Thanks!! Yes, I have planned a couple more. The code is not obfuscated, so you can have a look that them. It's heavily based on my audio-experiments which are open sourced here https://github.com/homecoded/js-synth

Here is a thing I built a while back: An 'HTML to 8-Bit-music' converter. This transforms a URL to a Bytebeat formula and uses the HTML of the page behind the URL as input. http://lazerbahn.com/soundof.html?url=htt

The news ticker at heute.de was pretty sure about it, saying there are two holes each eight square meters in size in reactor 4. Of course I can't say how much truth lies in that statement.

Making things simpler on the net is probably a good thing. I'm worried though about what will happen when the same bad programmers who make mem-leaking and performance consuming flash ads now will jump on the JavaScript train. Flash is in a

Good point. But: The library records will have an actual eye witness, though. In that case a real person can confirm that the 'bad guy' got the book personally. That is not the case with online search. The problem I see is that it makes peo

This is completely weird! Worst of all: 45 gardeners and no garden? Brilliant! I'd really like to hear their explanation of how these people ended up on their pay-roll. Maybe they all made offers the hospital could not refuse?

I don't really see a problem here. I think your are on a great path. Well, talk to them. Just don't do something you don't feel like doing. If you want to open-source your stuff do it. Put it under a business-friendly license and there shou

There were two websites that really impressed me: apple.com and amazon.com. Amazon has hardly changed. Wow, it already looked great back then! And Apple ... um ... really has gone a long way in design since then. Phew, that Apple page was u

We actually talked about this today in our team since we are trying to find a good name for the new company we are about to form. We decided against hyphens mostly because we thought it's 'just not cool'. There are other things to consider.

I admire your dedication! You don't have too much to lose, but a lot knowledge to gain. Your bootstrapped approach is great and your time-frame reasonable for a smaller project. Good luck! If I should ever do a start-up again, I'll go for b

Ok, it's working now. I like the idea and the sound is pretty good. Most free synthetic keyboards you can get (as in Vst plugins) sound worse. Good job! Unfortunately, I seem to have terrible latency problems in Chrome and Firefox. I also d

I loved Lemmings. Is used to write the level codes on little post-it notes and stuck them all around me. After a few days my room looked like Mr. Nash's garage in 'A Beautiful Mind'.

What is it that you don't like being a software developer?It is kind of hard to completely do something else. I have questioned my being a software developer also in the past. I seriously thought about going back to university to become a t

You can always try an NDA. It won't keep anyone from stealing but with a bit of luck you have a bit more meat if you want to take legal actions after someone stole your idea. In the end, it boils down to "an idea isn't much worth. It's the

I totally agree! I'd even go one step further and say that you'll be "overworked and underpaid" even at your own start-up. I just had that. No fun! Right now I am going back to a regular day job. And I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm

I'd say this is about right. Even mobile devices have great JavaScript abilities nowadays. Think Android or iPhone. I am still using an ancient Sony Ericsson with Opera Mini and JavaScript works surprisingly well. Besides, I like you attitu

Mhh, not really but that's just me. The email folder works great for me. As I said: The effort of keeping track of my online purchases is not huge. So, another tool is really not necessary. Again, that's just me. ;-)

Well, it crashes Safari on my iPod Touch 2G. I was curious so I looked at the code. IMHO there are only two possibilities: (a) It's the css-font-definition-stuff they're doing (b) google analytics script is causing the problem Actually, I d

Mhh ... I move all confirmation emails from online purchases in a separate folder on my IMAP. So, I always have a list of all purchases I've made, ordered by date. I don't buy that much stuff online so keeping track using that list usually
