There's a typo on your home page:

"Stackfield offers you a selection of tools that every team needs to get the dayly work done."

Dayly should be daily.

Also cool post!

I really like that idea, it would give the user a sense of how much they use it over time.

I've found ublock to be the best for both chrome and firefox. Take up much less cpu than adblockplus.

I wouldn't say it's a sad state of affairs.

- ASOS is the Amazon of clothing, shipping internationally. I think it's the number on online clothing retailer in Australia.

- As much as we all hate Wonga, in terms of technology they we're the first fully automated loans company.

- Just Eat (exactly the same as Seemless for the UK) is also an amazing accomplishment for a company/website, uniting thousands of takeaways. (That's what we can to-go restaurants in the UK).

I'm fairly proud we have some huge ($15 billion dollar) home-grown companies in these areas (even if Wonga is evil).

We're the UK-side of the office and we have guy called Craig. (Rhymes with plague/vague.)

All of the USA-side pronounce it Krr-egg. Even after I've explained the difference to a group of them, it still goes back to Krr-egg after a week.

I'm Sean, which American's don't have a problem with at all, but I if I had a bitcoin for every-time I was called 'seen' in the UK...

I can't remember where I read this but the font they write on the roads (at least in the UK) when looked at straight-on seems unusually tall, but when viewed from the steep angle of a car it looks normal sized.

I would guess the same is true with these numbers, when a pilot is taxing around the runway the font won't look as tall because of the extreme angle of viewing from the cockpit.

It's like their annual conference for developers. Like Apple's WWDC. Or Microsoft's... (not sure what it's called).

I love the name F8. It's a great play on words.

First of all. This looks like great game (after reading the description on there), I'll be downloading.

You may want to put a description of the gameplay on the site. I was only compelled to buy it after the video + gameplay instructions.

Secondly, this is hugely inspirational.

Can I ask how you taught yourself OpenGL?
