I hate that the header stays fixed, takes up like half the screen

wow this is awesome, should hopefully reduce the rather steep initial legal costs for early stage startups
Re:Amazon EC2 down? on Friday June 15, 2012 @02:31AM (#4115336)
For the scheduled ones, I think I did receive some prior notice, I might have gotten particularly unlucky with a bunch of emergency/network/etc. maintenance affecting many of my servers simultaneously.

ironically, we moved away from linode last month because they kept doing maintenance and turning off our machines without telling us

how are you quickly failing over from one to another?
Re:Heroku is down on Thursday June 07, 2012 @12:41PM (#4079915)
things seem to be working for me, but Heroku seems a little off still. I got an error when I tried to view my app logs though, which is a little scary
looks great, can't wait to try it

Re:TylerWM - a tiling window manager for OSX on Thursday February 23, 2012 @12:57PM (#3625924)
I love Divvy - it allows me to set sizes for my windows really easily (opposite approach of automatically tiling them), but it works much better for me than anything else I've seen

Re:Introducing Asana: The Modern Way to Work Together on Wednesday November 02, 2011 @07:17PM (#3189376)
one of my biggest issues with asana is that it doesn't make it easy to see due dates, weekly to dos etc. for tasks (let alone real prioritization). I really suggest they put in a facebook-notification style section so I can see what I have due in my near future

Re:Pendule – A Neat Web Developer Plugin on Saturday October 08, 2011 @12:39PM (#3088297)
This is pretty cool, I thought it would overlap with Chrome's own tools but its a useful set of utilities that complement it

Re:Karmurl - Give Feedback on Websites to Get Feedback on Saturday September 17, 2011 @06:15AM (#3007704)
I actually liked using this, really friendly and easy to use interface. I would definitely use this for a personal website or a small project
Re:Quora Pivot$ on Thursday September 08, 2011 @02:40PM (#2975098)
I think this will probably hurt Qoura more than anything, new members are not going to want to "pay" experts limited points (I imagine this will turn into "reputation points" like SO that people can share) to do anything Side note: I wonder if bounties on SO are working?
