Thanks! I'm going to remove this link for now. Still trying to find something useful to do with that logo.

Thanks for your considerations. I think all of them make real sense and will add them to the development schedule. Recommendations are almost done.

caffo··on Programming while listening to Music?
I recommend the following (mostly instrumental) styles - all of them works really well for me:

* Neoclassical (Arcana, Ophelia's Dream)

* Post-Rock (God Is an Astronaut, Explosions in the Sky, Mono)

* Shoegaze / Dream Pop (Beach House, Cocteau Twins)

* Nu-Jazz (Parov Stelar, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Essamble)

* Dark Ambient (Lustmord, Desiderii Marginis, Sephiroth)

"Especially as it will update to any future version (3.0+) for free."

Free upgrades to any future version? Sure.. Let's just hope she don't decide to switch to another publishing platform and ask the users to buy the app again.

caffo··on Readability
A couple months ago I coded a server side version of the readability bookmarklet. I made it to be able to link to a page and have it converted by the script. http://cold-sunrise-39.heroku.com/

There's also a bookmarklet there so you can easily process urls.

caffo··on Ask HN: Best invoicing app?
I think the question would be if there's any invoicing app that supports moneybrookers, not which one is the best.

Personally I use blinksale for my invoicing needs. Its well done and simple. A more complete (feature-wise) version is in the works, but who knows when they will launch it.

caffo··on IPhone 3.0 Notes Sync? Sure, But Evernote is Still King
Evernote is bloated and the desktop versions are ugly and over complex. After test various note taking apps, Simplenote (http://www.simplenoteapp.com/) is my app of choice: clean ui and web sync. A nice review can be found here:
