nanexcool··on WakeMate Photo Op
I followed tlrobinson's advice and bought Sleep Cycle for the iPhone. It's 0.99 and works well. Still, I'm optimistic about WakeMate, especially the analytics.
nanexcool··on Fake Steve Jobs: Why I'm Switching to Android
I'd buy an Android phone if they were available in Mexico. In the meantime, I have an iPhone and I like it.
nanexcool··on 99designs Beats DropBox & Tumblr, Creates Video
I thought lip dubbed videos went out of style a few years ago? Still, it was ok.
nanexcool··on Review My App: Hacker / Entrepreneur Salon
Why not do an MVP and then ask for input? That's the usual advice given here on HN.

I'd all but forgotten about WakeMate, and they too have my 5 dollars. Here's hoping they get their act together soon, because my sleep cycle is still quite bad.
nanexcool··on My webapp: pik
Using Chrome 5.0.342.9 beta on Ubuntu 10.04. Got a popup saying "The latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, or Safari are recommended for using pik."

nanexcool··on Virtualbox 3.2.0 Beta 1 released, experimental OS X Guests
Which file are you downloading? I'm trying virtualbox-3.2_3.2.0~beta1-60785~Ubuntu~lucid_i386.deb

I downloaded the Guest Additions without problems.

nanexcool··on Virtualbox 3.2.0 Beta 1 released, experimental OS X Guests
My download is timing out at 419 KB, anyone else having problems?
nanexcool··on Ubuntu 10.04 Released
My biggest gripe with the new theme is the taskbar. I confuse which window has the focus. It seems to me that the colors should be inversed.

I tend not to trust these kind of news until I read about them on the Bad Astronomer's blog.
nanexcool··on Ask HN: Could you please help me appreciate OS X more?
That Dell would make a sweet Hackintosh too. Looks like it can run Snow Leopard just fine.
nanexcool··on IPad App Idea - You are free to take it
I like the idea but can't help thinking someone somewhere will use an actual coin to scratch...
nanexcool··on It's Alive
That button looks just like Facebook Connect.
nanexcool··on Bootstrapping by freelancing
I'm in a very similar situation. Doing some freelance programming while working on my app(startup hopefully). I'm in Mexico City though. If you're ever in town we should get together and share some stories!

Mexico

The author is Dan Lyons aka Fake Steve Jobs.
nanexcool··on The greatest enemy of the programmer: hemorrhoids
I had surgery because of this last year. You can read some of what happened on my mostly abandoned blog. There's 10 or more posts about that. Read on, then try to do something about it if you've got them.

nanexcool··on Tell HN: Translating Gaia (and Offering Bounties for Languages)
I'll be doing the Spanish translation.
nanexcool··on Philip K. Dick on Blade Runner
Please do try! I have original VHS versions of both the theatrical release (hard to find!) and subsequent director's cut which became the mainstream. Now you can find them all on DVD. I recommend watching the director's cut, then the original theatrical release. Changes aside from the voice over are really subtle, but important! If you want to go for completeness, watch the final cut as well.

Maybe I'm just a hardcore fan, but I did that with my girlfriend while explaining all the differences and she really liked it.

nanexcool··on Kayak.com Makes Developers Do Customer Support
Great find, thanks! My favorite quote from this was:

"If you make the engineers answer e-mails and phone calls from the customers, the second or third time they get the same question, they'll actually stop what they're doing and fix the code. Then we don't have those questions anymore."

I'm waiting for WakeMate.
nanexcool··on The Steam Holiday Sale
Thought we could all take a break and buy a couple of games.
nanexcool··on Google Chrome more popular than Safari
That's because it only installs for the current user, not everyone on your machine. The exe is located in C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
