What Android digital signage client are you using?

tomardern··on Astral – Organize Your GitHub Stars with Ease

This is brilliant. Just one thing missing...

... a chrome extension to show tags on the GitHub page.

tomardern··on Show HN: DailyFact – Learn one new thing everyday

I launched a similar project a couple of years a go - www.factoclock.com, it's a new fact every minute.

Anyone seen a similar implementation which doesn't need jQuery?

tomardern··on Ask HN: Printing via an HTTP request to a thermal receipt printer

I've just developed a way to communicate with a Toshiba printer. http://www.toshibatec-eu.co.uk/Europe/en/products/printers/o...

I ended up using http://www.bartenderbarcodesoftware.com/ to create the stickers, intercepting the request to the printer with WireShark, then finally re-creating the request using PHP sockets.

It's not easy!

tomardern··on Ask HN: Any good (PHP) PaaS with UK datacentres?

Nice - I'll take a look at fortrabbit. Your MYSQL Add-on pricing seems a little steep between 64mb and 512mb. Shame you do not have anything in the middle.

Shame that I have a wait to have a quick play. "Yeah! You will get a free slot in 5-7 days"

Viaduct looks promising but no pricing information.

Had a play with Layershift - Jelastic. Seems pretty good so far. Through Jelastic I am able to edit nginx configs, php-fpm configs and php.ini.
