  1. @mattlangtree @xeeton Some good ideas there. Not too keen on the open briefcase: nice on a website but weird shape for an icon.
  2. @mattlangtree I can get replacement for scratched iPhone camera lens for $3 on eBay, 10 min install. Maybe they have home buttons too?
  3. @iAWriter does Writer support Lion's auto-save system? I don't wanna spend 10 bucks, then find out it doesn't have auto-save.
  4. @mattlangtree @fdeschenes yeah, I re-wrote that so I could unlicense it. That's why no line numbers or CSS/JavaScript syntax colors
  5. @fdeschenes @mattlangtree My code editor, Dux, is now on github. This is a prerelease, it may eat your code. github.com/abhibeckert/dux
  6. @mattlangtree I've seen Xcode Behaviors but dunno how to use it
  7. @mattlangtree it's raining alright twitter.com/abhibeckert/st…
  8. @mattlangtree @stinhambo just updated Open Torch for devices without a flash (3GS, iPad, etc). DM me your UDID and I'll send you a build
  9. @asymco I wonder if smartphones are already at saturation point among some age/income groups. Seems that way from what I see on the street
  10. @asymco I see lots of iPhones, occasionally android, and very rarely a non-smartphone, among friends and friends of friends.
  11. @asymco is there any phone marketshare data broken down by demographics? The data you have is way out among people I meet day to day
  12. @mattlangtree I blame Dan Bengamin's new daughter. Whole of @5by5 has been a bit out of sorts while he's gone
  13. @csswizardry if a designer can't learn to code awesome fairly quickly after some training, we fire them. It's not that hard.
  14. @marcusramberg one that is automatically generated based on your server side validation rules. Accept no less!
  15. @Eric_WVGG a copyright law technicality makes it illegal to be on App Store, we are working on it but lots of t's to cross and i's to dot
  16. @Eric_WVGG why charge when we don't need to? We get plenty of donations 
  17. @AliceLikesBob @siracusa Ruby is my favorite language, but even I don't like MacRuby. Cocoa is designed for Obj-C's named message arguments.
