that's the one :) we were finalists in TechCrunch's Europas this year, currently all going to plan...

I used Swype for a while half a year ago, but I found SwiftKey to be far quicker at issuing updates, where Swype had some pretty huge usability fails that remained unfixed for ages. It's an amazing keyboard, but SwiftKey won the race for me.

Two of these factors have been particularly relevant to my situation: lifestyle, and passion. I'm still young enough (28 in London, no major life commitments) to take risks where the pay-offs include loving my job, loving going to work everyday, and finding further personal career development possible and exciting.

If this is the worst case scenario and the company fails, I'll have zero regrets.

I felt like that until perhaps 5 listens of Feed The Animals, after which it became a solid favourite.

I originally found Twitter to be useful at conferences and evening tech talks etc. I then started to follow people who I saw also regularly tweeting at these events. As a result, a lot of the people who I follow, I have now also met in Real Life. Essentially, it kinda works as an aid to networking, as well as sharing tech news.

I have occasionally modified a sproc, only to find that a conflicting check-in has also modified that same sproc. One of our modifications has been overwritten by the other.

I do concede it is rare, but it happened, and we only discovered the bug too late.

Like it!

However it didn't find me anything for Weezer, surprised.

When typing, it felt really laggy, lots of JavaScript going on?

When I hit Donate, it opened in the current window, killing my music! Needless to say I then hit back again to get back to the music, and didn't end up donating... ;-)

Consider adding Gigs along with Amazon and iTunes? DISCLAIMER: my day job is with GigJunkie.net, we could link your users to gig tickets and share the affiliate. If you're interested, send me an email, tim.iles@gigjunkie.net.

Good work, nice project!

This is a quote from Pulp Fiction.

Last week I was refused a cab from the south side of Blackfriars Bridge to Leicester Square, because the driver said it was "too busy" in central London right now. (Fortunately the cab behind him accepted us, and it didn't seem "too busy" at all.) Didn't know this rule applied, thanks!

Feed the Animals was on repeat for nearly a week when I put in over 80 hours, knew it second by second before too long.

Hotmail, even after its recent Gmaily redesign.

I find all the View options distract my eye from the Actions that I am more often looking for, and I still find it clunky and too time consuming to use easily. I'm only still on there for old contacts who don't have my gmail address.

Have just downloaded this - will definitely give it a try. I can imagine using this to run one-off scripts, in the way I currently use LINQPad on my laptop.

Good work!

In the summer I made a Chrome extension to block status updates about the World Cup from my notifications stream, and replace them with a philosophical quote from twitter, or a picture from Flickr's API. It worked, and was fun.

I should resurrect that project, and blog about my experience creating it.
