@Damien I was told the same thing.

well, yes, to me as well! But not on the post I linked to, to me at least. Weird. Some kind of edge case.

actually "server" IS recognized as a tag (only to me?)

I was taught IPDE, identify, predict, determine, execute. identify other cars on the road, predict what they will do, determine what you need to do in response, and execute when necessary.

Thank you.
Hm. It strikes me as interesting that planning is something that I've trained more or less to get rid of in martial arts. Conscious mind ("narrator mind" in house parlance) honestly isn't much good at complex reactions at speed.

Cheers, I meant the border images (using an image to define a custom border) but that's a useful tool.

hey, great insturments, respect for your work! I always don't know whether the corners are too rounded or not but luckily this is not part of my job ;) Anyway, in case you haven't used it here you can quickly test the corners looks: http://border-radius.com/

As far as I can determine, there isn't any documentation for the API, because it’s all alpha at this stage. Basically the person who wanted to do cubbi.es got enough of an API to do that and that's it.
More worryingly, the API doesn’t interact with the federation at all, so that apps are centralised and not federated (unless they do their own federation). If centralised apps become the norm and end up including some important functionality (and the devs do want to keep the core lean), it could substantially undermine the whole point of diaspora. Not sure what I can do to improve that, though.

Close! It's an impedance matcher for plugging electric instruments and microphones into iOS devices.

I'll guess it's got some resistors, capacitors, and inductors in it and introduces electrical impedance into the circuit.

A simple search on the Web shows French-speakers themselves until now aren't generally agreeing to use it that way. Myself, I have never yet. As for decades ago, both uses remain up to 2000. Since then, history remains to be seen for it to become of any significant usage. The form e.g. 'dix-neuf cent cinquante' is widespread when talking about history and tends to be used more while getting older - quite curiously. For 'vingt-cents' = 2000, it's not yet been accepted as natural by French-speakers. Probably because a sense of styling, linked with history and oldening. While the years are not far off, they're said the more modern and rational manner. Wouldn't it be the same, though in English? English-speakers have only recently felt a need to protect their language as has been an habit since long for French. http://teacherweb.com/MA/WatertownHigh/MrsHayes/NUMBERS-revised.pdf http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nombres_en_français#Centaines_vig.C3.A9simales

Thanks for the clarification guys + gals :) Funny how things sound 'right' or 'wrong', isn't it? I wonder why…

@TakiCardie - thanks - you can tell I don't drink the stuff myself.

I'm interested about it too.

It does look pretty good. I would be tweaking the UI if I was going to use it — particularly on the address book, I think. But overall quite well done.

I'm a happy user of owncloud. Currently it offers a solid experience on hosting for personal files and public/restricted sharing of files. Other features like music player, PIM features are still a inmature from my point of view. But I'm very happy with it!!

Perhaps, but in terms of energy usage per user, I'm willing to bet that iCloud is more energy efficient than if each of those millions of users was to set up their own server. Even if each family/whatever did it, there is still an advantage to real 'cloud' clouds.
With the advent of the Raspberry Pi that could change, however. Which is one of the reasons I'm looking at personal cloud servers. Bring on the Pi in the Sky! :)
