Thank you so much. If you're the same wallflower that ripens the events, just wanted to say thanks for that too.

Awesome. I've met a few people in my own line of work through local Meetups. Can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks a ton.

The splash image inspires confidence. I am interested in privacy at its best so a form for requesting an invite would be nice.

"There are villains in this world. They used to hide beside the road and beat then rob travellers." Nah. They've always been lawyers.

If you missed the slideshow your probably missing half the point. You should inspect the JavaScript, verify it safe and private, and turn on JavaScript. It's naughty, but a lot of people seem to like it.

Ad some left and right padding to your container or body for iPad. Also, it's a lot of text. Look into highlighting your personal tagline in headings, pull quotes or something like that. Your top right language links (are they links?)

This is about the way I see it these days. Pulling 2, 3, up to 5 outside scripts via sharing widgets is just too much. Much snappier to skip and just link out as the example shows.

I thought the problem he was trying to solve was to speed up simple things like text color changes or pushing elements around a few pixels. TDD doesn't try and solve that does it?

Thanks for the correction. I made the edit above. Funny thing is that I had a feeling I was wrong, but general sloppiness convinced me adding a question mark to my statement was better then taking 10 seconds to actually look it up.

I've been using them for a few years now. Free repos got me there. Assembla makes use of it as well, and I've run it through that on a project. I don't do enough open source stuff unfortunately to find myself at Github, but for maintaining

I was wondering that too, but I was thinking that at some point that would take human interation: 1. i reply back and say thank you 2. they register for an account 3. i approve them and then they start spamming Maybe a Mechanical

That's probably it and is in line with good old fashioned comment spam. I'm just not collecting a URL, so I'm not seeing them come through. I might just add one, hide it from my users and see how many of these comments come through accompan

Sounds cool and the mechanics of it seem to be really well thought out. However, the service seems to provide a lot of value-add that will eventually have to be paid for. "Sold" will have to make a pretty compelling argument to the seller t

For me personally, the only reason I know what MtGox is, is that I've heard it enough times in relation to Bitcoins that I've made the connection. I don't know anything about bitcoins and I don't know anything about the root of it's name. "

Looks great. More competition and options are always a good thing. It'll be fun to see how long pure can keep it's thin figure. Frameworks as with people inevitably seem to fatten up with age.

I actually read the post for the plugin that probably prompted this blog post of yours (I saw your comment at the end of it the other day). I agree. It's been stated numerous times from the WordPress devs themselves that trying to hide that

Awesome! I'm working on a couple projects at the moment with a lot of "can you make it pop" feedback. I may have found my solution. The flip and pulse stuff I might try today.

Not the greatest experience on iPad 2. Back on the desktop, it doesn't seem to clear values, only adds them (I'm playing with chaning posts, page, etc..) Here's a good WP Query resource I've been using to structure marginally complex querie

This is the type of thing that totally confuses you? People pay to offload a little work all the time. Do you whittle your own toothpicks? That's just a piece of wood. Do you make your own floss? That's just waxed thread. I thought it was a

I use my real name, but on the internet I don't even consider my real name the real me. Most stuff I've got out on the internet is sort of my marketable persona even though the name does point to me (if that makes any sense). I don't troll

That was my first thought as well. Nope. Not going to go begging for a Google invite this time. I can see throttling your users to help test the product, but it's a Maps app for goodness sake. Maybe something other than "Invite" would be mo
