Moving to Hong Kong? How long are you there for Leo? Planning on going back to Silicon Valley? If it is all so virtual, come enjoy some Cape Town lifestyle.

Facebook has suggested twice accurately places I've visited, but I pretty much specified it in the album (Singapre and Australia). There is an album now with random photos, with the location "Plekke" (which is afrikaans for "places"). They

Is this yours? There is no reason to have 10 on a page. Do it like "Steak House or Gay Bar". http://steakhouseorgaybar.com/

Watched it yesterday. Incredibly strange and unreal to think such a fabricated society is possible in these times.

I always thought most mobile operators offered a "please call me" service? In South Africa, you can send a 'message' using USSD (ie *140#<number>) to let someone know that they should call you. You have a limit of 100 a day or somet

1) Great design, especially with the latest iteration. 2) Friend limit. This changes the game quite a bit. You have to be conscious about choosing whom to add, which will most likely lead to adding people you only wish to share with. 3) Tak

When you are in South Africa again, drop by Stellenbosch (40km from Cape Town)! Would love to hear some more stories. EDIT: I also travelled from Singapore to Bangkok (not all the way to Hanoi) this year. Great trip. Took the train. Beautif

This is fantastic. I'm tempted to also do this, just so I keep my creative juices flowing, and my eyes open to new opportunities!

I would like to see time to conversion. I have a hunch the majority of the users haven't capped out their dropboxes yet. When that starts to happen, it will be interesting what the conversion rate will be.

I use a normal 15inch laptop and that wasted white space was an issue for me. Hopefully with the new theme, the 'compact' theme is compact enough.

Awesome. Been working with a lot of APIs, and I also looked for a way to print it out better in terminal. I found an alternative. If you have python, you can pipe it to -mjson.tool and it will pretty print it in the terminal. http://stacko

This is fantastic. It is still a work-around, which won't fit well with the UX, but it's a novel take! Really looking forward to some interesting webhooks.

Is it so bad? You can still choose to not have your number on Facebook? Or am I missing something.

I think either way is okay. It depends on how you want to structure it. Most web APIs aren't entirely RESTful anyway. It is also important to note that a lot of hosting providers don't support other verbs than GET or POST (ie Low-REST) [1].

Jokes aside, I really like the 'brogramming' ethos. I feel it really embodies 'balance' in life. As the slogan puts it: "Rage at the codebase, rage at the gym, rage at the club". Programming is very much a logical and intellectual endeavour

On that note: I've been wanting to sell my website www.twimemachine.com for a while now. If anyone is interested: message me.
