I'm not against startups in general, it's just that I don't want to join a startup working on another "disruptive cloud image sharing service".

amarsahinovic··on How I Make A Living Using GameMaker
I know you can, but as you said, it's not the best way to go. If you need 3D games, there are better tools for that than GameMaker.
amarsahinovic··on How I Make A Living Using GameMaker
It probably is superior (I haven't used it, read a few tutorials just to check it out), I'm just saying that there are people who don't need all the stuff Unity provides and are very satisfied with GameMaker.

I remember using GameMaker years ago, and was very pleased when I made my first "game", and all I did was use couple of basic features. For the things I am interested now (simple 2D games), GameMaker seems like the best choice. When Unity 4.3 goes out, I'll check it out and see how it compares to GameMaker based on my requirements.

amarsahinovic··on How I Make A Living Using GameMaker
I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PeGbMvpz4M while researching GameMaker. It seems to perform very well.

For the interested, this is how the examples were made http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTWeRh81AXc

Also, they seem to have a compiler which should speed things up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPJ4hCfTZEM

amarsahinovic··on How I Make A Living Using GameMaker
I just saw that, seems interesting, I'll be checking it out.
amarsahinovic··on How I Make A Living Using GameMaker
As with everything else in life, it depends. If you want to build 3D games, then by all means, use Unity (or equivalent). But if you want to build 2D games, I think that GameMaker does a good job (I know you can do 2D games with Unity, but still).
amarsahinovic··on How I Make A Living Using GameMaker
GameMaker is focued on 2D games[0], where Maratis is focused on 3D games (from what I can see). It would be better to compare Maratis to Unity3D.

amarsahinovic··on Foundation 4.3: Paving the Road to 5
If anyone is interested, I wrote a python package for Django to integrate Zurb Foundation. I just updated it to the latest version. It's not on PyPI yet, but I will put it there in the next couple of days.

Edit: I just uploaded it to PyPI, it was easier than I thought :)

amarsahinovic··on Firefox Developer Tool Features for Firefox 23
There are two things that annoy me in FF Dev tools for now:

- It uses RGB to show colors instead of hex (I think they are working on this)

- There is no visual indication of margin/padding for the selected element on the page (it is shown in a box inside dev tools)

Shameless plug: I wrote a similar utility for myself called 'Goto Bookmark' which allows you to bookmark a directory so you can jump to it from anywhere when needed.
