I just finished this weekend hack I really like. https://github.com/garrettdreyfus/Libstripper It's a handy (i think) command line tool to extract the code you actually use from css libraries like bootstrap. Not much compared to other comments here!

Thank you for this. By the way, I found this topic to be a difficult one to google for. Is there a magic search string or term of art that I'm missing?

Cool map. Edmontonians don't generally like their city referred to as "Deadmonton". However, the nickname rings true on so many levels. Good luck with your move. Is it soon?

Thanks. Hmm the crime in your city is not that out of whack compared to the Canadian average. It actually made me feel safer about the city and will make house hunting easier. The move shall be in about 10 months time. Am in the process of reviewing the different startups in the city currently. Are you involved in one?

I'm glad you're doing the research before taking the leap. There are lots of safe neighbourhoods and only a few I would avoid. Let me know if you have any questions about city.

Unfortunately, I'm not involved with any startups at the moment but would love to get involved with the right one (take a leap of my own). I moved back to this city about a year ago after being overseas for six years. I rushed the move due to family reasons and didn't properly set myself up in that regards. I have the right personality, but I'm not confident in my skills. I need to find a company where I can learn as well as contribute and flourish that way.

I hope you find something that suits you. Are you thinking of joining an existing startup or doing something on your own?

Open-source visualization of our solar neighborhood: http://uncharted.bpodgursky.com/ (source https://github.com/bpodgursky/uncharted )

This is really nice. I would love to have the option of displaying a galactic coordinate grid and other bearings, and perhaps labels on some notable stars.

Great work.

Is there a way to contact you? Your profile does not say.

If you mean something to strip css libraries, I wasn't able to find something equivalent on google. I also wasn't sure what to google for though.

A mobile web app (https://treycent.com) that lets you create voice-enabled question answering sites by tagging internet or intranet content with spoken questions. After a while you end up with a private Siri: a site capable of answering questions relevant to your team. Also working on a companion Google Glass app.
