I'm working on my online resume and having trouble with the personal statement.

There's a part where you have to sum yourself up in two sentences.

I guess this is supposed to be where you show your creativity but I can't help feeling that any two-sentence summary of myself is going to fall short in some way.

I'm wondering if anyone here could suggest an approach.

I have an interview where I need to talk about an app I created. The app is closed source and doesn't identify me anywhere on screen. How do you persuade someone that you're the creator in that case?

I'm wondering what to put on the About page of my app. I'm debating whether to put up a friendly looking smiling photo of myself. As much as I'm a private person, I feel that my app requires that I indentify myself personally with it. Any tips for how to do this?

When you buy a domain do you buy a lot of related domains (.net, .org and other similar sounding names).

I assume there's a chance that a competitor could buy these and take some traffic from mispellings, etc.

But if you don't know how successful your app is going to be, this can be a lot of upfront expense.

I don't know who is behind Gemcutter or how it came to be that I woke up a few days ago and Gemcutter was the newly appointed hosting service for Ruby gems.

Was there a vote?

Who decided this?

How did they make that decision?

Here's my thought and tell me if this crazy.

Google is, by some accounts, a well funded company which is likely to be around for a few years to come.

They also happen to provide free code hosting for open source projects.

You see where I'm going with this? Yeah, why not host Ruby gems on Google Code!? Crazy? Please tell me why. Thanks.

Gemcutter seems to have displaced Github as the gem host of choice these days. That's not a plug - I have no dog in this fight.

But I am wondering how reliable they will be over the long term since I don't see much evidence of a business plan. They prominently display the Heroku and ThoughtBot logos on the main page.

But there must be more to their business model than simple sponsorship?

Or it simply not very expensive to host all of the world's gems?
