trusko··on Startup 3.0: How to Build a Better Web Startup
Nice product. Started with Lesson 1. Thanks
trusko··on Why isn't there more iPhone/Android applications that use speech recognition?
Thanks. I didn't search that much on Android. I just assumed that situation would be similar to iPhone.
trusko··on Rails 3 beta: First impressions on a new app
I don't use Rails but this post looks like it provides close to 0 informational value.
trusko··on Ask HN: Please review my web app for web designers with no programming skills
I was about to write the same :D
trusko··on The Startup Story – From an Idea to Our First Customer in 7 Days
I think it is pretty cool service. Not sure about pricing. With english being my second language, I would definitely appreciate some corrections here and there. Good idea, keep working on it.
trusko··on AT&T To Launch Yelp Competitor
How can I get an invitation?
trusko··on Django admin now ships JQuery
I agree. I think it was good decision as well.
trusko··on Ask HN: Review my site - devcheatsheet.com
Very handy, good job! Bookmarked. Thanks.
trusko··on Review our startup (sirql.dwavesys.com)
I forgot to attach the URL: http://sirql.dwavesys.com/console/

You have to register to be able to manage your custom database.

trusko··on Review our startup (sirql.dwavesys.com)
We just added SQL console (under Try it now!). You can manage your own database (using phpMyAdmin) and run SQL against it.
trusko··on Please review the alpha of our startup: LifeThunder.com
I am not sure here but none of the screens except index and forums works for me. It just renders blank. I used both Safari and Chrome. Renders fine in Firefox. Even for Alpha, it's just basic navigation. Should fix that, I nearly gave up after it didn't work in two browsers.

Anyway, I like the idea but I am not sure I would trust anyone with all my personal information. Some people might. Security is key point here and it should be stressed out why people should trust you.

trusko··on Search engine and Django
Thanks. I will look into that. I was reading about solr, lucene, sphinx etc. I guess I just have to pick one.
trusko··on A peek inside a venture-capital pitch meeting
How about them being smart enough to recognize the good idea and find the talent as well? Am I naive? I understand that VCs are not the ones that need the money but also they want to make money.

"While some members of Grotech's team liked Wieler's idea, they said he didn't articulate his vision for the company very well."

If they liked it where is the problem then?

trusko··on Other startup got there before me. Stop or continue?
Difficult to say. If you feel confident that you can do better job and compete with them, keep going. Otherwise don't waste your talent and move on. On the other side, someone already said it - they may mess up.
trusko··on Maven builds are an infinite cycle of despair
Sure it not perfect

- very handy when starting new projects - easy to generate project files for Idea, Eclipse etc.

I used ant in the past, maybe it is more flexible, but also requires more work to set up initial build file. I find Maven just easier to use.

What I liked the most is consistency across project files, project structure.

trusko··on Ask HN: Should I support OAuth or OpenID?
I would say that it depends on the audience. I have to agree with xpaulbettsx, for some users it might be a problem to get the concept. However, I like OpenID idea a lot and plan to use it in my project.I just hate having 73 different user accounts on 57 different sites (I forget passwords and not all sites have nice tools to reset it).
trusko··on Review our startup (sirql.dwavesys.com)
We are in the process of making all documentation available online. One step at a time.

There are two possible deployments

1) Use SirQL as JDBC driver

2) Install and set up SirQL Server

Sirql Server is standalone server, analogous to database server. It handles database connectivity, connection etc. Also when you use SirQL server all computation is done on the server. We are going to publish architectural and deployment diagrams soon.

We don't have distribution that you would download and use at the moment. That's another item we are currently working on.

Have a look at demos at http://sirql.dwavesys.com/apps/ . Each demo comes with SQL that is used.

We are also working on SirQL console, where you will be able to edit and run SQL.

The URL is supposed to be http://sirql.dwavesys.com, I am not sure why it is cut-off in the title.
trusko··on Rate my web application: Perq
I like it a lot. I am looking at a solutions that would help us to track time off (not time tracking itself). Perq has very attractive pricing (10x cheaper than other solutions, I am looking at tracking time off for 50+ employees). Design is very nice and smooth. Good work!
trusko··on Ask HN: Tools for web design?
I would be also interested to see some good answers on this topic. I have pretty much the same background as you. I am trying to more design myself, before doing mostly web development - Java before now mostly Django. I recently switched to Mac. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestion on some good free tools on OS X?

GCV, hope you don't mind me adding this comment here.

Cheers,

Tomas
