I work in HE in Australia and a number of unis have switched from manual/xls to Akari [0]
A comparison page on your website with CourseDog vs X would be welcome – just so it’s easy to see what you provide vs the market
A scheduling tool that works with academic workload models (not sure if this is Australia specific thing) that optimises[1] academic and resource/room allocation would be very welcome
* No. 1 complaint from students is class scheduling!
[0] http://www.akarisoftware.com/index.cfm/page/solutions
[1] with multiple optimisation models
- students want more classes at student friendly times that allow work+study
- universities want less classes
- academics want classes in work friendly hours etc...Trying to use ChromeOS 90% of the time in tablet mode just isnt going to work
Should of gone with a slimmed down Pixel with a flip or slide keyboard (with trackpad) - that wold of been awesome and actually make sense
Pixel C doesnt work
Anyone whose tried to use Android as a laptop replacement - with keyboard etc.. knows the pain - Android doesn't work as a 'work' device/laptop - wish it would but it currently just doesnt :(
mainly ability to sync changes made offline on clients back to server and handle conflicts?
question: is it possible to get a PDF/print out version so that i can start playing robot turtles with my son till the international version ships?

Assuming you've installed the extension you can grab its source from Chrome .config directory * which I imported and updated to github: https://github.com/justinkelly/chrome-rss
The actual original source in SVN/Git may already be public but i've no idea where it is - somewhere deep in the chromium repo??
* https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-subscriptions-...
Like many on the list I'm a heavy chrome and rss user. Though the demise of Google Reader is no great surprise I was grumpy that Google removed the RSS Subscription extension from the Chrome webstore.
I've forked Google's extension, updated it and loaded back into the Chrome webstore.
Added support for Feedly, NewsBlur and The Old Reader. Removed Google Reader, iReader, My Yahoo
Also code is now up on github

are you specifically targeting the bitcoin crowd with nameterrific?
re g+
- if on android/iphone and not using g+ app the albums/photos aren't so great
- urls are to longs and not presonalised
- if the users isnt logged into g+ there to much chrome around the albums
- photos are 2nd class g+ citizens
re 1 - thanks - ive about 100 albums on g+ - dont want to go and have to click into each 1 then click 'storify' just so the album contents display
re 3 - thanks - if video was treated just like a photo would be perfect
re 4 - both sub-domain and full domain - so i can point photos.mydomain.com to mystorify
re 5 - thanks - this is so i can email the link as photos.mydomain.com/london2012
couple of things:
1 - Can you 'storify' all albums by defaults
2 - Can you change the sort order of the albums to Newest to Oldest
3 - What about videos - can i add youtube embed to a story ?
4 - Custom domains would be good
5 - Custom story/album url / slug would be good
tested and works great
next thing on their list is selective sync
they plan on making $ off business/power users - really hope that works out for them
from there it went downhill, have exported by posterous blog into octopress - and havent looked back
if there are any other posterous people looking to jump to octopress i've setup http://p.ostero.us to make the move to markdown/hosted octopress painless
cheers

i like g+ alot so hopefully it catches up - just not hoping for any more earthquakes any time soon :)
re twitter - most comments came through via people im following - didnt search the hastag till later
mainly trying to understand why g+ didnt do as good as i expected it to do
i rally like g+ and was hoping the good info would be there right away - but twitter won the race
re interconnections
* depending on the target market
* the people who need integration already do some form of accounting already - and a 'full stack' accounting solution like http://xero.com is more appropriate for this market
* simpleinvoices market is people with no accounting system or desire for debit/credit stuff so we have make no attempts to make quickbooks, etc. integration work
the web based invoicing market is extremely crowded and very hard to complete against the likes of freshbooks.com
though i went the opposite route to you and its working $ for me
created the open source app http://simpleinvoices.org first, got large user based, then offered premium hosting at http://smarterinvoices.com
questions: - any word on pricing? will there be a monthly min? - also can i set up recurring charges with pin?
great work
cheers
justin
i've applied, sounds good even it done remotely
