The F5 key is not a build process. It’s a quick and dirty substitute. If that’s how you build your software, I regret that I have to be the one to tell you this, but your project is not based on solid software engineering practices.

Gittip – inspiring generosity

Gittip – inspiring generosity

WHAT IS GITTIP?

Gittip is a way to give small weekly cash gifts to people you love and are inspired by.

Gifts are weekly. The intention is for people to depend on money received through Gittip in order to pay their bills, and bills are recurring.

Gifts come with no strings attached. You don’t know exactly where your gifts come from, and the maximum gift from one person to another is $24.

Gifts are public. The total amount you give and the total amount you receive is public. Participants on both sides of the equation are rewarded publicly for their participation. (You can opt out of publicly displaying your total giving.)

JIF, not GIF

Mashable reports that Steve Wilhite, the inventor of GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), during the lifetime achievement ceremony insisted that it’s pronounced “JIF”, not “GIF”.

JIF, not GIF

 

[rant mode on]What?!  “GIF” is not “GIF, but “JIF”?  Non-sense!  It’s give, not jive.  Girls, not jirls.  Gift, not jift.  And even if he believes that that’s the correct way to pronounce it, how irresponsible is that to attract attention to this issue now?  It’s just like throwing a barrel of petrol into the pronunciation holy war flames of GNU, Gnome, Gimp, and other pillars of Open Source Software.[rant mode off]
