Hi All,

I was pretty young during the dot com boom and I was talking about it with some guys at work when they experienced the crash. It got me thinking about what tech stacks were companies or startups using at the time and what was it like to maintain them/keep them running.

Hi Everyone!

Are there are any Sydney based startups looking for developers?

Thank you :)

Hi Everyone,

I've been having a problem lately where I feel like my code I feel like my code base is in disarray and I get to the point where I feel dirty.

I was wondering if there are any books out there to help me improve my coding style to a more organised structure and also how to make it easier to understand for myself and others.

Thank you :)

I personally worked on five.

iOS Game - Harvey Vs TheBadBits: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/harvey-versus-thebadbits/id477710593?ls=1&mt=8%20%20

Sinatra App - eight - twitter magic 8 ball - eightapp.safetyscissors.co

Ruby Gem - Cloak: encrypted password storage - http://rubygems.org/gems/cloak

Rails app - Styylt: Style sharing app (Still working on it) - http://styy.lt

iOS Utility - StatusPad (Still working on it, well just waiting for iTunesConnect to come back) - News, Twitter, Schedule and Weather feed for the iPad.

What did you folks work on?

Hi everyone :)

I'm interested in creating a framework/API.

I was wondering if there are any books, references or advice that I could use as a starting point and things that I should keep in mind.

Thank you :)

Hi Everyone!

I have released my app to the AppStore called Harvey Vs TheBadBits. It kind of a clone of Super Crate Box but in an Atari Style. I didn't want to release an all out clone so I have decided to release the game for free and release the source.

So here it is:

Hi everyone!

I am a developer and I feel that I can't design myself out of a paperbag sometimes. I was wondering if there are any books or sites that I can look at to improve my UI design skills?

Thank you :)

Hi Everyone,

I was playing around and just wanted to learn about how to craft a ruby gem. So considering that I continually forget my host logins (don't we all...), so I decided to craft a gem to securely hold them. It uses the blowfish cipher to hold the data.

Here it is: https://rubygems.org/gems/cloak Here is the source: https://github.com/safetyscissors/Cloak

It is still kind of rough around the edges. Any feedback would be appreciated :) Test it out and give it a shot.

Hi Everyone, (I know this is a repost, but I had some dns issues with my last submission)

I created this as a small project last weekend (started on _whyday) just to flex some ruby muscle, learn some stuff about sinatra, oauth and the twitter api and also get into the spirit of the day.

So what it does is use your twitter followers and random people on twitter to answer your questions (bearing in mind that the syntax has to result in a yes or no question). So In effect they may or may-not know anything about you, so you just vote yes or no (kinda like facemash or hot-or-not but for questions). The user is then presented with a general yes or no, and then they can choose to see a more detailed tally.

I hope some of you peeps have some fun with it :) and as always any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

Whyday has come and gone and I was toying around with a simple app (I know its late, but what the hell). Eight is a social eight ball, which uses random people on twitter to answer your questions. Users either vote yes or no, or ask questions. I mostly used this app to learn about oauth and a bit of sinatra.

I hope you folks have some fun :)

Any feedback would be appreciated.
