It greatly heartens me to hear this "straight from the lizard's mouth."

In recent months (perhaps years) many people here on Hacker News have doubted the importance that Mozilla plays. I think today more than ever their importance shines.

I can't help but think that there's some connection between this announcement and Firefox OS. Purely speculation but I suspect that Samsung will be selling cheaper phones running Firefox OS and over time move towards it for more and more phones.

Adioso was adding a lot of budget airlines up until recently. It's worth checking out.

I think one of their engineering dudes actually lives in NZ, so probably more like they went and stayed at his place.

What I like about this comment, is that it has pissed off both sides of the story.

Absolutely. The idea was that it's a great starting place for someone to look at a heap of fonts and get a feel for what they like. It certainly was not meant as the end point for the logo. I wonder if there's some sort of smart kerning algo we could bang on each logo.

Thanks for the feedback. Will get onto that.

This was kind of the point of the project. I thought that looking at each font in isolation rather than scrolling was a better way of handling it. Also not worrying about tweaking any options means you can ideally get in and get out of the site quicker. Bit of an opinionated look on it I suppose, but interesting to see how people react to it.

Thanks a heap for the feedback. The click twice issue is really quite strange and annoying, needs to be fixed.

I've got the functionality for affiliate links in there, but not all fonts are necessarily affiliatable. I'll probably link to the ones that aren't anyway.

Thanks for the comments.

Hey guys, this was a side project myself and @wernah whipped up a while ago. While it isn't quite finished in terms of the basic functionality that we were hoping for, it's certainly almost there.

I appreciate the feedback. Couple of things that are most definitely need to be added.

- Hints/clickable buttons on either side of the logo that let the user know they can click either way for new logos. - Preloading a few logos so you don't need to wait for them. - Bigger array of fonts.

Personally I wish that the peeps over at Wikipedia could use nice design like the black out page on their donation drives.

This is the socially exceptable form of eavesdropping. You know, where you make it obvious you are eavesdropping and then enter the conversation.

And when you have population density. It makes economic sense to provide better services when you have x number of people per m^2 as compared to the Australian density.

I'm a big believer that Australian cities should be bearing this in mind and building up rather than out.

I'm keen to hear who else everyone thinks should be on the list...

I built a Twitter client that filters out everything in your feed except for Tweets including urls or photos. It's pretty good way of just finding the interesting stuff in your Twitter feed.

Video game publishers also chicken out and add a difficulty level selector at the beginning of the game, rather than dynamically adjusting the level.

This really reminds me of the old Joshua Davis experiments.

I didn't see that, nor did I see the blog. This guy is like the gift that keeps giving.

The point about Open Source contributions not meshing well. It is HARD to write any open source contribution that meshes well. Especially when you are on deadlines and your mods aren't quite what is needed but is a good starting point/proof of concept.

People that have never tried to get patches committed just don't get this.

I think this is less about AA being crap and more about you being a frequent flyer with ANY full service airline.

Its amazing how someone so obviously passionate can be completely screwed over by such bureaucracy. Do HR departments ever have humans running them?

Does anyone know who the competitor he is talking about is?

Hopefully this moves the development of ATD along. I wasn't particularly impressed with it's results. They weren't that much better than the spell/grammar check in Windows Live Writer.

Still has some ways to go.

I don't mind using code folding when I'm doing this. Trying to fold the code down that I don't care about, this way there isn't as much to read and get lost in.

I love how effective APIs are for developing not only the size/business aspect of sites but other things like pretraining developers and finding the best and keenest developers.

The principal of classification isn't that great, but it is in play and it is here to stay. So it does need to be fair.

This just underlines the point about scalability issues that this is running into and the great wall of Conroy will also run into. We all know the Internet is way too big to control so why try?

All this is saying is that iphone apps should be on the same playing field as all other computer games sold in Australia. Which is fair enough.

Now, I'm the first person to hate on Stephen Conroy and his ridiculously communist sensorship ideals, but this isn't really one of them.

Hahah. I wish I was a programmer on the team, the lead programmer doesn't force the new guy to actually think about what he is doing.

Not bitter, but have seen it so many times before. I'm pretty sure I was that young programmer just yesterday.

That's not my point. My point is that once the flight was cancelled they handled it from that point badly. I just booked my flight with Jetstar, waited in line for ages to apply for the refund and then went on my merry way. The problem was that they could have saved the 100 or so people a lot of time by being far more upfront about what they were going to provide and how to get that.

Sounds much less painless than what I experienced. They didn't even announce that you could call reservations and have them sort it out.
