This sounds very interesting. Can give more details on "whisper to transcribe and make sense of long ramblings, turning a 20 minute voice memo from a car ride into a functional plan"? The apps that you use, and the workflow.

Been to the Starbucks on Lawrence and El Camino. Bit too crowded for my liking. I somehow could never get work done in a library. Bit too quiet. :)

Thanks! Will try them out. My day job is in Milpitas and I live close by.
Ask HN: Hacker friendly coffee shops in San Jose
I recently moved to San Jose and really miss the coffee shops I used to frequent before. Any suggestions for good coffee shops to sit and work? Preferably something open late.

Re:Ask HN: Posterous vs A Blog
on Wednesday November 03, 2010 @07:38PM (#1866953)
Here what I feel. Posterous v WP blog ( hosted on a custom domain and not *.wordpress.com)
Posterous : Pros 1. Very easy to set up. 2. Easy to put up photo albums (no need for plugins etc) 3. No need for upgrading etc. Posterous does that for you.
Cons: 1. Limited customization (themes, widgets etc) 2. Cannot put up ads

A good target audience would be the students (esp seniors) - sending a thank you note after an interview.

Re:Facebook Upgrades Photos: Look Out, Flickr
on Thursday September 30, 2010 @07:38PM (#1745314)
I think both cater to a different set of people/photos. I upload only those photos to Facebook which have a 'social' element - Birthdays, weekend trips with friends etc. But Flickr is more for photos which I click as a hobby and as a photo backup service.
Re:Ask HN: Is it hard/bad to apply for jobs in cities you don't live in?
on Thursday September 23, 2010 @09:34PM (#1722245)
I disagree. I moved here from Indiana for a job. The company flew me over here for the interview and also paid for relocation when I moved here. Same situation for all my friends. We are new college grads, so the situation might be different.

Donate to a couple of Android devs. Cyanogen and probably the dev of LauncherPro.
Re:Ask HN: Three startups, but only one of me. Which one should I choose?

I would say second one because you get to apply the knowledge you have in a meaningful way.Having a mentor would be the added advantage.

1.Installing wordpress on your domain is free. Use this - http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress It is very easy to set up.

Re:Ask HN: How do I move into software from hardware engineering

That was an awesome answer. Thanks. I did C as part of course and the rest because of interest.
VLSI is mainly software driven. I have worked with Hardware descriptive languages like Verilog.
As per the suggestions above, I have decided to take up an open source project and hone my software skills and then try for a job change.

Ya. That would probably be the best bet. Can you suggest which would be better-Ruby or Python? I have some experience with Perl.

Thanks! The link looks interesting. Will have a look. Now just have to find some time for programming.
Ask HN: How do I move into software from hardware engineering
I recently completed my masters degree in VLSI from a top 15 school in the US. But in the last two years, I have become very interested in software. However, because of the course structure and time constraints, I never got time to learn any programming language. I can program in C and know basic HTML and CSS. I really want to move into software but since I have no projects/experience in...
