Most of my side projects have been about automating the little things that end up taking me a lot of time. At my first job, part of my work (next to junior dev) was to deploy EARs on Websphere. I automated it so that people just had to drop

My VW's onboard GPS (same group as Audi) actually says "you have reached your destination" when passing in front of the destination. But I suppose it will probably start scanning the road for parking spots like in the auto pa

Had the exact same issue so I've recently started working on http://blockedby.com to check regularly if my content didn't get blocked. It's still very early but any feedback is welcome

I've had an issue with Airbnb this summer. I contacted them within the first 24 hours (as it's the rule to get a refund) and contacted the host exclusively through Airbnb so there would be a trace. They told me that I should have

International fee must be the same as national ones in SEPA. This means that if your bank charges 0€ for national transfers, it cannot charge for SEPA ones (the ones with IBAN). But it could in theory charge for national and SEPA wires. ht

My price comparison tool Shoptimate.com got hit a few months back. It's not Amazon only so I can keep the lights on but it sucks for Pricenoia. Amazon has been changing the rules lately. They're not allowing installable software a

I use an Acer C720P as a backup dev machine for a Django project. With crouton you have access to traditional Unix tools so if most of what you need is command-line tools and a text editor, you can manage. It's not amazingly fast and t

Nicely done. If you're not in the US, you can give a try to our extension Shoptimate [0]. It does not compare in your cart but at the product page. [0] http://www.shoptimate.com

From the numbers of my extension, Chrome users are more keen to install extensions. I believe that it's mainly because the Chrome Webstore makes it easier to find extension than Mozilla's.

I'm building Shoptimate.com [1] and I'm in Europe. Amazon isn't as huge as in the US (and the multiple local Amazon sort of compete with each other). But I also gave up on the website to build a browser extension. Shoptimate

Well done. I'm building something slightly similar : http://www.shoptimate.com But it's browser extension, not a website and it's not limited to books or Amazon. Note that shipping from a foreign country can lead to custom taxes.

Don't forget that your cost of living (rent, food, ...) is probably lower in the Netherlands than in SF. And you get all the social benefit from a European country (cheaper healthcare, cheaper education, ...). It's hard to compare US and Eu
