I like this. I'd definitely use it. Could do with a little sex-ing up, but the functionality is very useful.

You could use something like a Linode virtual server as your dev env. I know a few people do that. Of course if you're doing web development you may have to deal with your dev server possibly being publicly facing.

Personally I mostly do Node.js and Python development, and I just set up an Ubuntu Server VM in VirtualBox and share a folder from the host OS. That way I can use the VM to run the code, but use editors etc on the host OS. I can set-up a VM in about 15 mins so it isn't even worth backing them up or transferring them between machines.

Downvoted for this :-0

This is clearly a way to extort money from UK businesses. You can't choose not to register the .co.uk, so now you'll have to register the .co.uk AND the .uk.

Then there's the mess and confusion of deciding who gets the .uk when there's a dispute.

And the fun and game when johnny user gets redirected to the dodgy knock-off version or a porn site placeholder instead of my-nice-widget-company because they got confused between the .co.uk and the .uk version of the name. Good job I didn't register my-nice-widget-co.co.uk too.

Clearly Nominet was drunk... resolve my downvotes!

Go home Nominet, you're drunk.

Think they missed one... Talkative Ted: Talks and talks and talks, but never actually says anything. Can't / won't listen to what anyone says. Is the complete centre of every meeting, but always misunderstands everything he is told because he's too busy trying to come up with a witty reposte to actually listen. Commonly known in British English as 'a gobshite'

Why does it make me think of the triangle table from The Office?

Aren't smart-phones already powerful enough to play lossless audio? It isn't popular because there's no market for it. Jeff Public prefers the convenience of lossy formats.

Also, Neil Young is looking increasingly like Mickey Rourke in the Wrestler.

I want to punch Don!

Seriously though, why would I use Fliqq instead of Facebook?

No

Meanwhile back on earth...

Of course you can.

Just like the developers would ditch Twitter for the next big thing if it ever pulled a MySpace.

There was a mutually beneficial relationship that is no longer (as) beneficial to one of the parties.

Personally I think the community might be spending too much time on Python 3.

Python 2 is fine, and the upgrade will offer few significant advantages for most people.

I think the effort would be better spent working on things like frameworks and tools for web development.

Grow up. Twitter doesn't owe you anything.

Web design is not 95% typography...

But you would have something to show for it. You'd have gained the experience of actually doing it. And you'd be showing good decision making skills ;-)

I'm a web developer and I'd go for text-based articles/tutorials every time. I hate video tutorials. They are always much slower to use and cumbersome if you are only interested in a particular part.

Windows is the most popular desktop OS. People can make money by writing apps for it, non?

Where's the about page?

I like the minimalist look of it, but it's useless for me until they add categories or tags.
