Early Lindows employee here, great bit of nostalgia in that post.

On the other side of the dot-com bust there were a lot of hard things that the team achieved even if the adoption never hit.

For example, a $199 PC sold at Walmart was notable for the time. It offered a working desktop with a full productivity suite from first boot. Without opening terminal, updating a repo, dealing with sound card or video card driver issues, etc.

Re:Ask HN: Best books or videos to get better at sales? on Thursday September 17, 2015 @03:34PM (#10235552)
Big fan of the http://www.salescoach.com/ methodology. I’ve done their in-person trainings and online materials.

After reading lots of sales books this is the technique that works best for me. Companies should do themselves a favor and pay for their teams to level up with better sales skills.

Reminds me of Vix

Someone needs to get this type of NLE done right. I like the simplicity of Shred although it needs some stability improvement - it crashes when I change clip length in the detail editor.

More than happy to help test future versions.

Re:Google Calendar to end SMS notification on June 27th on Friday May 29, 2015 @01:05PM (#9625796)
Nooooo! The SMS notifications are a pro-hack, lifesaver, and overlooked feature.

I get entirely too many push notifications on my lock screen, and don't check my calendar app habitually. SMS notifications get read every time. (60% of the time, it works every time.)

Sounds like a weekend project to roll a Twilio solution. The cost is well worth it for me.
