The @roidrage meatballs extravaganza.

The secret ingredient to this recipe is letting everything stew for a few hours. First the tomato sauce, requires at least 90 minutes to 2 hours. Then the meatballs in the sauce another 90 minutes. The longer the better.

Once the meatballs are in the sauce, the more time you give them, the more delicious flavor will seep from the meat into the sauce, and vice versa. I'd recommend giving it a total of four hours for maximum taste extraction.

The long stew ensure that the fluids have evaporated and that you're left with the tastiest meatballs you've ever had.

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

logstash queries graphed with graphite.

Operation: Decouple whisper from graphite.

Method: Create a graphite function that does a date histogram facet query against elasticsearch for a given query string for the time period viewed in the current graph.

Reason: graphite has some awesome math functions. Wouldn't it be cool if we could use those on logstash results?

The screenshot below is using logstash to watch the twitter stream of keywords "iphone" "apple" and "samsung" - then I graph them each, so we get an idea of popularity. As a bonus, I also do a movingAverage() on the iphone curve to show you why this is awesome.
