Nolo Press has a book with some standard boilerplate contracts in them. http://www.nolo.com/products/consultant-and-independent-cont... They are a decent starting point. Sometimes a client will take my boilerplate, or sometimes they wil

Yes, Tele Atlas was acquired by Tom Tom about 5-6 years ago, so it is the same.

sadly, if you live in cape horn you can't play. sidenote: all the "..grr...flash...grr.." comments on here made me chuckle (hint: right-click). it sounds like a good album.

I just skimmed Anki & mnemosyne as well as MemStash. Early constructive criticism: I think all of these tools would benefit from a web-based demo that doesn't require a download & install or a signup / login. As an example, I watch

Nice job, like hypem-lite. My only minor gripe is that the "more obscure" needs to be "more more obscure" for my taste...but, that's probably just me.

I use jsPlumb here http://live.daisyworks.com/editor.html It is a great way to make drag-n-drop widgets that work for pretty much any browser. Simon has done an awesome job with this.

Hi, we are building something similar. We had a Kickstarter a few months back that did not reach our funding goal, but we are still forging ahead. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/daisyworks/internet-your... -- it involves connecting

I've also been developing since RC2 on a decent sized project. SocketStream is the glue that holds it all together (backbone.js, twitter bootstrap, mongo, mongoose, jade, stylus, redis, etc.) It is a joy to develop with -- flexible, simple

GWT had a PagingScrollTable - I used it 3-4 years ago. It has been a while since I built a GWT project, so I'm sure it has improved dramatically, but I was able to get lightning fast tables using PagingScrollTable. Here's a demo http://z

I bought the book. The reason why: there was a clear lack of documentation on Riak at the time (still is). Your book is bar none one of the best sources of material for quickly getting up to speed on Riak. I read it cover to cover severa

Cool - sent you an email. Would be great to collaborate / exchange ideas.

That's cool. Incidentally, I'm building something related (incorporates node, Twilio, and Roving Networks WiFly). We launched a Kickstarter that did not make funding http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/daisyworks/internet-your... but I

I'm building a fairly large app right now with SocketStream and I just want to say that it is a joy to use. It really is a great dev. environment...flexible, useful, lightweight, and intuitive even without a ton of documentation.

Agree -- also one of the most under-rated skills is someone who keeps up to date on all the latest frameworks / libraries, etc. More often than not, you're building something that solves a unique problem and you do that by stitching togeth

Looks like ActionScript, which is already based off ECMAScript...why not just use that, or extend what's already there? Getting adoption for a brand new language is tough, plus there's already a ton of software/libraries/tools written in A

A colleague and I are building this on nights/weekends. This space has suddenly given rise to several outfits with the same grand vision -- whereas one year ago today, none really existed. We feel confident in how our solution compares to

I've been building a SocketStream app for a couple weeks now, and this was my thought too -- plus it has other, important stuff done (e.g. authentication/authorization is working/sync'd up between http and sockets). Meteor has some nice pac

Looks nice. There are a handful of similar frameworks out there (e.g now.js http://nowjs.com/ , socketstream https://github.com/socketstream/socketstream )...the trend seems to be toward heavy use of sockets in webapps. I'm developing wi

I tend to agree. I don't want to discount the nice work that the author put forth, but I grabbed a cheap, well-written ebook here: http://recipeswithbackbone.com/ that has many more of the patterns you mention. It was worth whatever I p

Hi HN, we're unfunded, unpaid, and just getting started. This was the first thing we built, so we're looking to get feedback. Here's the exec. summary: we created an Arduino derivative with a couple unique features: Bluetooth, IrDA, SD Ca
