back from the beach, but at high tide, the water was only 15 feet away. The geography of the place is a bit wild. You're way out on this narrow stretch of the Cape right before the end: ie. no trees, lots of roaring wind, which I found completely charming. You're on the bay side, so perfect for long walks at low tide, and sea shell gathering and critter finding (lots of hermit crabs, snails, etc.). It was really convenient to Provincetown - could bike ride there - which took some pressure off our family, since small groups could jaunt off easily without too much hassle or fuss.
Luisa was a great host, very responsive and thoughtful. I would recommend Wayside to anyone looking for a real Cape experience.
This house was perfect for my family and I. A great layout for a family to enjoy. One large bedroom downstairs along with a mid-size living room, kitchen and dining room towards the back of the house. The back door leads to a shared area with beach and ocean just steps away from the house. My cousins who are all under the age of 6 loved the waves and the beach. The outdoor shower was a pleasant surprise and I must say it was just great to take a shower outside to wash off the sand before going back into the house. The upstairs has 3 good sized bedrooms with plenty of space for all. This house was so full ocean breezes it was incredible to just relax anywhere in the house and enjoy the cross breezes. Nice front porch to get out of the sun and say hi to the locals and other vacationers who pass by. The shuttle comes by every hour to pick you up right out in front of the house. Then head into town to enjoy the Provincetown atmosphere, grab a bite to eat, go shopping and of course get some ice cream. We will definitely consider renting this house again. What a great vacation!
This is a fantastic place to vacation. Wayside really has the charm of what the Cape really is. We absolutely love this spot and hope to return for years to come.
We had a great time at the house. It was so nice to be at Sutton Place again, we missed it last year. The washer and dryer and improvements that you did with the bathroom are very nice. We were surprised at how much was in the kitchen, and appreciated it. Thank you for checking in with us while we were there to make sure everything was ok. The bottle of wine was a nice surprise. We are saving the bottle for one of those cold days this winter when we want to remember our week at the Cape.
"Wayside" is right on Cape Cod Bay, in the Beach Point area of North Truro at the end of Cape Cod. Relax on our private bay-side beach with its peaceful view of Provincetown across the harbor, enjoy hiking or biking through the natural dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore, or take a short drive to the natural and un-crowded ocean-side beaches in Truro and Provincetown. Nearby Highland Golf Links is a true links course and the oldest golf course on Cape Cod.
You can drive, walk, bike or take the convenient Providence Shuttle into nearby Provincetown with its many attractions. A former Portuguese fishing village, Provincetown manages to be both historic and glamorous at the same time. Stretching for three miles along the tip of Cape Cod, Provincetown boasts art galleries, fine dining, clam and lobster shacks, shopping, picturesque walks, and a vibrant night life. You can rent a sailboat or jet ski at Flyer's, catch a day ferry to Boston, go whale watching or hire a fishing charter, play tennis at the Provincetown Tennis Club, work out in a gym, or hike to the very end of the cape where, as Thoreau said, "a man can stand … and put all of America behind him." Famous Wellfleet village, with its quaint shops, quiet streets, and picturesque harbor is about a fifteen minute drive.

I put most of my mead in 1.5 litre wine bottles (and the rest in regular capped bottles). Should I store the corked bottles on their side and not worry about the minimal amount of sediment that will get resuspended when it is served? Will storing them standing up for about a year cause the corks to dry out?
- magno
About a week after I bottled my mead, (and I swear it was clear when I did) I had laid them on their sides from the start, and when I drew them out for labeling, I noticed each of them had a strip of sediment sticking to the side. Well, I was upset about this, so I stuck the bottles in the refridgerator right side up to get any and all sediment to sink to the bottom with the intention of re-bottling (minus this sediment).
Is this a good idea, or does this sediment matter? I am sure I never saw any sediment go into the bottles when I bottled it, and the liquid itself is still very clear...
Primary: Empty
#6001 Chardonnay
#6002 JAO Mead
#6003 Traditional Cider
The sediment shouldnt hurt anything, other than apearance.
If you aged it long enough in secondary, the yeast should have fermented all the availble sugar, so carbonation/ bottle bombs shouldnt be a issue.
I wouldnt bother rebottling.

How can I make an easy pasta sauce that tastes as good as the stuff you buy in Jars? My attempts are usually tasteless...
A basic tomato sauce starts with sauteeing onion and garlic, and carrots, if you wish to add them; add to that a spoonful of tomato paste, and saute until it darkens a bit. Add a half-cup or so of red wine and let that cook for a bit until it loses the "raw" smell. Add two 28-oz. cans of diced tomatos, bring to a boil, and add basil and oregano. Simmer until the tomatos begin to break down and the sauce thickens. You can add any number of other things -- red pepper flakes, balsamic vinegar, meat, cheese -- whatever strikes your fancy.

