Just finished Tower Lord, it's the sequel to Blood Song, by Anthony Ryan. Blood Song stands pretty strong all on its own, I'm not even sure if he ever planned for this to become a series. But book two (Tower Lord) makes it quite clear that this is now a Game of Thrones esq series.
Just started Old Mans War last night, haven't gotten far enough into it to form an opinion.
This was a fun app to build, once you login we are using Backbone.js + Marionette.js to handle almost everything. We've built Backbone apps before, but in this one it all came together. I hope people check it out.
This is an interesting play. Normally I'd assume you wouldn't go out and tell everyone, hey I make website X.com and it earns $Y every year during November. Clearly he's concerned about being penalized by Google and is trying to get a link juice boost; would love to see a follow up December 26th with what worked and what didn't.
I too find it irritating when other wireframing tools don't have that one thing I am looking for. The ability to easily create your own on the fly sounds interesting.
Handful of questions:
Drawing with a finger/pen on a tablet... will the lines auto-smooth? Is there a scripting language under new elements? Would I be able to combine elements and make a reusable gallery type super element?!
Will my clients have to install something to view my templates? Can I send them a URL or will I have to export an image?
So lets go ahead and pass the bill as is, with an amendment that requires us to study the potential affects of the bill at a later time before enacting the bill.
I'm sorry but no thank you. I don't trust you money grubbing ass hats to enact the bill properly; I'm not going to trust you to study the already passed bill properly.
I love how everyone keeps asking where is the compromise from the tech industry. This bill is like someone saying "Hi Bob, this store you have here is great, but sometimes someone comes in and steals one of my products off your shelves and since you can't guarantee me that I will get paid for every one of my products that walks out the door I'm going to have to shut down your store until you can."
But, to answer your question; great job. Did you get the sense that she truly had any idea what would happen if SOPA/PIPA pass as they are written today?
Their limitations make sense, you just have to look at your own usage and decide if it will work for you. I don't feel like they are hiding anything, I read through their entire site yesterday and it was all there in black and white.
The only concern I do have is how well will actually work? Does it switch seamlessly when I leave the range of my wifi like the site claims. A co-worker signed up and has one on the way, so we will find out soon.
At least they are more upfront about the "unlimited" rules than other carriers like say AT&T. Even Sprint is close to killing off their unlimited plans.
