Are you saying Notch waited for this big news story to break so that he could quietly announce a gender change without anyone paying too much attention? He should become a politician.

You say it like releasing a paid-for product is a bad thing? I'm currently working on a project and would've happily paid for this if I'd seen it at the time and it met my requirements. Currently I'm using CKEditor and h

Nicely done, website is nice and it's great that you can just click and get started straight away. In your comment you said you moved away from mySQL, what exactly do you store in the DB? Which leads to the question: how do you transfe

Lovely-looking webpage, a great story and fantastic pictures - a real contrast to the text-heavy SEOd wordy articles I often read and because: "a picture is worth a thousand words". Never heard of Watsi before but will definitely

Cool game, well made, but it's driving me nuts. I'm stuck on 3/40 - I've created the enclosing circle for "in origin circle" but game doesn't want to acknowledge it. Clearly I'm doing something wrong.

This produces really nice colour sets, I'll definitely be using this to generate some backgrounds for blog posts. Nice work and thanks for sharing.

I can't figure how to close the quote after the '99 ? I realise that specifying ' on URL gets encoded to %27 but not sure how to turn that into the closing ' for startTime('99'); ..... Help!

Just tried to change my password and got: "White spaces are not allowed in password." Is there a valid reason to disallow spaces in passwords? I can't think of one.

Heh, I just knew I would put a typo on the landing page somewhere - I checked and double-checked it... But, yeah, it was written using Earnest and the first draft of it looked much worse.

OK, thanks, I'll have a look at Earnest on smaller screens at some point over the weekend and sort the sizing out.

The "no delete" feature is super-weird to begin with and takes a lot of getting used to. If your workflow is to edit-in-place all the time then Earnest is probably not for you. Thanks for checking it out.

That's a good idea, that could definitely work. I created Earnest as a standalone page for myself mainly so that I could do away with almost all controls and clutter on the page and just have the textarea - keeping distractions to a mi

Hey Dan, OP here. Thanks for the kind words, glad you liked it. Are you viewing Earnest on a table or phone? Think I need to tidy my CSS up a bit for smaller screens.

Hey, OP here. Glad you liked Earnest, I wrote it for myself a while back and have been using it for almost all my writing, does make a hell of a difference for me - seeing as I found it so useful I decided to tidy it up and release it.

How does the Reg Park 5x5 compare with Stronglifts? I've been doing SL for a while but I possibly need to move on as I can no longer sustain 5x5 squats tree times a week - it totally wipes me out (I'm squatting about 1.2 x BW and

I've been doing Stronglifts for about a year and I can say that my own experience backs up the "lift heavy weights and do compound exercises using free weights" that the original article suggests. I'd messed around with

Agreed and it's often really hard to get someone to criticise and tell you what could be improved - everyone just dishes out the usual "yeah, looks nice".

Totally agree with you but I'm sure you'd agree that watching porn is not something that a 11-year-old should be doing? She is more or less free to browse what she wants, she reads Wikipedia articles, reads the news etc etc but I

I totally get all the snarky comments and dislike for the porn filter but as a father of a 11-year-old girl who surfs the web I am 100% behind the idea of regulating material that is not suitable for kids. The current filter may or may not

That's a great return, good work! Are the profits mostly from affiliate click throughs to ThemeForest and the like?
