Again would love to do it. Will keep it in mind for next year. I mainly was wondering re Perth as I have family there :)

cbetta | 13 years ago | on: You half assed it. That is why your PhoneGap application sucks.

What concerns me the most of this post is that it offers no clear alternatives. Are we expected to write all of the UI by hand? That's not really comparable to native development.

I would like to see a light-weight Javascript UI and MVC library that is recommended by Phonegap.

cbetta | 14 years ago | on: Redesigning GitHub

I've been trying to explain to people lately how to use Github and every time I tell them to go to "Commits" they get totally lost. Everything is the same grey bland, there are a total of about 7 navigation bars, and a lot of clutter. The fact that they get lost is a clear sign that something is very wrong.

This design is obviously a recognition of the problems and a suggestion of what could be. It's not 100% right but it illustrates the possibilities.

I'm very confident that the guys at GH know this though and I'm looking forward to what they come up with.

20/30 people on a regular router that has an IP range of 255 IPs will quite often fall over, I've seen it happen more than once.

What a bullshit post. Apple didn't invent the ads, they're already there! Look at the app store and you will find numerous apps that have free ad-supported versions. Apple is only getting in the space to make sure we get quality ads, and not ads for viagra or other annoying stuff that we really don't care about.

Nice discussion. I personally use http://tipit.to because I can actually get money out of that service, making it much more interesting as an alternative to an advertisement revenue stream. Tipjoy is not free and doesn't allow you to get any money out of the service, which make it a harder sell for me.

Secondly I personally think a tip service should definitely be a very social enterprise, and I have the feel that Tipit is that a bit more, with their "pledging of tips", etc. I think you'd just have to go and see for yourself.
