Linux.com :: New York Times opens up code
The New York Times likes open source — so much so that, as it gradually moves more of its print operations online, it is nurturing a Web development team that has released two of its own open source projects. XSL Cache is a PHP extension the Times is using to cache stylesheets on its Web site. DBSlayer is a tool the team developed to overcome LAMP scaling limitations that caused database replication processes to overwhelm the DB connection limits.
46 Tax Deductions that Bloggers Often Overlook
46 Tax Deductions that Bloggers Often Overlook: Interesting post from a guest blogger on Darren’s ProBlogger. This is definitely something I will have to check out during tax time. Though I make very little money after expenses from WeblogToolsCollection.com, a nice tax benefit from all the spending would be very welcomed.
Paid or Free for WSJ.com?
Murdoch’s Choice: Paid or Free for WSJ.com? WSJ might be following the NY Times in making their newspaper site free as well. However, what surprised me about the article was the total audience per year that is quoted. Apparently, WSJ online has about 14 million unique visitors per year which is very odd because weblogtoolscollection.com had an audience of about 1.2 million unique visitors since the beginning of this year. They might also be talking about absolute unique visitors, and is that was the case, weblogtoolscollection.com had about 600,000 of them since the first of this year. I wonder how many absolute unique visitors TechCrunch has.
Microsoft Reveals Windows Vista SP1 Will Install XP
Microsoft Reveals Windows Vista SP1 Will Install XP: That would be very nice. I have yet to upgrade to Windows Vista because of incompatibilities with existing apps at work (some of which I maintain 
) but this would work for me. Yes, I fell for this one and I fell hard!
PubMatic
PubMatic: I have worked closely with these guys after reading about them on Techcrunch and I was pleasantly surprised. Rajeev was very easy and friendly to work with and he is a good listener (which is a rarity in this web 2.0 world). Use Pubmatic to increase your Google AdSense revenue by letting them determine the best colors for your AdSense ads and also letting them choose the best advertising network for your ads. This does work. My blogs are terrible when it comes to Adsense and there was a 30% increase in revenue when I switched. I just wish (ethical) advertising revenue was as easy to come by as John Chow makes it sound!
