On App Cloning
I did one ego-driven google search of the app I’m currently working on.. So far the results and feedbacks are good. I’m a bit surprised with some of the results. Our app was launched last March and I already see lots of requests to clone it in various freelance sites. Somehow, it made me feel good. We must did a helluva good job that people wanting to copy us.
I can’t say the app cannot be cloned/copied. Heck, nothing’s impossible nowadays. But the rates they’re offering to clone us is unbelievable. One request offered $300. The lowest I found offered $100. That’s nowhere near of what my boss pay us. The app may seem easy to replicate. Actually, it’s a no-brainer. It’s the resources behind it that’s mind-blowing.
For now, we’re going to enjoy being the only one offering such service. And even if they come close to copying the functionality, we’re in the process of adding a serious feature that in itself is can spawn yet another app.

Somebody asked me if I am a photographer. I am not. Just somebody with a camera and actually use and having fun with it. I don't care how the photos will turn out. I capture what fancies me.

Where are the signs to help me get out of this place. If I should stumble on my moment in time, how will I know? If the story's written on my face, does it show?

- Terminal theme for Mac OS X
For somebody who's on Mac OS X, hasn't gotten used to Textmate and uses Vim for development, I love the IR Black terminal theme together with IR Black vim color scheme.
