justliving··on History of computing in Scandinavian Airlines System [in Danish] [pdf]
More than 100 airlines worldwide are using Amadeus (amadeus.com) today. There are different components to it such as Amadeus altea inventory (for managing their flight inventory, prices etc), altea reservation and altea DCS (for check-in and boarding). Additionally there are products to manage their websites (such as the e-commerce solution of Amadeus), revenue management systems etc. The main competitors are sabre (as mentioned) but also HP, Accenture, SITA and others are providing solutions in the same field.

It's a pretty mature industry and btw one of the first ones to move to the cloud.

justliving··on Ask HN: Where should I go on vacation
Albania!

Beautiful as Spain and other Mediterranean countries, extremely cheap, fantastic food, nice beaches, beautiful girls ;-) and very welcoming, curious and friendly people!

For more details: http://albaniatourism.info or shoot us an email at info@albaniatourism.info, we'd be happy to help you organizing your trip!

justliving··on HN Meetup Munich: April 2012
Thanks a lot for organizing this! We all really do appreciate!

Happy Easter to the MUC HNers!

justliving··on HN Announce: Meetup in Munich
Excellent!

@HSO: Thanks a lot for putting that together!

@Skoobe, thanks a lot for the sponsoring! Btw, very cool idea your app! I'll give it a run later today :-) !

justliving··on Poll: HN Meetup in Munich - date, agenda, etc. (second try)
15 Mar 2012 here as well!

In terms of suggestions: I'd be cool to see if we could make that a regular meet-up, e.g. every month.

For the first event, I'd recommend not to have any planned talks/presentation but to try it out and to see if we there'd be enough people to meet regularily.

justliving··on Poll: HN Meetup in Munich, Germany
@kojote: excellent site! That's exactly what I was searching for, since I am new in MUC since a couple of months. Excellent events you have listed.

Is there a way to have a per-month view and/or lotus-notes invitations?

keep it going! Cheers

justliving··on Poll: HN Meetup in Munich, Germany
I am in as well! Excellent idea!
justliving··on Best way to manage contacts and build a "living" network for my young career?
I guess that already exists in some way or the other (e.g. social media monitoring). The interesting bit here would be to track interactions w/ a specific person throughout different social medias.

Just my 2cts ;-)

justliving··on Best way to manage contacts and build a "living" network for my young career?
I do have exactly the same problem/need and would add the following requirements:

1/ add history per contact: e.g. met X during event Y and talked about Z.

2/ integrate w/ my prefered mail application and other communication means (twitter/fb & co) to keep track of the interactions I had w/ the person in question.

Anybody interested in building that? I'd be more than happy to help :-)

justliving··on Ask HN: Which books/blogs on PR would you recommend?
great advise! Thanks a lot!
justliving··on Ask HN: Which books/blogs on PR would you recommend?
thanks a lot, very insightful. Had actually never heard about Jason Calacanis. Will check out his podcast and his blog, looks quite interesting :-) !

Would you remember any other blog/book/recommendation you read at the time ... ?

justliving··on [German] Google buys the German Groupon competitor DailyDeal
>> The only successful german software corporations are SAP

May I ask how you define "successful"? Successful compared to what/whom?

>> Where engineering study is really hard the CS curriculum is pathetic

Here again, on what facts do you base this statement? The fact that you met a guy who did not know about a given softare dev pattern does surely not mean that no German CS Master knows about it, right? Further is CS all about programming? I don't think so! How long have you been around in Germany? Did you study there? If yes in which university? Where do you work? Have you come around enough to get to such conclusions?

In general, I think that your comment is much of the reality and shading quite a bad light on "all" Germans in IT. I think you should not generalize, just because you made a bad experience once.

just the 2cts from a German, working in IT, feeling offended by such generalizing comments ;-)

cheers

justliving··on Ask HN: Evaluate my side project please?
kind of stumbleupon for free apps?

Nice idea! Perhaps you should make is clearer what exactly it is all about :-)

Good luck!

justliving··on Show HN: Screen scraping for dummies app
sounds good! I like especially 1/ and would add a dead simple API to it! Is this part of your plans?

Besides, it might be intersting to play around w/ your stuff and yahoo-pipes.

justliving··on Ask HN: Review my product concept: farsquare - A doorbell for your meetups
Nice idea!

Personally, I really liked the presentation, as it is very clear. You may want to put it on the top of the page!

Else, nice MVP!

+1 for the name: I'd suggest to change it to something less similar to another popular service.

justliving··on Show HN: Screen scraping for dummies app
nice! What are your future plans for it? E.g. which features do you plan to add for my grand-mother :-) ?
justliving··on How to Get a Raise
I would recommend

- Bargaining for Advantages: http://www.amazon.com/Bargaining-Advantage-Negotiation-Strat...

The very best negotiations book I have ever read.

Further, you should check-out the Harvard Negotiation Project: http://www.pon.harvard.edu/category/research_projects/harvar...

They do have nice and free reports on the different aspects of negotiations.

Let me know if you need further pointers!

justliving··on Hacking Ikea products to make them personal
that would be great indeed! Both for inkscape as well as for XKCD, dilbert would be cool as well, though :-)
justliving··on My Android development income report
could you pls specify, which company you are refering to? Would be great to know :-)

Cheers

justliving··on Ask HN: Review our iPhone multiplayer game "Presidents & Assholes"
thanks a lot for your comment, happy you like it.

Regarding your remark: it was exactly our aim to make people think about the good old times. But you are right, it might be a bit limiting. We'll have a look on how to improve it.

justliving··on Ask HN: Please review our iPhone multiplayer card game
Hello everybody,

I was lurking around HN since a couple of years now without submitting a lot. Finally, I decided to take the leap today and to ask you for a review of our multi-player card game "Kings & Servants" (aka Assholes, Presidents & Assholes etc). More on the game-rules on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asshole_%28card_game%29

I'd really appreciate if you could have a look at both the website and the game and provide us with your feedback :-) ?

What do you think? What could be improved in terms of graphics, game play, social interactions, "virality"?

We are eager to hear what you think and I ll stay around to try to answer your questions!

Thanks a lot in advance!

justliving··on Facts and explanations about the Albanian language
cool, thanks a lot for the update. Quite interesting.

Regarding the website overall, it's nicely done, keep up the good work.

Cheers

justliving··on Facts and explanations about the Albanian language
I agree, I thought that it might be intersting for others as well hence I submitted this article. I am not an expert in this field unfortunately, so if somebody knows more about it, I d be interested to hear more :)

Somebody from Albania around?

justliving··on Ask HN: How does Mint.com work?
I have been using quite a bit of python and beautifulsoup.

justliving··on Ask HN:Small ideas
I'd recommend doing something along the lines of: http://www.dollarapp.com/

the principle is quite easy: 1guy develops an iphone application during 1month and sells it for $1. He invests all the revenue in the next app to make it somewhat more fancy/advanced ...
