The next trick is taking all those steps in one direction, otherwise you can end up dancing around in one place like a madman, not actually getting anywhere. :-)

On average, how much of a code project's big success could be significantly attributed to luck? Luck alone never gets it there, but still. I code because of the small rewards, so whatever the answer is, I'm fine with it. :)
- Micah Wittman
I'm currently coding for a machine that has 12 bytes of variable memory and 256 bytes of program memory. In a language with 32 commands. Am I coding small enough?

Now wonders what Kevin is working on for Facebook ;-)

Light and sound effects with a few triggers.

I must admit to being baffled by systems shipping with many gigabytes of code now that have similar functionality to systems with a few megabytes of code 15 years ago.
- Cristo
Kevin, nice! Now I want one. I remember writing a BASIC program in High School that controlled some AND gates via parallel cable on a circuit board we created in my electronics class. The purpose was to control 4 step motors. Awesome that you can just pre-program a chip now on a device like this that will do similar things. Need to look into that.
- Jesse Stay
Check out Revision3's podcasts. There are some with Patrick Norton doing this on System (I think that's the right one)

@Paul: Which font size do you recommend for the code editor? 14pt? or is 10pt even better? ;)
- Jemm
Soner - that's a great example, actually. jQuery has been transformative, IMO, even in the face of alternative JS frameworks which aren't bad, just not greatness in a small package.
- Micah Wittman
Paul isn't it time for another sip of the premature optimization is the root of all evil kool-aide? You just aren't getting it :-)

Just what I need. An explosion of data coming into the stream

Sorry, Robert. I'm typing. Then again, I'm not on the call... didn't realize it was disruptive ;-)
- Ken Sheppardson
I want tweetdeck or seesmic to be a full "real-time" web browser : with all real-time information in there : Twitter, Facebook... etc, but also Gmail, my RSS feeds,... etc
- Julien
Ken, that doesn't mean we can't hear you.
- Cliff Gerrish
Francine: I haven't seen any of that stuff on my stream yet. Probably has a big impact on search.
- Robert Scoble
Julien => it sounds like google wave what you want
- Pierre TAMISIER
Cliff: So you can hear the Blue Angels overhead too then?
- Ken Sheppardson
Keep looking, I have 10.01 via iTunes.

I know but the live format isnt always convenient from a timing perspective. some of us work! lol

Francine: I use them less and less, usually only for conferences. And even then I hate them.
- Robert Scoble
Oh, and people now spam by putting hashtags on irrelevant tweets
- Francine Hardaway
I need a visual map on how these things work or I can't adapt easily.

Bored dog just countersurfed in my kitchen, took the top off the crockpot and tried to take out the chicken! Thank goodness a fail!

Can someone please move the pointer out of the middle of the screen?

I like Brizzly's take on a wikified hashtag index right inside the client. It's got flaws but it's a good start. Would love to see an "official" hashtag wiki. Then again, Twitter doesn't feel like a wiki-friendly company. More on Brizzly at http://www.louisgray.com/live...

Matthew, we just have to live with it for this show.

Robert, I'm curious, are you aware of Cliqset? Some of the issues you've brought up are problems we're very interested and about to help solve.
- Darren
Yeah, I'm barely aware of Cliqset, I will be interested in trying that out. Probably this weekend.
- Robert Scoble
looks like we need a standard for these activities in a stream... oh wait there's one! What we need is an easy wait to be a "source" with existing clients (ie. making seesmic/tweedeck activity stream clients for many services, not just twitter/facebook)
- Sylvain Carle
Creating a simple and effective way for a social media publishing workflow (avoiding duplication) is very difficult at the moment.
- Mark Krynsky
Yea, the came in the client... but never further than that : Mosaic would have never been the web browser if it couldn't browse any website : http://blog.superfeedr.com/Real-ti...
- Julien
"Privacy" means "multi groups" while "public" means "one group", no ?
- Baptiste Cadiou
Just signing into Cliqset to see if it solves anything
- Francine Hardaway
Public means multiple scale free microcommunities.
- Cliff Gerrish
Public = you determine whether or not you're a member, Private = I do.
- Ken Sheppardson
Agree with Mark K - GR does a good job, feedly is a fine app which also provides suggestions.
- Dave Martin
I wrote about Twitter Times yesterday which Kevin just mentioned http://lifestreamblog.com/custom-... It's a great way to filter Twitter links by the people you follow on Twitter.
- Mark Krynsky
Well, it shouldn't have to be just your friends... I'd like to see some sort of wizard that let you build up groups, e.g. "Create a group of all the peole my friends follow, and show me trending topics among those people"
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken, if Twitter rolls out lists soon and allows that data to be passed to the API Twitter Times could leverage that automatically.
- Mark Krynsky
I want to see the principal that Twitter Times has released to be created on a wider scale. Imagine that logic expanded across multiple social media services and the people you follow on each of them. Then mash the data across all of them. It become far more interesting and useful at that point.
- Mark Krynsky
Kevin, TwitterTimes looks like something actually useful.
- Francine Hardaway
If the software is delivered or installed as a compiled runtime application, does the license explicitly allow reverse engineering ? http://www2.computer.org/portal...
"If not, the Digital Copyright Millennium Act probably prohibits reverse engineering, and thus you might not be able to legally run binary or runtime analysis or use decompilers. Of course, laws rarely stop hackers or criminals."
- Nishant
I thought code is obfuscated before deployment to avoid the reverse engineering or decompilation. But yes obfuscation has its limits.

