Post on the Facebook engineering blog announing the move. This is great since more people can now use thrift in places like corporations since it has been vetted by apache.
There is also mention of a fully asynchronous c++ client and server which I could really use…
The new home for thrift is here, check it out and use it with your project.
Just booked my tickets to San Francisco, I’ll be there from the March 26th – 30th. I’m going to try and meet with as many people as I can while I’m there and promote Thrift and Thrudb. I’ll also finally meet Ross!
If you are in the Bay Area and want to meet up drop me a line. Know of any fun events going on that week?

I hate developing from windows but sometime you just have to. I have always used putty which is amazing BUT it doesn’t offer tabbed sessions so I end up with 5-10 windows which clutters up my desktop. Thats all poderosa is, tabbed ssh2 sessions and it works very well!
Ever think about what kind of person you would be thousands of years ago? Before modern conveniences or education… where the point of life was to survive and adapt. What would you be or do?
I’d be a Hunter.
The modern world doesn’t need hunters anymore but I see a lot of similarities between hunters and entrepreneurs. Hunters know they have to eat to survive. They aren’t interested in waiting around for food to be brought back to the tribe they go out and take it. They succeed despite their fears and shortcomings. These are all things that I believe drive entrepreneurs, including myself.
The hunt is for the idea, the execution, the team… the hunt is on.
I hate complicated things. I don’t think things ever really need to be complicated especially when it comes to small devices or software. If something is complicated or difficult to use then whoever made it didn’t know what they really wanted to build.
Recently i found the best example of an easy to use device I’ve ever encountered. Its this little adapter for your iPod made by nike. You pop one end in your shoe and one end on your iPod and you start running. When you sync your iPod it uploads your run to nike and you can view it. You can also share your runs, like I have below, set personal goals or “race” your friends virtually.
What a great device I don’t have to turn it on, or off or upload it by hand, its just an added benefit. low friction!
