News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I really love the idea of this but it seems incredibly arduous to keep it updated. Everytime I do something, call someone, have a conversation, learn something new, have lunch, etc - it all has to be tracked.

I suppose this is the price to be paid if one wants to track all of those things, but much like many other CRMs there are integration points that could make this far less work for the consumer.

Thoughts or plans on this?

Re:Database management for public and private clouds on Wednesday November 28, 2012 @08:29PM (#4845826)
I can say as a beta tester, this product has huge potential! Can't wait for more. Great to see Scoble covering this.
Re:Perfectum Dashboard on Monday November 05, 2012 @08:45PM (#4746838)
This is super nice. I love it. Sometimes feels over the top, but nicely themed.
Incredible app and super fast pairing, feels nearly instant. I hope to see this technology in more of their apps. I think the possibilities are huge with a ton of potential in other apps.
Love this idea! I need to get more familiar with a lot of these frameworks
Re:Rackspace launches new OpenStack cloud on Monday April 16, 2012 @03:08PM (#3848811)
This is actually really great. One of the things I hated so far about Rackspace Cloud was that I couldn't scale the resources independently. If I need to upgrade to multiple CPU's or more RAM I don't want to be required to double or triple my disk capacity - that's a giant waste, especially with the availability of Cloud Files.

Now if their Database hosting would include Mongo, I'm sold!

Re:Show HN: Firebase, a scalable real-time backend on Friday April 13, 2012 @01:34AM (#3835516)
Awesome dude. Great idea and execution for 3 hrs of work! Minor suggestions:

- Sort by (name, start time, rating, distance)

- include video playback controls, useful info such as time of preview, buffering, etc..

- X out or remove videos from my personal view, this would be KILLER to allow me to narrow down my choices as I watch videos

I hope to someday know what this feels like and not have to learn these lessons the hard way

Jeff mentioned this in the article, but it really forces you to rethink your footer if you put important links there.
