Interesting Ideas with Carl
This morning I was chatting with Carl (that's not his name) - the guy that used to be my manager, but went to the West Coast, and now is looking to move back to Chicago... We were chatting about an idea he had - of using Salesforce.com as the source of data for sales projection algorithms. Then I remembered that Heroku got acquired by Salesforce and there's a specialized connect platform between Heroku and Salesforce for just this kind of scalable application building.
Heroku also handles Postgres as a Service, and they support clojure very nicely. In all, it sounded like a really nice platform to build this on. I can't way to see what Carl comes up with next.
