It's been less than 24 hours since the new agreement was released and I'm already tired of the "programs are initially written in the brain" argument.

Haven't tested this, but great idea. I've used a couple of the PDF creation tools and it seems so tedious to build out even a simple table view on a PDF. Good luck with this!

The guys at Robocat (developed Outside for the iPhone) have a similar tool for tracking sales. They developed an internal only iPhone app that you shake to update the total sales of Outside - clever play on Shake your money maker. I'm alway

A couple of weeks ago I launched Pitchforked, which creates a random playlist of tracks from Pitchfork.com's Best New Music section. http://www.pitchforked.com .

Excellent! I've got this added in to my issues for pitchforked. Will be implementing it in the next couple of revisions.

Haha. I'm sure she doesn't remember that now! I'll shoot you an email shortly.

I'll take a look at that! Nothing is packaged yet. Is there an easy way to get this into the deployment process so that my dev site isn't packaged and everything on the production side is? Thanks!

No blog yet. After I get the first round of revisions done on pitchforked I'll get something up that details the process. I've been taking notes throughout the whole thing, just haven't gotten around to it yet! I'll post again once that's r

Thanks. I've gotten some reports about problems with Flashblock/Clicktoflash. I'll hopefully have an update to fix that tonight. Thanks for checking out the site!

Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions, I can't add a skip button in:( Same sort of problem with Pandora. You can only skip a certain amount of tracks in a certain time period, so I've just excluded the option to skip tracks.

You can pause by clicking anywhere on the track name (except the links to the review). I guess that might not be obvious though...

Dan! Strange meeting on HN! Hope all is going well with you. The icons aren't clickable but the text underneath click through to the review page. I'll see about making that entire area clickable to keep people from being confused.

Thanks. I'm not really sure about Pitchfork's security...I know they lock down their mp3s and had some recent trouble (maybe?) with leaking albums? Not 100% sure on that last part. All the mp3 files that I'm using are provided by 8tracks.co

I just "launched" my first Ruby on Rails application last night. It creates a random playlist of songs from Pitchfork.com's best new albums area. Up to now I've primarily worked with PHP. A little backstory: Just a little over a month ago I

Not Roku but I'm going to be porting a webapp to a boxee app soon enough. I'll share once I do!

Seems like the way to keep sharing ratios up on sites like these is to pay for seedbox servers to keep a fast upload line going.

The iPhone wasn't released with an SDK or App store though. While I think it would be unlikely for Apple to launch a tablet / new mobile product that doesn't have an app store, it wouldn't be the first time.

Definitely going to be working through this. Looks like it's hitting the topics I want to hear about as I learn RoR. Thanks!

Just thinking through this problem some, I had a quick thought that would be neat to see: "Carrier Apps". These apps would have lower level access to the iPhone and to allow true background processes (listening for calls, texts, setting a d

Anyone know what software was on this computer that couldn't run in a newer OS? Anytime I hear that I just feel baffled. Couldn't a newer machine at least emulate the older OS?

Great. I know my team would definitely be interested in leveraging this tool if it worked that way. I'm envisioning it looking something like AddThis or SocialTwist. You mouse-over an embedded item that gives you the opportunity to sign up

Any thoughts on adding an API so that sites can use your service to offer email digests of their posts?
