   Im getting the feeling DotCloud wants to sit between somewhere in between Heroku and AWS. A little comparison table of cost & features would be interesting to se.

   Thats what I do (tower for the GUI). The mercurial plugin on the other hand is great.

   Yes, they will probably be the information controller under the DPA and have to be extreamlly careful that our data is safe. Even keeping a copy in a non EU country is very hard.

   The themes you can get for eclipse now were an actual factor in my decision to not move to InteliJ

   To be honest, if compass doesn't have it I just dont care at the moment.

   I hope your right, but on most small releases 'tinkering' needs to be done to make it work. We will have to wait and see.

   I think there is a nice trend online for services charged at a round rate, these aren't impulse purchases. But please post any results if you do an experiment!

    Only non server based thing I pay for for is evernote, currently in second year but have fallen out of love with it slightly so will probably be my last.

    Building an app in Node.js, so will be learning that along with MongoDB. Have another project to start and need to decide if I use as a tool to learn Python by using django or if learning 2 new languages/frameworks at a time is a silly idea

    I guess a SASS version could also work?

    This is true, I live in Sheffield so attending means at minimum 1 valuable day lost in crunch time at uni so not sure if it is worth the risk....... booking train ticket tonight then.

    your right and I have seen my percentage time on vim get higher an higher over the months, but thats from persistance. Its slow progress because I mainly work in eclipse and the vim plugins aren't 100% great for me. Vim is just hard work ge

    This could be very good, I am still trying to find my perfect editor Vim's learning curve & interface means occasionally I just open up sublimeText2/TextMate. Great to see split views are there from the start.

    Interesting, Would be great if there were some sort of tag/taglike system for the properties/usages.

    What is it built in?

    thanks, it will be interesting to see what the prices are and if its worth it (probably). The lack of control can be a bit scary.

    Out of ignorance & interest, if I'm familiar with the technologies I want is DotCloud worth it compared to say AWS etc? Im guessing the main bonus for me would be having someone else worry about securing the server.

    perhaps a nice cheat sheet may be up your street? I found looking at a blueprint one a nice way to get an overview of what is available.

    This is the sort of service which should have a back up, its not reddit. If it can go wrong it will go wrong.

    With the permanent stream of Node related stuff I have to ask is this what hacker news was like a few years ago with Rails? (I am aware node and rails are not direct substitutes)

    Well I really enjoyed what I see so far. Partially just from the great links you recommended! If you do have a CRUD style app I always like being able to download the finished version for when I am stuck (which is often), nothing quite like

    I agree, it also doesn't seam to 'learn' in the way quicksilver did. I don't think I've every come across launch bar but I agree on the price.

    I think its fair to say quicksilver is more powerful, you can really do almost anything in it. I however didn't use many of the power features (resizing images or composing e-mails). Alfred is really just a launcher with a few nice bonus fe

    I have found Alfred a very polished alternative and a little more robust than quicksilver has been over the past couple of years.
