AdCycle is interesting indeed, but poses the dual problem of being PHP based and running on MySql. I'm willing to take on this extra burden if I _have_ to, but first need to know if it can solve my problem.
On the Adcycle.com forum, I posted [Adcycle.com forum] my specific problem a few days back and it seems to be the only posting up there without a single reply.
Until I know Adcycle can handle an issue like this, I don't have the cycles needed to research it more in depth.
I've filled in DoubleClick's form for a sales rep to contact me two times. They've not. Their sales guys must be soooo busy, that they have to turn away busines...
This is indeed an option I've considered and one we might implement if we get extremely pressed for time and need to have a system up--right now, we have the luxury of a couple of weeks; we can launch (in Beta) without a system in place.
However, long-run, we need a much more robust solution where we can target at the category and a content level, gather stats, create campaigns, experation dates, etc...
I'm hesitant to introduce PHP (most systems seem to be running MySQL) as we're JSP on Postgres, and I don't wan't to add 2 more (big) things to have to worry about. But seeing how all the robust solutions out there ARE in PHP, I'm starting to become curious how JSP and PHP would cohabitate.
After having served in developer, project-management, and VP roles, consistantly putting in more hours is not the solution to the problem.
If your employer/owner is insisting that you need more hours and weekend times, you _*need*_ to tell him to:
1) Get better project management
2) Get more engineers or pay more (double?)
3) Expect worse quality
Frankly, your employer is being an ass. Be up front with him. If you're afraid of losing your job, you probably shouldn't be working for someone like that anyway.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

I was hoping for a solution I can roll out with our launch in a week. You think I'll be able to get that done in a week? ;-)
We're finding ourselves in a position where PHP seems to be the only solution out there--something I find amazingly bizarre.
JSP _is_ the way we want to go, but I don't see ANY alternatives out there as of yet(hmmm, new Sourceforge project?).
We've looked at solutions like AdJuggler.com, adservingsolutions.com, but no one but no one can handle dynamic pages!
Why Not? There's enought comic buyers in the US, not to mention the world, that $40M might actually be worth paying to avoid a boycott.
What live backup software are you using? I'd be interested in knowing.

I live in Greece right now, in a suburb of Athens called Voula, and they're a couple of large Internet cafe's here which have games.
Not to mention the largest gaming cafe I've ever seen in my life was in Crete.
There's absolutely nothing about banning games in Greece in the news.

Absolutely! It looks like one. I'm NEVER going to use the digital camera that comes with it. They should have nixed the cam and put in a phone.
I have to agree. By far, one of the coolest and most diverse (and customizable) IDE's I've EVER used.
One down-side: not enough of a "community" behind it.
