FYI. Browser: Firefox 10 OS: Ubuntu 10.10 Addons: quite a few so if you can't reproduce, I'll investigate. Javascript error, stops the whole site from working. This error occurred …

Try betabait.com :-)

Played with one of these at FOSDEM, they look fantastic. If you're after something as good looking and touch-orientated as Android, definitely not your thing, but if you're after s…

Yeah, this is the 6th (!) post about it that I've seen today.. (Edit: I have edited this post twice. Initially I put 3 times, then 5, now 6 - WHEN WILL IT STOP?)

Awesome! I've been looking for a to-do application but there's just nothing out there. I mean, sure, there's Wunderlist, Evernote, Todo.ly, ToDo, ToodleDo and RememberTheMilk but n…

If it's written purely in Javascript, how come there's no Android version? More phones nowadays run Android that iOS so you're missing out on a hell of a lot of people's custom, my…

Doesn't work in Firefox 10 for me. No idea why it wouldn't, any ideas?

It has always been this way. For every Google, there's 10,000 GTD/TODO applications ;)

Er?

I used a Mac for about 6 months and loved it, however as soon as I switched back to using Linux (Ubuntu 10.10 at the time) I forgot about it. On Linux, I just get stuff done. It mi…

This is my issue with the new Gnome design: http://i.imgur.com/6CxMW.png It's 50% a joke, 50% serious :-) But, whilst I value simplicity, I can't help but feel that Gnome has gone …

Hi Josh, Could you post an email address as I'm interested but don't use Skype or Twitter. Thanks.

Can definitely get behind those page-speed comments at the end. Was on a shopping website the other day (large, national site too) and was increasingly frustrated by the 5 second p…

Whilst C++ can be as fast, or faster, than C - it's usually not because it's "properly coded". Many of the abstractions that C++ provides are what hit performance and it's usually …

Best approach would be to support a popular distro - best example being Ubuntu. Support Ubuntu, anyone using other distros can - probably - figure things out for themselves (and wo…

How long did it take you to write? Did you approach the publisher or did they approach you?

Have you considered using a cloud platform such as AWS with a load-balancer? Then, if your site is being hammered, you can simply spawn a new instance. Of course, this is quite a h…

I'm working on a web application and on the homepage, like many such applications, I plan to have a brief video explaining how the product works. First, the voice-over: I think thi…

"But when you're trying to crank stuff out, having to stop and tweak/fix your system simply gets in the way." That's exactly the reason to customise it yourself rather than using a…

Note that package signing is turned off by default so not strictly introduced.

Personally I think the fairly low amount of memory is good and works well with their motive - to promote computer science education. If it had more, you could easily chuck massive …

Well that's embarrassing.

I switched to DuckDuckGo about a month back after challenging myself to "switch for a week". I didn't think I'd survive and I still use Google search a bit, however, for the most p…
