Not even two months since we hit 40k and already we’re up to 50k! This is the result of an average ~180 signups/day over the last 50 days, and bodes well for 2012.
Congratulations Ben, ****, and Nithya! Our efforts are paying off.
Here’s a list of stuff it seems like Siri, the voice interface on Apple’s iOS 5, should be able to do but can’t as of 2011-10-24.
- “Reboot my phone” — Fails to do anything; perhaps rebooting isn’t as common here as it is with Android.
- “Call X on Skype” — Tries to call using the phone app, not Skype.
I’m sure I’ll have some more things to add here eventually.
It’s interesting that, after Paul Graham rejected camelcamelcamel’s Y Combinator application based on our desire to keep our day jobs (which we later quit), YC funded shopobot (a site that provides the same functionality as C3.) Even more interesting is that, just over a year after we pitched to Google Ventures, shopobot received funding from them.
*Tries not to be a sore loser.*
Update: It turns out that YC didn’t fund shopobot, but actually chose not to invest after their in-person pitch. My mistake!
Today camelcamelcamel and co. reached the 30,000 registered users milestone. It’s been a long, fun ride (over 3 years) and things show no sign of slowing down. Hooray for camels!

I bought it new and have been adding miles whenever possible, with the majority being highway / long distance and the rest ridden around town.

Pearl Jam has a ton of untitled songs, usually improvs that Ed works in before MFC or at the end of Daughter. This one was nestled between Not for You and Corduroy at their show at The Gorge in 2005, and is easily one of my favorite unofficial PJ songs.

Enjoy!
Trying to get MySQL running under CentOS and SELinux? Try disabling the latter, or doing the following to allow MySQL to startup with access to precious system files:
1) install selinux-policy-targeted-sources from your OS vendor
2) add the following two lines to /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/domains/program/mysqld.te:
allow mysqld_t random_device_t:chr_file read;
allow mysqld_t urandom_device_t:chr_file read;
3) cd to /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy and issue the following command:
make load
Worked for me!
Ever work with Airplay SDK or just your own bit of code and run into this error message? If so, you probably have a casting error (of omission) on the line given by MSVC’s error log. Try explicitly casting everything and recompile!
Edit: Basically, warnings are treated as errors (duh), so make sure you are abiding by the strictness of your compiler regarding casting and other problems.
