Re: The Wall of Technical Debt

I get the thinking here but is that realistic? We are in the same situation and to be fair, sending over chess coordinates is a lot easier than syncing 2 boards with stickies that can be moved, edited, removed, dots added, ...

Re: Juggling Between To-Do List Tools

Chris Ramakers — Wed, 02 Mar 2016 01:53:57 -0000

I'm in the same boat ... juggling productivity apps is one of the most unproductive things in my workflow ever! I've been using a ton of them: Trello, Asana, Wunderlist, FireTask, Evernote, AndDo, Things, ... I've used them all, heck in the days when GTD was hot I was even using a moleskin as taskmanager (go figure). But the one i'm using now is sticking for one reason or another ... I've switched to Todoist a couple of months ago and it just works.

I haven't tried it but judging based on the docs it should work the same since the api endpoint and response haven't changed.

Re: Amaranthe – The Nexus Review

Propably the first honest and unbiassed comment to this review, judge them for what they are, a metal band with heavy pop influences trying to break through to the mainstream audience. If you dare to listen to them with this point of view you might actually not hate them so much but see they are pretty skilled in what they do: making the link between mainstream pop and metal.

Re: Sony announces PlayStation 4 with 8-core x86 processor, 8GB GDDR5 memory and DualShock 4 controller

And that's where Valve comes in with their hardware ... if they can pull it off we have a open console-like platform with all the flexibility of PC mods, F2P, etc ... that PC currently offers in a console form factor.

I see great things happening in the future :-)

Re: A fresh new Dropbox on the web

Chris Ramakers — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 03:35:37 -0000

That only depends on what you use it for, box is better if you take the business plan, cloudapp is better if you just want quick sharing and droplr is an excellent cloudapp clone.

So I doubt it's really too little too late, dropbox is still very relevant imo, even though I doubt a lot of people actually use the web-interface a lot, the real power in dropbox lies in the seamless sync across devices, that's where imo it's still unrivaled.

Re: De kern @ Nucleus - Overstap van SVN naar GIT

Chris Ramakers — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 08:47:10 -0000

Wij zijn ook recent overgeschakeld van SVN naar GIT en hebben sindsdien niet meer omgekeken. De adoption is super snel en vlot gegaan en git-flow zorgt voor een gestoomlijnde development workflow waar iedereen de vruchten van plukt. Ik ben fan :)

Re: Horizontal Signup Form

Chris Ramakers — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 14:31:07 -0000

Yea, i remember back in 2005 i wrote a blogpost about your signup form (http://goo.gl/gJDLq) and lateron suggested how to implement it semantically correct (http://goo.gl/A58lj)

Re: Horizontal Signup Form

Chris Ramakers — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 14:29:18 -0000

They've been using this technique since at least 2005 when I wrote a blogpost about it at http://goo.gl/gJDLq and later suggested how they should properly implement it semantically http://goo.gl/A58lj.

So my guess is yes, since they are still using it i think it's conversion rate is quite OK. Unless they haven't A/B tested it which is a shame and surprising :)

Re: Google Unveils Hotpot, a Recommendation Engine for Places

Chris Ramakers — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 10:53:42 -0000

What strikes me the most is it really is a joy to use, has local places and actually is useful and not some early release labs toy ... good job Google!

Re: Trademark Fight: Intel Is Worried You Might Think It Is A Chinese Travel Agency

Chris Ramakers — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 06:10:42 -0000

That was exactly my thought, it seems that Intel is trying to safeguard their future assets by sueing these people, in fact when intel would, in the future, launch a service or product by the name intellife intel itself could be subject to a law suit.

It's a shame this doesn't get more media attention since in my opinion this would hurt Intel's reputation alot and that is just what they deserve by taking this kind of legal actions.

Het loopt al jaren niet meer goed met mij omdat we 's middags en 's avonds naar zijn gekweel moeten horen. Ik denk da'k ook eens een bezoekje ga brengen aan de VRT studio's als ie nog eens een poging tot zingen doet. Den onnozelaar.

Re: Rallypoint Offers an Ajax Word Solution

I'd like to support Rob on this one ... the amount of new Web2.0 projects has taken an immense boom over the past months and personally i'm overwhelmed by the "another beta" feeling. I wonder if it's possible for a site to do private beta testing and go straight on to live version at release instead of making all this fuzz while still being in beta.
