justinkelly··on Launch HN: Coursedog (YC W19) – Resource Planning Software for Higher Ed
Congrats on the launch of Coursedog!

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...
justinkelly··on The Pixel C was probably never supposed to run Android
The Asus Chromebook Flip works great as a ChromeOS 'tablet' - just assuming that you use it in laptop mode 90% and tablet 10% of the time.

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 :(

justinkelly··on Telepat: Real-Time, Open Source Data Sync

Google's Chrome extensions are BSD like license

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??

justinkelly··on Show HN: Forked and updated the Chrome RSS subscription extension Google removed
this extension can't at the moment, but there is an extension that does

Hi Guys

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

justinkelly··on Show HN: myStorify.com - storify your photos
thanks

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

justinkelly··on Show HN: myStorify.com - storify your photos
looks great - have been looking for a new home for all my public photos now posterous is not being further developed - have settled on g+ albums but not that happy with it

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

justinkelly··on Google Calendar now has spam
Didn’t know that this was even possible - but there is now spam in Google Calendars
justinkelly··on GDrive finally comes to Linux thanks to insynchq.com
i've been watching insynchq for ages and so glad that they delivered on their promise of a linux client

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

justinkelly··on Twitter-Owned Posterous Loses Databases, Offline for 2 Hours Plus
prefect timing :( - coincided the unexpected outage of my site with the posterous outage
justinkelly··on Twitter-Owned Posterous Loses Databases, Offline for 2 Hours Plus
i agree - loved posterous until they started the spaces thing

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

justinkelly··on Melbourne earthquake - social media analysis: G+ fails
agreed - at the moment twitter is better for real time location specific news - than g+, fb, or newspapers

i like g+ alot so hopefully it catches up - just not hoping for any more earthquakes any time soon :)

justinkelly··on Melbourne earthquake - social media analysis: G+ fails
re facebook - fair comment

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

justinkelly··on Just open sourced my 10k LOC PHP & MySQL invoicing app
re ledgdersmb - yep - the ledgersmb crew did some great work to the SimpleInvoices code to make it work for them

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

justinkelly··on Just open sourced my 10k LOC PHP & MySQL invoicing app
great to see this open sourced - sorry to hear you closed neoinvoice though

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

justinkelly··on Pin is Australia’s first all-in-one payment API
sounds great - just what we need
