m0digital··on Improving WebKit's Web Inspector
I've always used the latest WebKit nightlies to get the latest Inspector updates.

I've moved over to Chrome for OSX last week and haven't looked back. Whats nice about updates to the Inspector is that they'll be in Chrome as well.

IMO, Chrome now has the best of both worlds: Faster/better browsing (I like the tabs on top) experience and superb inspector.

m0digital··on Google Wave: too complicated for its own good
I think Google Wave will succeed...eventually. I'm not sure if they are aiming it as a replacement for GMail. Most non-technical people I talk to have no clue what Google Wave is and when I explain it to them, they usually could care less.

The concept is a big change from what we people are familiar with today and I think the only way for Google to try to make it a household name like GMail is to slowly merge the features into GMail. Once they get a large enough population raving about it, these people will usually make their friends/family/colleagues try it out, and from there adoption will gradually increase. But if Wave is not a replacement for GMail, I'm not sure people will go out of their way to use another service that most of the time their email program will do just fine.

Now, if you like the Google Wave concept, I ask you to give MooGroups (http://moogroups.com) a try. You get the power of centralized discussions directly in your inbox, without ever having to leave your inbox, without having to create an account, and while using any email program. Plus a polls gadget based on free-form text.

Thanks guys! Really looking forward to the event!
m0digital··on Geeks Try Google Wave, Have Mixed Feelings
"Mailing lists 2.0" is an interesting term. It's kind of the principle we have used in building MooGroups http://moogroups.com. Instead of setting up a mailing list only for a specific group of people you email often, we make it so that essentially each group email is its own mailing list, so people who are part of that group email can email each other in an organized fashion or opt-out as needed.

Unlike Google Wave, MooGroups is available now, being improved upon everyday, doesn't require any signup, and allows you to use any email system.

m0digital··on Ask HN: Review my email collaboration app - MooGroups
Yes. That is the trickiest part of getting started. However that step negates the user from needing to signup with another service. Normally, you would have to signup with a service, create your list, then invite your users, then send your message. This simplifies all of that with the cost of 1 initial email.

I've thought about this a lot and there just isn't any other option. One way to get around this is to build my own web/iphone/etc client which would know exactly how to handle the Cc's. But that is out of the current scope.

Putting the recipients in the body is not really an option since there is no auto-completion for email address in the body.

I'm left with trying to hammer that concept into anyone that uses the service with clear/concise/clever instructions.

m0digital··on Never mind the language, the programmer is what matters
Then that good programmer would leave to go work on a good language.
m0digital··on Ask HN: Review my email collaboration app - MooGroups
I was actually just going to use gmail screenshots, but I thought the Mac screenshots looked better. I tried to make it generic enough so that it could be just about any email program (minus the title bar buttons I guess).

Appreciate the feedback!

Thanks!

Good Wave is definitely some exciting technology. I feel that MooGroups and Google Wave have some similar functionality but not a complete overlap. Perhaps even integrate with Google Wave in the future.

m0digital··on Why We Need Audiophiles
Bose and Audiophile do not belong in the same sentence :)

Check http://audiogon.com/ for equipment.

My friends basement looks just like his basement. However I would trade his solid state amps for otl.

m0digital··on Young people prefer the sound of MP3s to uncompressed music
I'd take a OTL amp + a good turn table any day.
m0digital··on Ask HN: Do you write more/better code when you are drinking/drunk?
Ofcourse that's extremes to everything. If you develop while trashed I doubt its gonna turn out well.

However, I do find myself programming better with some beer. I actually feel a little more relaxed and focus better. Strange I know.

Skinned? By skinned you mean uploaded a logo and changed the background color. That is how all UserVoice sites look like.
m0digital··on Apple may use Carbon Fiber in Next Macbook
For a 3 lb MacBook Air, I seriosuly doubt they'll need to reinforce it with anything. A six layer carbon fiber bottom will be more than adequate.
m0digital··on Java ME developers switching to other mobile development platforms
I tried Java ME dev a couple years ago and discovered that it was a complete waste of time. Different manufacturers can choose to support different parts of the spec so your apps are never guaranteed to work on all Java ME supported phones.

It was a real disappointment.

m0digital··on Ask HN: Suggestions for Mac Laptop
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will return the yellow to white. My MB of 2 yrs still looks brand new.
m0digital··on How do you handle notes and ideas?
It all goes in my Moleskine. You'd be surprised how well just the act of physically writing something down w/ pen and paper will help you remember it. I look back at my notes once in a while but for the most part they're all retained in the brain.

Yep. Just rendered speculation.
m0digital··on Student charged after alerting principal to server hack
They probably brought in some consultants or authorities to do the investigating.
m0digital··on First look at Windows 7
I totally agree that these "new" features seem like a rip from other OSs.

I think the new and bold thing about Windows 7 is that it doesn't suck...as much. You gotta look at it from the perspective of a typical non-techie users. My mom had Vista and whens she needed help it took me quite a while to figure out all the crazy control panels and cryptic hidden settings. She once even deleted her network connection and couldn't get it back. Windows 7 will hopefully reduce the clutter and make it easier to use than Vista.
