Hi, I'm the developer/founder. Please ask me anything you like about the application. NB: I'm in Melbourne, Australia, so I'll likely be offline in about 5-6 hours!

When I load your homepage, it spams my browser history. Seems like a bug. (Chrome 22/Win32). Awesome application though.

3D printing is exciting, but it's easy to get carried away. Paper printers exist, yet people still purchase books and magazines. By the same token, even if everyone had a 3D printer, they wouldn't necessarily print every object they own ins

Have you watched many of Rich Hickey's talks? There are videos of them around.. I think you would like them.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but you mention the gaming industry; I thought I'd point out the biggest new development there is giving away the games for free and charging for items, aka. F2P (Valve/TF2 is one example. They incr

Yeah I am logged into 3 google accounts. I tried again, and there is nothing in either the console or the network tab after I finish the google login window. It's like it just isn't communicating with the other window.

I think you are right that these things were less common 50 or a 100 years ago, but consider this (first comment on the blog) "It’s not a job that I want, or that I even feel really suited for, and it’s not paying what I need, but after 11

Saying HTML5 won't be 'production ready' for a while, and saying that HTML5 will never be production ready are two very different things, but I feel people conflate the arguments all the time. If you do believe that HTML5 will eventually

It's not bad, but I think it's unfortunate that nobody is working on it. The sooner that HTML5 features are implemented, the better. I thought that posting it here would get some eyeballs on it!

The front page slider timeout neglects to take into account the loading time of the first slide. So the first slide seems to only appear for a second and then the second slide comes in. I never really thought about that before, but if we ma

Title could be better, but I found it an OK-read. The leap from film work to software work isn't a huge one (today's startup guy is yesterday's starving artist) This passage in particular is where it begins to get more general " The whole “

Why do people hate on PhoneGap so much? Specifically, I mean when people complain that the UI of the apps produced with PhoneGap don't "feel" right. PhoneGap sacrifices the quality of the UI for benefits in other areas (a boost to developme

Bespin merged with "Ace" - the new project is at http://ace.ajax.org/ or https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace . As an aside, I was sad to see Bespin go. It used canvas for rendering, while Ace uses the DOM. While the Ace team had good reasons

Not true. 'Regular' people probably didn't think anything about this before the lawsuit. Now they think something. Cars and computers all look pretty similar, but people manage to distinguish them. The only difference between cars, comput

The Statwing homepage looks really nice. I think they did a good job of something quite hard: making a data analysis tool look interesting!

FWIW it's around $130 AUD to lodge in New Zealand. Most Australian companies you do business with will treat you the same, plus: no software patents :) Of course if you have complicated tax / revenue issues it's probably not worth the hassl

It's a shame Google Chrome still doesn't render CSS3 fonts correctly on Windows. The strangest thing about it is that they barely even seem to acknowledge that it's an issue. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8950164/horrible-renderin...

A good article. Dropbox's onboarding is very good, but one thing I wonder is: has it always been that good? For example, what was the onboarding process like when Dropbox very first launched - was it terrible, average, or pretty much like t

I do that too. As for the OP, I think when he says "unproductive" that he is talking about tasks which appear to be important work tasks, but which actually aren't. Some examples (mine, not his): spending a few hours watching Google IO vi

Is there really a decline in big ideas, or only an increase in small ones? The argument doesn't really seem to be based on any actual data. To be honest, I really don't get this issue that journalists and other non-business people have with
