Great. I hope they will sell Mac apps too so I can have an alternate distribution channel for my apps.

Well, maybe not irrelevant but way more less relevant than it was. Back then it was something I read regularly. But now it's the place where I go to on lazy days when there's no other action on the internet and I'm too procrastinate-y to co

Old news. I'm pretty paranoid when checking for domains that might be free. I never use my registrars search (only if I'm about to buy in the next 10 seconds). I have been burnt a few times by godaddy in the good ol' days :)

Cool or not cool is not the question. The problem is that FB feels like some shady scam to me. It's all about extracting personal information and make you click on pixel cows.

Heh, I've been rejected for 2 weeks because their caching server fucked up and though I uploaded a fixed version of the binary they kept getting the old faulty one. The reviewer wasn't even capable of telling me the build number of the bina

One thing all those "let's build our app on top of 1000 layers so we can use our $favourite language"-people tend to forget is that mobile software runs on mobile devices. Which have one remarkable property: they are energy constrained. So

Yeah, and the music industry wants us to pay for plastic discs. Things have changed and people who want to force down some old model of social interaction on the internet are dinosaurs who couldn't differentiate a paradigm shift from a pota

Uhm, pretty "ghetto": git init in your ~/vimwiki directory and then it's git push/pull all the way. I guess you could automate that if you really wanted. Another idea would be to put your vimwiki folder into your Dropbox. As vimwiki files a

One of the most annoying things about the app store are the review times. With our app ( http://armadilloapp.com ) we had to wait over 5 weeks to get into the store. 2 weeks till the first review, then there was a rejection where I had cons
