iambot··on Mark Zuckerberg's profile on Google+
agreed, totally and utterly. human readable urls are such a "tend" accepted wisdom, that i find it hard to believe it wouldn't be implemented
iambot··on Yes, I know how to write programs. How do I *run* them?
apart from node.js being for writing javascript servers, would it not do exactly what you're looking for, essentially just a more useful version of the v8 engine with npm for adding useful packages to simplify coding. `$ node yourfile.js`
iambot··on Clever Foursquare Hack Turns New York City Into a Giant Game of Risk
provisional +1 for when you release the source on gitHub, looks like a brilliant idea though
iambot··on I don't understand why anyone would use Node.js
and using it in conjunction with coffeescript only increases the pleasure of working with it. I can only but dream of the day that coffeescript needn't be compiled into JavaScript first.
iambot··on I don't understand why anyone would use Node.js
though not a great justification, and I'm hoping hackers far better than myself can defend nodejs (if only for my entertainment/interest). But using node is actually VERY fun, I cant quantify it but I find it a lot more enjoyable than any of the other server side languages I know.
iambot··on Poll: Have you been Google black-barred yet?
sorry i should have qualified that with a "for me"
iambot··on Poll: Have you been Google black-barred yet?
yes, but only on .co.uk domains, not on .com

iambot··on RPG JS: Javascript RPG (as in dragons) framework
a README on the repro would be nice... #justsaying
iambot··on Testing Benford's Law
great site, awesome design, i love benfords law, first heard about it on WNYC's RadioLab (best podcast in the world ever, im not even kidding).
iambot··on Open source needs designers
i think we're on the same page. i can imagine that "GitHub for Mac" etc, might end up helping those designers that feel git is an unfathomable entity...
iambot··on Open source needs designers
implying i said they wouldn't be valuable... I am a designer and git is not coding, its merely about learning a tool that helps with collaboration, git/github being one of many. :)
iambot··on Open source needs designers
the nice thing about fireworks is that the fileformat is a viewable PNG when opened by someone without fireworks, so process files are visible by everyone involved.

i reckon we'll get to a point where early in a repo's life there'll be a concepts/design folder with process files - would also make sense to plan the architecture in the same fashion...hmmm the possiblilities

so that the dev planning the models/views can collaborate with a front-end designer as to the architecture of a site, but all within github etc etc etc. i can but hope.

iambot··on Open source needs designers
i agree, as a designer/front-end dev, that uses github, git versioning works on css (~ my tone doesnt translate to text) etc, so yeah there is a breakdown when asking designers to use git, but to be honest i manage fine, so i dont see why others cant do the same :)
iambot··on Open source needs designers
i agree, I’m a designer and have been offering to fork open source projects here and there for a bit, but i think its a thing that the community has to adopt. its getting there though. developers also need to come to terms with the fact that just as a project needs great coding (by a dev) many projects need great design (by a designer)
iambot··on Review of e-Conomic a popular Accounting App for Small Businesses
the reviewer obviosuly doesnt know the market then as i would say not only is FreeAgent a competitor, but it wins hands down: http://www.freeagentcentral.com/
iambot··on [dead]
np, thought i'd offer all the same. if you ever change your mind give me a shout @christopherdb
iambot··on [dead]
if you'd stick it on github, i dont mind giving it a good design forking
iambot··on [dead]
i like the favicon, though the site (all be it a 1day project) could do with at least some styling, _cough_ no center align
iambot··on Porting Node to Windows With Microsoft’s Help
pretty much, compared to an integrated terminal like *nix, im a big fan of things "just working"
iambot··on Porting Node to Windows With Microsoft’s Help
thats great, funnily enough loving working with node, is one of the things that pushed me over the edge and made me buy a mackbook pro, sick of having to deal with cygwin on windows. but this is good news, albeit too late for me.
iambot··on Paperjs: scriptographer ported to javascript
a README on the repo would be nice... #justsaying
iambot··on Show HN: GitStatus (can't compete with GitHub for Mac, but eh...)

iambot··on Anatomy of a Computer Virus
nice video, about the stuxnet virus. very well done motion graphics, a good job all round.
iambot··on Spendology: My Weekend Project
hahaha yeah right. "pay me $30 before you test my project" "and whatever you do don't use your favorite/main browser"

hahaha... no thanks

iambot··on PixelJET - Dreamweaver meets Firebug, in JavaScript
one thing that bugged me, (i use firebug Alot) is that when i used the inspect tool to select an element on the page, it didn't navigate to that part in the DOM view in the bottom panel, and I couldn't edit html int he bottom panel i had to navigate away before editing html

but its looking good so far, good luck

iambot··on What PHP needs (well, what I think it needs)
so whats stopping them putting it on github, if the people working "near" the projects center stick it on github and let a community form/extend/grow around it, i know i'd watch that repo
iambot··on Life of an Implementer: If you're good at it, don't do it for someone else
Touché! ... I would say I sadly fall into this category, but as you I share the same opinion, and am enthusiasticallymoving forward.
iambot··on How to easily delete your online accounts
nice site, i think very useful, but lacking in presentation (not usability) but design-finesse.
iambot··on Pakistan dumps American produced border control software
I can imagine that using American-controlled immigration software, would be how American intelligence personnel secure access into foreign territories. A (IMHO) logical statement, though I haven't even dignified it with a Google search.
