I honestly wish it were that simple (coming from a person who abandoned twitter in favor of identi.ca).

Unfortunately without the commercial interests to drive the product forward, it just generally doesn't work out.

That being said, I really hope Diaspora takes off.

She completely understood that she was commenting publicly. She stated quite clearly that she has never posted a public comment on Google+, because she knew the implications.

There are some nontrivial UI concerns in trying to merge non-public commenters with public posts, I'll grant you that. However, it still doesn't change the fact that the tool doesn't match up to the needs of a pretty broad demographic (no pun intended).

Can't use a pseudonym on Google+, hence this not being posted on Google+

I lol'd. Well put my friend.

Yeah it's called moderation tools. Have you met internet?

I'd argue that the two are pretty intrinsically linked. A dude can have whatever job he wants, from no-account bus-boy, to middle-management, to executive; and then publicly post whatever he feels like in the mean-time. Hell it's even encouraged to a degree. Gives you "character".

The female equivalent of that is "uppity" or "headstrong"

The second paragraph nails it pretty well. I think the more powerful features of G+ will eventually even that out, e.g. Hangouts being one of the best options around for conference video chat, automatic photo uploading, etc.

Bad UI/UX I'll go along with, but I'm not sure where the ignorance comes in. She pretty perfectly stated the way privacy settings work in G+ and why they're a problem.

Totally different order of magnitude. Sorry dude.

Shoot an email to support@cueup.com and we'll look into it.

What he said.

Furthermore it's worth pointing out when trying to execute a coordinated media push (especially with traditional media), you have no choice but to give a lead time and put an embargo in place. This is standard practice when dealing with publications.

9 times out of 10 it goes off without a hitch. We were the 10%, so to speak.

iCal support is coming soon. Stay tuned!

I'm the mobile engineer at Cue.

Some very interesting issues with iOS 6. Apple went and implemented a method in NSMutableArray with the same signature as one of my category methods. Hilarity ensued, but also a broken home screen.

I'm actually really thrilled that the try-catch was able to help the app recover correctly.

That's the couch we got when I moved out here to work at Greplin. Brilliant design.

I worked at a small video game startup (at our peak we were around 10 full-timers).

Both our Design and Art directors worked remotely from other states. It was NOT a productive situation.

It did, however, teach me that design is something that happens organically, and in collaboration over lunch, beers, etc. It can't be handed down from somebody hundreds of miles away to implement.

The same for art direction to a large degree.

I believe it may not help our cause to tell people we just sent their porn log to their wife...

Yes.

I have to use XCode for iOS development, but hate may not be strong enough a word for what I feel toward it.

Autocomplete works correctly MAYBE 50% of the time. It works 0% of the time on brand new files. Takes maybe an hour or two to get up to that vaunted 50% success rate.

I'd imagine it may have something to do with XCode's horrendous parsing of preprocessor macros.

Also It either crashes or balloons up above 4GB of ram usage at least once or twice a day.

Can't wait for Jetbrains to get their stuff to stable.

It should be noted that the challenge is for design, not for actual search algorithm implementation or anything technical.

I very much look forward to that. There a mailing list or something so I can know the moment it goes live? :-D

This has absolutely made my weekend. It's like an all-you-can-eat buffet where you never get full.

Like like like.

I'm anxiously awaiting the existence of a better solution, unfortunately I had to make do with the best option currently available.

Yep, it's not a perfect solution. Hopefully somebody makes something a little better suited to this in the future :-)

Should've made a note-- I upgraded to a paid account shortly after posting this. You're absolutely right.

I fully recognize that Git/hub is not ideal for this use case, and actually considered trying to build a service around exactly this, but decided it would be too much of an undertaking as a side project, and I'd rather just get the music out there instead.

Also the main reason I used github is the ease of forking, and strong community behind it.

Noted, I'll try to get the project files up there.

A fair criticism, so I went ahead and bought a micro account-- i think I was pushing the soft limit anyway.

Six that I can recall, all with Spark Plug Games (This doesn't count lite versions)--

1. iSlap

2. DQ Craze

3. Witch's Workshop

4. Aya Go

5. Lost in Time: The Clockwork Tower

6. Puzzle Quest 2

I was in this program at IU, and later worked with Jonathan at Cisco-- and I actually remember this exact story being told by one of my AI's in class.

Guess it's become part of IU lore :-)
