It really depends on the kitten. If you are ever in the market for one, a visit to your nearest cat/kitten rescue centre will illustrate just how much of a unique personality each kitten has. Some sit on your lap and purr almost instantaneously, some are very nervous, some are playful, some mischievous, some seem to love kids, some don't etc etc.

no to both questions. As others have mentioned though, not really your target audience

I use a combination of framework and build it myself. It really depends on the aim of the site. Frameworks are nice for larger sites but if it's just something small, with a limited feature set, knocking up my own css and minimising the size of the assets is a good thing in my opinion.

I'm tinkering Click or Treat with http://clickortre.at a silly little halloween themed game with absolutely no point. Has got a halloween soundboard though :)

It's cool I've used it to start learning AngularJS. It's also cool because my daughter enjoys clicking the little ghost.

Urg. It should be off by default in my opinion. You should have to explicitly turn it on.

The trouble is, although OP believes Priceonomics should be solving his particular pain point, they clearly aren't in the business of "solving" it anymore. They are in the business of making money and if their site has downgraded your particular use case, it means, ceteris paribus, that it just wasn't making money for them.

Another vote for AngularJS. It is simply awesome.

You'll have a couple of hurdles when working with Django because they both use {{ }}. Using the Django {% verbating %} to enclose your Angular worked well for me. Also if you rely on $resource in Angular, it removes slashes from urls so sometimes it's easier to resort to $http or escape your slashes.

enjoy.

nice work on the site......cheeky bit of self promotion for my iphone tabata timer app https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/tabata-hiit-timer/id44160046...

Nicely done! Shameless plug for my own random thought a day with pseudo-random flickr image background: http://penny-for-your-thoughts.appspot.com/ also has an api if anyone wants to use it.

nice work. shameless plug for placeguitar that i put together a while ago - also in python. On github https://github.com/poissonpie/Place-Guitar

nicely done. I noticed on the about, contact, add lost, I've found and I've lost pages, your background image is not coming through..... unless that's deliberate?

I've got http://placeguitar.com - Guitar Image Placeholder written in python on google app engine

http://themepiggy.com - Open source themes based on bootstrap - written in padrino - still a work in progress - I really need to get more themes up there as well and finish off some of the code

otc or would i have to get a prescription?

Yah. I currently work for the NHS as a developer. Don't even get me started on this place - inefficiency upon inefficiency. Printers? holy cow, we've just installed "follow me printing" and because it was badly communicated and thought out, we now have several departments who can't print a damn thing because they are waiting on a pass code so they can set up their swipe card to allow them to print. Did I mention there is only 1 machine in the building that you can use to set up your card for printing? aiya.

Kelsey? I'll believe it when I see it - I tried to get hold of him informally a while ago about his coding4health...I got crickets.

Nice - I was watching this yesterday as it happens. Rob does a nice job with this one I though. Seems like he is aiming at the .NET community though, and with the hoo-ha about win 8 and metro style apps, can't say I blame him - there will, I think, be a massive market for bringing .net developers kicking and screaming into the HTML5/Javascript future. I work with quite a few of them and it's almost as if jQuery, node, backbone etc has passed them by.

I think it's also because guitars are relative cheap and portable. That and tablature - which basically takes away 1 pain point of learning an instrument - that of having to learn to read music at the same time as learning the physical skill.

Anyway, good luck to them.

Thanks.

Agreed, this particular law is a bit of an ass...

As a little self-promotion, there's also http://www.placeguitar.com

edit....just to link the source code in case anyone is interested https://github.com/poissonpie/Place-Guitar

SEEKING WORK - Remote/Freelance

UK based Web dev generalist. Lots of M$ experience, c#, sql server. Bits of PHP and Rails - enough to put something small together. Ditto for Python. I moonlight on iOS apps, though I'm by no means a "rockstar".

No. I would simply not give them my data in the first instance. I don't believe you should have to pay for privacy - especially if you are simply an average citizen.

http://coloringout.com - I'm not very good with colour schemes - this one let's me take an existing css and transmogrify it to a new colour, keeping the relative "distance" between each colour value. I built it in php and then in python. I use it....don't think anyone else does though :)

Place Guitar - http://www.placeguitar.com - guitar placeholder images that rock!

Coloring Out - http://www.coloringout.com - css colour transmorgrifier. I have no idea how to properly describe this - basically it lets you add a hex value to every hex colour in your css....so you can keep a relative colour scheme, but shift it up or down.

Yup - I've had a couple rejected....both were rejected with the old chestnut:

2.12: Apps that are not very useful, are simply web sites bundled as apps, or do not provide any lasting entertainment value may be rejected.

The first, I sort of expected - it wasn't terribly useful, but it was free and reasonably pretty, so I thought it might get through. It was my first app. Oddly enough, my second app was basically a theme on my first app, with the added advantage of an extra button that started and stopped the action. It sailed through.

The second is a great little baby rattle that every single baby/toddler I've given it to loves and plays with for ages, but Apple just didn't dig it. I was a bit surprised, especially given the number of other apps out there that are similar in functionality that have clearly been accepted.

I revised it once and added in some extra features and options, but it got rejected again for the same reason. My daughter still asks me if she can play with it about once a week, so I can't complain :)

Good luck on the submission - my best advice is submit and get straight on to either developing the next app or enhancing this one for a version 2 - it can take a while to hear back from Apple and you can waste a couple of weeks hitting the refresh button in gmail instead of working on your next app.

I retrained to be a Shiatsu therapist (Japanese acupressure massage). It was a three year part time course (here in the UK) and I had every intention of quitting the IT world. Once I had finished the course though, my outlook had changed (partially because of the course - the theory behind Shiatsu is based on theory behind acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine which is somewhat different to the more Western concepts I was brought up with). Anyway, now I do both - I code and I do Shiatsu.

I launched http://www.placeguitar.com - a placeholder image service in the style of placekitten, but with guitars!

I also launched a grammar application of iPhone that's in review.

Don't know if it counts as a launch but I rededicated an old domain to be my blog and put a fresh coat of paint on the stylesheet. http://twentyeighttwelve.com

this is awesome....it's kind of crying out for a bookmarklet....or maybe a "tech news aggregation site" front-end that fires off the "call" request after a small delay.....that way you can politely open a browser to pontificate over some fancy new gadget when said cow-orker sidles up to you...and all of a sudden...."oops excuuuuuse me, I have to take this call"

if you can get away with a very small MVP to test the idea out, then why not try something like http://www.weekendhacker.net - I realise you don't want to share the actual idea if it is fairly simple, but hey, you could word it a little obtusely.

You can, of course just hire a web developer - some advice from Derek Sivers http://sivers.org/how2hire
