php.ini hacks: –with-config-file-scan-dir and ini variable expansion

Frank Ruscica August 3, 2006 at 12:40 am

Michael,

How are you? I’m Frank Ruscica. I’m writing because:

* I have developed a business plan that details how Yahoo can dramatically increase its ad revenue by establishing a popular online market for customized

education and career services (CECS) (Previous versions of the plan were praised effusively by executives at Microsoft and Amazon.com.)

* I have just applied for a Media Strategy Analyst position at Yahoo that is a good fit for someone with a plan and background like mine

* An employee referral often improves an applicant’s chances (the identifier for

the position is below)

An adaptation of my business plan is online at http://landof.opportunitv.com. The site also contains information about my background.

Here’s an overview of the plan:

Information is the lifeblood of any market.

The more popular an online market gets, then, the more opportunities there are to profit from online media (including media that is generated by software, and media that is created by market participants at a website owned by the

market-maker).

Advertisers love media that appeals to the young and upwardly mobile.

The online markets that will create the most lucrative media opportunities, then, are markets that help the young to be upwardly mobile.

The biggest such market will be the market for CECS.

The best way to establish a popular CECS market is to first establish and popularize a transparent online market for the advertisement spaces on

single-creator media (e.g., blogs, podcasts). (A transparent market is one wherein all prices are publicly known.)

The latter market will also help the young to be upwardly mobile.

Both markets, then, will give rise to a lot of media that is very attractive to advertisers.

Better still, the markets will also generate revenue from transactions.

Three keys to popularizing the aforesaid ad-space market are:

* opening the market to all media producers

* augmenting the market’s website with features that facilitate the production

and distribution of media

* using the site to create branded media that:

* increases awareness of the markets

* showcases participants in the markets

* generates profits

This media can generate significant profits, not least because:

* the nucleus accumbens — the part of the brain that gives rise to psychological addiction — is fired by increased prospects of financial gain

* America is ideally suited to gain many good jobs from the growth of the CECS industry

These profits will become increasingly important as sites like Revver.com collapse the ad-sale margins of sites that host user-created media.

Maximizing these profits on a risk-adjusted basis requires:

* managing a portfolio of media properties and making phased investments in production value

* aligning incentives with a broadcast TV network, so shows that prove popular online and/or through video-on-demand can expeditiously gain the broadest

distribution

[/overview]

Yahoo can easily align incentives with a broadcast TV network, of course.

So Yahoo is well positioned to establish a popular CECS market.

Yahoo’s first steps toward this end should be to recruit the right lead architects for the most scarce and valuable parts of a ‘1.0’ maker of the

aforesaid ad-space market, which should be hosted at OpportuniTV.com.

The most valuable parts are:

* the sitcom — Land of OpportuniTV — that is the optimal centerpiece of the markets-maker’s ‘1.0’ media portfolio

* the best software tools for rapidly developing software applications for searching online social/professional networks (e.g., blog networks)

I have developed the premise for Land of OpportuniTV, and the treatment (i.e., detailed outline) of the pilot episode, and both designs are as provably optimal as such designs can be. (My submission to the New York TV Festival’s “one-minute pitch” competition is online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMkKa_U14sY.

Details about the pitch competition are online at

http://www.newyorktelevisionfestival.com/)

My colleague David Warren is an ACM Fellow computer scientist who has spent over fifteen years developing the software engine that is the ideal foundation for the aforesaid search tools.

So if Yahoo hires me, I will recruit David, and we will be off to the races 🙂

As a first step, I applied for the aforesaid Media Strategy Analyst position (Job No. RX1000011893).

I don’t know how you can recommend me for this position, but please let me know if I can help you to do so.

Thanks kindly for any consideration you can extend. Of course, feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, etc.

Best regards,

Frank Ruscica
