#192contact.ly which will use twillio, dropbox, and other services to build a more modern contact, calendar, file storage system (and for marketing to ride on the hype of other companies).
what makes it more modern?
It took me longer then expected to make (about a month) but now I have a totally customizable contact manger that is more like a database in itself, it is searchable and very flexible (no predefined fields).
On the contact list display where you see few fields from each contact you can define what fields are displayed on that list and each user can change that to there own preference. This way the data is out front and may save users an extra click to go see some piece of contact data they use the most.
I am working on building a billing system for the twillio api, keeping track of all of the sms messages sent, phone calls made, etc. Once I am done with that then I can add to the contact manager functionality, let's say you have a non-profit and you have 500 contacts that are going to be doing your charity "fun run" you can send them out a reminder via a phone call and sms to remember to show up, etc. Once you have your contact in the system, you can make "lists" and so your contacts here would be on the "fun run 2010" list for example. Then next year you can send them an email inviting them to do the 2011 fun run...
I feel this is more modern at least in what I am doing as this can be as big as or small as a person needs. If a company has 100 fields (like the cw tv network does they easily have 100 fields which is who I designed this for) then it will work for that and if a company only has a few fields they can grow out to the number of fields they need but without having that overhead right away.

#196Earlier quoted context omitted.
Curious to know (and for entirely selfish reasons) what classification of work permit is non-transferable?
I had a H1b but just about maxed it out so now I hold a TN1 (I'm Canadian). The upside of the TN is that I can (in theory) get an unlimited number of them and there is no cap on how many can be issued in a year. The downside is that if I step off of US soil I immediately lose it and have to apply for a new one at the border when I attempt to re-enter. Should the INS agent dislike me for any reason (or for no reason),…

#197http://github.com/jdodds/voussoir a node.js app for generating Arch linux livecds. It'll sit behind a pylons app in the near future, most likely. Making a website-as-service for making linux livecds is something I've wanted to do for a while, and the few projects out there that do it do it poorly, imo. I had the start of something like this using Ubuntu a while ago, but frankly there's not much more room on the Ubunt…