I am trying to set up a simple web site on Google sites and I am bit annoyed to find they don't support <script> tags. Anyone know of a simple web page creation service that supports script
or wordpress.com if you don't like ken's suggestion cuz it costs money
- Chris Heath
Was weebly useful? would like to know.. so that I can also give it a shot!
- Nishant
Nishant... I have to say so far my experience with Weebly has not been great. They claim they are experiencing a DOS attack and therefore my web page won't load any more :(. It also does not look like it is super-flexible but I did manage to build what I wanted.
- Bindu Reddy
Nothing beats hosting on your own domain... your content, your scripts, your analytics... you own and control. I used to like Googlepages for simple stuff since you could upload any arbitrary files, but the migration to Google Sites really locked down what you could do.
- LogEx
agree with LogEx i too was disappointed by the scraping of pagecreator
- testbeta
I ended up using Google AppEngine as well to migrate all my geocities stuff. Google Sites is really lame.
- Piaw Na
Hi -- David from Weebly here. I just wanted to chime in and say that although we were experiencing a very heavy DDoS attack earlier, we have managed to mitigate the effects, and everything should now be completely back to normal. We have run into DDoS attacks before and have successfully weathered those without any issues arising, but this weekend's attack was extremely large and much...

Why such an obsession with 'billion' dollars? They can still be in million $s and be very useful to their users...... niche in their own space... and still be the next big things (innovations.) .. ...still be the disruptive technologies! ... Is it just me or the billion dollar tag- helps create a hype? help me understand! thanks!
- Nishant
Foursquare is one of the next interesting round of companies dipping into LBS. I'll buy that. But it's far to earlier to make such a sweeping generalization. And a billion dollars is a number for pulling out of a hat. Without a sound business plan, that's just irresponsible blathering.

I have a PHP application built on LAMP. What would be the best web host for my needs? 1. Basic web hosting. with possibility of expanding to use AWS. 2. Easy integration with Amazon WS.
I need to buy one. Looks worth the wait? looks like!
- Nishant
Historically they introduce new ones in September as soon as the back to school sale is over and they've hence cleared inventory of the older model. Best guess on date would be to check when the current iPod Touch back to school sale ends.

Yes it has effected my posting frequency-especially the upswing in friendfeed activity. But the clincher for me has been facebook. Our company is utilizing facebook along with Twitter, Linkedin, and blogging. We love it but it has become a juggling act to feed all of the hungry "mouths."
- dean
Not less frequent, but there is some duplication now and not sure how the followers feel about it.
- Fossil Huntress
Yes, but contrary to the Twitter explosion, I have made more 'solid' business connections (and a few friends :) right here on Friendfeed.
- Charlie Anzman
Yes, It has delayed, or slowed my pace of blogging, but I think the increased traffic will result from all the Social Networking, and thereby justify the time spent Not Blogging.
- Trey Morgan
from email
Yes. But I have interacted much more with medical bloggers via twitter & ff than via my blog. So, I'd take that as a positive shift :)
- Vijay
Yes. But my blogging frequency has never been high. The change now is, I have consciously moved my insubstantial stuff (one liners, links) to Twitter and FF. So the blog is of more useful and substantial content.
