amccloud··on Bootbox.js - alert, confirm and flexible dialogs for Twitter's bootstrap
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/#javascript
amccloud··on Want Me To Read Your Blog? Do This
Either he fixed it or your monitors contrast is horrible.
amccloud··on Gabriel Weinberg's Angel Investing Requirements
I think he means iPhone "apps".

Though WakeMate is an iPhone app and a physical product.

amccloud··on Bootstrap Xtra extends Bootstrap
I think this should more like bootstrap-btns something I can include along side the original bootstrap.
amccloud··on Awesome Up-And-Coming Website
I heard http://127.0.0.1 is gonna be pretty awesome too.
amccloud··on Ask HN: Which websites' visual design have inspired you lately?
http://stripe.com/
amccloud··on I'am a startup looking for a billing platform?
https://stripe.com/
amccloud··on Rent a Mac in the cloud for development
Licensing I think. IIRC, Previous versions of os x did not allow virtualization. Lion does not have this restriction.
amccloud··on Yipit Django Blog: Sharing Everything We’re Learning
There is no comparison to South. South is used for migrating table schema, not backing up.
amccloud··on MotionCAPTCHA
$('#mc-form').attr('action', $('#mc-action').val()); $('#mc-form').submit();

Submits the form on the demo bypassing the "captcha".

amccloud··on PNG Masking: How to Dynamically Shape Any Image on Your Website
I'm pretty sure @ckj did that. I've sent him a link to your question. He also used the same technique for our 404 page on Pixelcloud. http://pixelcloud.com/404/
amccloud··on There is only one Cloud Icon in the Entire Universe
We've managed to change it up a bit. http://pixelcloud.com/
amccloud··on A rewrite of the Django tutorial with Test Driven Development
What doesn't look pythonic to you? Looks like he uses unittest for testing python and Selenium (java jar, certainly not required) for testing the frontend (html/js/rendering) in browser.
amccloud··on Lesson: Oracle's driving MySQL to open core; don't sign contributor agreement
My code does not depend on mysql. If could reliably migrate the data from mysql to postgresql, i'd switch in a heart beat.
amccloud··on Lesson: Oracle's driving MySQL to open core; don't sign contributor agreement
I should clarify. None of the tools for migrating my (rather simple) mysql database to pg work well or at all...

But on that note PgAdmin3 is pretty crap. At least on my mac.

amccloud··on Lesson: Oracle's driving MySQL to open core; don't sign contributor agreement
I'd love to migrate to postgresql. Unfortunately none of the published tools work well.
amccloud··on Watch other people code
I was just wishing for this. Sign me up! I hope this becomes a reality. I'd love to stream while I work. I just need to figure out a way to keep things like our api and secret keys private.
amccloud··on Ask HN: Why are so many Python Cloud Hosts in Beta?
http://gondor.io just came out of beta.
amccloud··on Show HN: Eight - A social magic 8 ball
Cool idea. The font is kinda hard to read though.

I think "voting" should be open to anonymous users. The public's consensus is the value you are offering. Without volume there is no value. Attracting that volume is key, meaning low barrier to entry is necessary.

amccloud··on Ask HN: On which project you're working right now?
http://pixelcloud.com A simple way for design teams to collaborate and share what they’re working on. :)

The stack: Python, Django, Backbone.js, MySQL, Solr, Redis, Nginx, Gunicorn.

The integration between Django and Backbone.js was a b*tch. I'll hopefully be osing two small apps that make it a breeze for others.

amccloud··on Show HN: PixelStew - pain-free collaboration and revision control for designers
Why did you decide to use Dropbox as your image store? I tried checking things out but I don't have a Dropbox account. :(
amccloud··on Ask HN: What do you use for payment processing?
https://stripe.com/
amccloud··on What did you buy first once you hit it?
It takes a lot for me to tear up, but "Bring every bill, everything you owe over to my place tonight. We're gonna write some checks." ... This.
amccloud··on My side project - http://complainator.com
Sorta like http://www.driver-ratings.com/ ?

I believe they are also selling the data to insurance companies.

Reminds me of http://www.okcupid.com/mybestface

amccloud··on Ask HN: Should I used a lexer and parser for this?
You should checkout http://haystacksearch.org/
amccloud··on Ask HN: What programming language was ______ written in?

amccloud··on Rate My Side/Weekend Project [abt.io]
I was thinking of doing something similar to this. I'm partially glad you didn't take the route I had in mind.

As for the facemash algo I think it was the ELO rating system. (when I watched the social network I squealed inside cause I recognized it instantly) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

amccloud··on Ask HN: Developers, how do you find high quality freelance work?