Can windows in garage doors affect the temperature inside?
We are building a home in Central CT with a 3-car attached garage. Assuming that the house is insulated properly, do windows in the garage doors make it less insulated? The master bath is above the garage and I don't want it to be cold in the winter. The doors face the south.
It depends on the garage design. The additional heat loss through the glass will be proportional to the area of the glass, insulated door panels, and the exterior walls, the R value of those elements, the temperature to which you intend to heat the garage, and the amount and kind of insulation you put in the ceiling.
The issue will be the cost of heating the garage enough to keep the bathroom floor warm and avoid pipes freezing. You might want to put electric heating mats under the bathroom tile.
The ceiling insulation should be spray foam in order to seal it from cold air leaks and avoid CO poisoning to the occupants above if a car is left running below.
Just an opinion: an unheated garage will be cold in winter with or without windows, and the windows would have minimal effect on the temperature. I would rather walk into a garage with some natural light. Heating the bathroom floor is the way to go.
Thanks everyone. We have no plans to heat the garage. I am more concerned with the temp of the rooms above it and was wondering if garage windows make a significant difference as far as allowing more cold air into the garage and therefore making the rooms above it colder. Sounds like they don't make a huge difference and we should focus on making sure the ceiling in the garage is insulated properly and possibly putting heated floors in the bathroom. Thank you all for your input!
Glass lights in a garage door would not "allow more cold air into the garage"; it would be the perimeter of the door that would allow that.
What the glass lights will do is allow heat to leave the garage and whether that is substantially more than what a blank door panel would allow depends on the R-value of the of the blank door panels and the U value of the glass.
Since we don't know any of that information we can't respond to your question. However, if the garage is not mechanically heated, it would effectively be heated by the interior spaces adjacent to it and above it. That means the bathroom above will be giving up heat to the garage as fast as the floor/ceiling insulation will allow. the heating system in the bathroom would be designed to replace that lost heat. the fact that the heat loss is at the floor makes that considerably more difficult but not impossible.
You should seal the bottom of the floor with as much spray foam insulation as you can afford and not worry about the door glass; it's the least of your heat loss problems.
My builder had a unique solution to this problem. He constructed an area immediately below my bathroom. It was maybe 3 feet deep. He insulated the exterior walls with insulation. He then gave the area its own vent to and from the Hvac. My bathroom floor is never cold in the morning.

The dentists in 2011 sued a colleague, Dr. Mike Bowers, for defamation after Bowers cited the Starks case at a conference of forensic dentists as an example of a wrongful conviction because of bite-mark evidence. The lawsuit was later dismissed.
However, a lawsuit filed by Starks against Schneider and Hagstrom is pending. In May, a federal judge refused to dismiss allegations against the dentists of violating Starks' constitutional rights, malicious prosecution and conspiracy.
- Dan Young and Harold Hill Jr., of Chicago. Hill, 16 at the time, and Young, 31 and mentally disabled, were convicted in the 1990 rape and murder of 39-year-old Kathy Morgan and sentenced to life in prison. At their trial, a forensic dentist, Dr. John Kenney, linked a bruise and a bite mark on Morgan's body to Hill and Young.
In 2004, DNA tests showed that hairs found at the scene and on material under Morgan's fingernails could not have come from Hill or Young. They were freed in January 2005. Later analysis of the bite-mark evidence contradicted Kenney's finding.
Kenney told the AP in an interview that he never said the bite mark and bruise definitively matched Hill and Young. "I think I said it was consistent with," Kenney said. "It was not, `These are the guys that did it.' Not a positive ID."
He declined to say whether he stands behind his original analysis.
Kenney said that the case was "a long time ago" and that standards have since changed. He said that more modern technology is available for bite-mark analysis, just as in other inexact forensic sciences, and that it still has a place in courtrooms.
- Anthony Keko, of Plaquemines Parish. He was convicted in 1991 in his estranged wife's killing and sentenced to life in prison. Dr. Michael West, a forensic dentist, testified Keko matched a bite mark he said he found on the woman's shoulder upon exhumation of her body 14 months after burial. Prosecutors had no other evidence.
A judge reversed Keko's conviction and freed him in 1994 after some of West's other cases began drawing scrutiny.
- Willie Jackson, of Natchez, Miss. He was convicted in 1989 of rape in Marrero, La., 180 miles from where he lived, after the victim identified him in a lineup and a forensic dentist testified that bite marks matched Jackson's teeth, even though Jackson's brother, Milton Jackson, confessed to the rape just days after the crime and Jackson lived far away. Police focused on Willie Jackson because one of his bank statements was found at the crime scene.
DNA testing later showed Jackson was innocent, and he was exonerated in 2006.
A different forensic dentist later found the earlier bite-mark analysis was incorrect, and further DNA testing pointed to Milton Jackson, who was serving a life sentence for an unrelated rape.
- Edmund Burke, of Walpole. Burke was arrested in 1998 in the death of 75-year-old Irene Kennedy, of Foxboro, who was beaten and stabbed while walking in a park in Walpole. Burke spent 41 days in prison after forensic dentist Dr. Lowell Levine told investigators bite marks on Kennedy's breasts matched Burke's teeth "to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty."

Guns: Profane to Mention
In a free country, a gun isn't just a tool for self-defense and hunting. It is the reification of liberty — the empowerment of the individual concretized as something you can actually hold in your hands. This is why liberals not only fear firearms, but regard them as profane. They are using their control of public schools to ensure future generations hold guns in the same regard:
An English teacher at Denton High School in the Dallas-Fort Worth area allegedly refused to grade two student reports because they discussed guns.
MyFoxDFW.com reports that the teacher, Dewey Christian, told his students to write a report on anything they wanted.
Marshall Williams, one of Christian's students, told the station he chose to write about a Fort Worth gun show he had attended. He said Christian told him he would get a zero on the assignment because of the topic.
Another student, Alex Wright, said Christian rejected his report because it mentioned hunting.
Good thing this happened in Texas. A big enough stink was raised that the Denton Independent School District issued a statement declaring that
"The teacher has accepted the paper and apologized to the student for misperceptions. The teacher's intent was for guns not to be trivialized in any school situation because of recent events."
Shine a light on the rats and they will often retreat to their hidey holes — for now.
