Its all right talking about "$xxxxx a day" — but how long will that last? I think its better to create something useful/fun which people won't get bored of within 5 minutes and that can be updated later. Even if its just for your own self r

I'm not a big fonts person, but when I found Bitsteam Vera Sans Mono I knew I loved it: http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/1897/picture68gr5.png It just looks fantastic to me — I simply don't get the attraction to fonts which look like th

You can't build an improvement on another products by copying all their features and then adding some more of your own — that's usually a recipe for becoming as bad as your competitor(s). Firefox, IE, Opera — do they really do things diff

Cool, just found ShoveBox and it looks awesome! Can't afford to buy a licence right now, so I may as well help you test it! :)

Me too — I try to rewrite my own blogging platform/CMS every year or so, wrapping up all the design elements and programming quirks I've learnt over the past year, into a cool little package — fast, simple, and fun to use. :)

Were there any restrictions on what you could register? (i.e. only domains related to your company) I'd have thought people would have registered generic words first...

Its acctully hosted in Ireland (likely Dublin), as confirmed by Amazon. Kind of a shame, its about as west as you can get in Europe! Those in England will get pings of around 100ms, and god knows what those in western europe like Italy, Gre

Ahh yes — if so I hope its Frankfurt! (its a little more centralized than the rest)

Made the switch earlier in the year; though I'm a poor student, so ended up downgrading from a decent Windows machine to a 2006 CoreDuo 1.83Ghz Macbook Pro — but even then, its defiantly been worth it! I'd never switch back to Windows, and

Try to remove your testing pages/comments: http://www.chemsink.com/reaction_type/19/ Not sure how close you are to having real visitors, but test comments are never welcoming!

Yes, it bugs me a lot; they are writing about their experiences of creating successful products, even though they became popular because of Rails, and they have kept themselves in the limelight by writing about why they are successful. Don'

Not quite, on Digg the title would be: WTF - WORST Google ad EVAR!! [PIC] …and you'd have hundreds of comments trying to be witty to get the most diggs, a few mimes, and absolutely no intellect. And it would have been on the front

Ah yes, sorry — the "1500 students" part slipped my mind when writing my message! Really unsure to be honest…its an extremely tricky situation!

So overall:- - You can't base your choices on the results - You can't base your choices on the teachers opinions. …the only decent way I see is going and spending a term with the kids yourself, for an unbiased view. Not sure if

1. Too much meta-data at the top of the live blogs. 2. The listing is kind of boring, and the 4 digit time is confusing at first, I would prefer "8:32pm". 3. blabify@gmail.com? Use your own domain, looks better. 4. "Create Live Blog" wants

I don't think its meant to be... Somehow some guy thought creating this site was worth the price of the domain, the hosting, and his time...but there are easily worse sites with even stupider functionality out there.

I think you've got it spot on — ads for free members; and no ads, the option to customize things, use extra features, and some extra virtual cash every month for the "Pro" members. Plus you could sell exta virtual currency, with Pro members

Wish I could vote, I've suffered though the campaigns just as much as any American, and lets face it — what ever the US does, the rest of the world follows. But if I could...it'd be for Obama.

Maybe, but it could turn into a nightmare with search engines, I don't think they'd risk that. Hope they get the domain back, people like the guy who hijacked it makes me sick.
