Looks great, is it bad i'm already wishing it could export to pdf for speakerdeck? Does that defeat the simplicity?
Just got this book, and i'm loving it.
I live in Austin, please don't do this. Not to mention our sidewalks aren't nearly as dirty as say LA, and it won't look as nice. A few years ago whrrrl put down a bunch of chalk on the sidewalks and never cleaned it up, it's still there and now it's just embarrassing. Graffiti is graffiti. Etching your name into dirt is still etching your name into something.
You should not use SQLite in production.
they don't seem to be related to foursquare at all...no about us/contacts page
Is this a facebook/phishing app?
interesting idea, though in keeping away from feature bloat, wouldn't it be much much easier, and just as effective to put that information in the read me?
I realize the you said they don't want to but the info there, but why? If you really wanted to abandon the project why not just close the repo, which would shift all your traffic to another fork?
If github implemented this feature, I wouldn't be upset, but it seems very single purpose. Maybe a status flag, so the author can not just say "abandoned", but "up to date", or "active" though again, all of that can be seen through the commit history.
Just my 2 cents.
Read on slicehost, ask questions on server fault -> repeat
I bought logo design love (book) and was emailed by the "author" asking me to write a review...so i did
How did you do this? With the voting?
Next time one of your developers says that they think a feature is a bad idea because they "don't understand the use-case" make them do tech support for a week.
Are there any relative merits to standardizing on a www sub-domain versus standardizing on non-www sub-domain?
Be warned, though, that neither alternative is generally appealing to investors.
So what kind of corporate entity would be appealing to investor?
Aren't unpaid internships illegal?
Updated: Yes, sometimes...i read the rest of the article.
A minor usability point. If you hover over an X on the left, your cursor should change to a hand. Site looks good.
Someone want to recap, so I don't have to pay 39.95 to read my morning news?
I like the service and just applied for an invite. The demo on the main page shows changing text can you also change css, swap images, or use different html elements?
After mastermind you should have added "Bwahahahahaha" (maniacal mastermind laughter)
>You have to be a qualified investor.
Does this mean that startups can no longer take money from friends and family?
Wouldn't it be cheaper (stickers aren't free) and more effective to remove the poster? Nasa made a 1 million dollar pen to write in space, the Russians...
That's why i will never run my webpage on your server :)
In all seriousness, does anyone have a cache or mirror?
Wish I failed when i was in highschool. I had to wait till i got into the real world to have that honor.
Consider it money and time well spent. Knowledge is power.
I would do it for a Klondike bar.
I upvoted you back up. When does one get the ability to down mod, i have over 100 karma, do i need to top 1000? not that i have a deep desire to downmod people, i'm curious
Hmm...i got a casino advertisement...to a news website doesn't seem too targeted.
There are no measures to the amount of joy this tool has given me in the past five minutes. Thank you!
A question to ask yourself. If you were a "scheduling, project management, and facility management person or working for a recording, film, or production studio" where would your eyeballs be?
Are there magazines that would be interested in featuring your product, rather than just putting an ad in it? Who are the movers and shakers that all of your potential clients look towards for advice? Can you get an interview with one of them, post the interview on your websites' blog. Looks like your product targets music studios...so go out and talk to them, ask what they're currently using, and see how you would be capable of solving their problems...use this opportunity to gain users and possibly evangelists.
So, my take aways from this interview:
He doesn't know how he got the attention of the press. He doesn't know why exactly his product succeeded. He has no tips on any secrets of what got Wikipedia going.
The one thing i got out of this interview: Reporters will not understand you and will not understand your product.
Interview is informative if you're interested in wikipedia history, such as how it got started. I like the idea of the series though, Gaining "Traction" can be a black art, would be interested in more material.
This is an awesome display of the info we freely give out. If this app was fully functional it would also list the nearest pawn shop and crack dealer.
