Here are some interesting links from Start-up news:

Paul Graham’s Y-combinator has created new news site called Start-up news. Here is Paul Graham’s annoucement for the launch. He states the intention of the site as

..the most important goal of news.ycombinator was to create a place where founders and would-be founders can meet and talk.

He is also using the forum as a means to interact with potential Y-combinator candidates.

Again, Paul Graham is leading the way on how to promote ideas and encourage would-be entrepreneurs.

Here are the slides from my talk this afternoon.

Here’s a tip on how to turn on HTTPD compression on your php site.

Option 1) Edit your php.ini file

; Transparent output compression using the zlib library
; Valid values for this option are 'off', 'on', or a specific buffer size
; to be used for compression (default is 4KB)
; Note: Resulting chunk size may vary due to nature of compression. PHP
;       outputs chunks that are few handreds bytes each as a result of compression.
;       If you want larger chunk size for better performence, enable output_buffering
;       also.
; Note: output_handler must be empty if this is set 'On' !!!!
;       Instead you must use zlib.output_handler.
zlib.output_compression = On

Option 2) If you haven’t got access to the php.ini file. Create this .htaccess file to your home directory to turn on compression.

AddType application/x-httpd-php php .htm .html
php_flag zlib.output_compression on

I’m speaking at the WDANZ conference tomorrow. I’m speaking about two things close to my heart – “ZoomIn” and “Optimising websites for Speed”.

I look forward to meeting web developers from all over the Canterbury region.

Interesting stats from Rankr this week . MSN has just jumped past google and trade me on Rankr stats this week.

I wonder if Vista has anything to do with this ????
