How have I not heard about this?! Quick aside, how are you for scaling? If I were to roll this out across our agency and pass it on to my circle, you'd probably see a fairly sizeable jump in usage...

We currently have about 3000 users and process way more than 20000 reports every month. So this shouldn't be a problem, although it depends on the size of your network ;) Let me know how you like it and if you have any suggestions.

Ahh... I read your site as 30k reports total. You might want to fix that, as if it worries me, it'll probably worry others.

A running total would be cool.

Will send feedback next week.

I'm working on an HTML5 video player. The special features that will differentiate it from others are a sharing widget in the video and a gallery that show up when the video ends pushing the user to watch more videos.

Any other ideas?

Send an email to ryandavies@gmail.com and I'd be happy to talk with you.

Any reason this was downvoted? Typically in the 40-60/per hour range depending upon the work, if your objection was to me not posting this.

may be he's not looking for freelancers but just wandering what's your rate.

At work: Trying to make our Google Search Appliance play nicely.

On the side: Email campaign analytics done right. There are already companies in this sector, but I feel I can do better.

For fun: I run http://www.re-cycledair.com (PHP & Wordpress Articles).

Today I'm teaching for a few hours on DOM events (yesterday I taught for 4 hours on JS: The Language) for http://jsmasterclass.com

Finishing the launch & prep for my "build your own product, market and sell it" course - http://unicornfree.com/30x500 (about 65% sold out already, I'd like to see 100% by Monday)

Working with an illustrator to create custom illustrations for my launch concepts, & a duo of marketeers/illustrators to create fun promo materials to help grow my profitable SaaS

Working with my biz partner (husband) and freelancers to create a system, priorities, and workflow so we can all work together on bug fixes & new features to grow that profitable SaaS - http://letsfreckle.com

(Delegating well is INCREDIBLY, INCREDIBLY hard.)

Wrapping up the last bits to get http://charmde.sk dogfood-ready

Sourcing the exact mid-century furnishings & art I want for our apartment - cuz I'm superficial like that

Hacking on a fairly revolutionary (if I do say so myself) decision-making & pm tool, with my husband & a friend

Suffice it to say: TOO. DAMN. MUCH. But that last project is just pure fun, and it's really making everything else less burnout-y.

I'm working on changing the way people approach personal development, from the usual current approach of digesting a huge chunk of information via book/tapes/DVDs/etc to helping people make little tiny changes that add up over time to big changes.

http://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 Ubuntu isos, and it's kinda a pain to make sure you're generating them correctly.

Arch is such a simple distro that it's easy to automate. The node.js app is pretty much just a wrapper over mkarchiso, but if that didn't exist it wouldn't be too hard to write.

Other than that, preparing for an interview at a sweet-looking company in Cleveland tomorrow, and finishing up some stuff at my current place of employment.
