- SteelChicken, on 10/12/2007, -4/+35quantity over quality, for the win.
you wanna be a jedi and impress me? write one good application that makes you a ton of money and makes other peoples lives more efficient. - davidepaula, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22College students, submit your project assignment fast. It may work :)
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -4/+23Yeah clicking that technology tab takes alot out of me, too. Phew!
- Locuester, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20I'm not sure they can keep up with the rate I'm going to do this at. I'd have to prepare beforehand. And since I'm not too familiar with sourceforge, it's probably a bad idea to try that now.
Most likely I'll just provide ZIPs for all binaries and code. - anomie, on 10/12/2007, -16/+30In other news, 30 buggy VB apps released to download.com. More at 6.
- skipjacker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Will you be checking the code into sourceforge?
- MDuquette, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Who is measuring quality :) (HA!)
- snurfle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Why? The five billion flavours we have now aren't enough?
- ScottCher, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15Well, I thought it was a wonderful story. And he told it so well and with such enthusiasm.
- nsubramanian, on 10/12/2007, -2/+131 ERP, 1 CRM, 1 Contract Management and 1 Mobile dispatch application please
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11how about write a linux device driver for a state-of-the-art device every day? i think that would do more good for the community than more distros..
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15i'm also rolling on floor laughing my arse off... probably not as enthusiasticly, though.. hence the lower case letters..
- lsandberg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Writing a program to solve the travelling salesman problem isn't particulary difficult. the hard part is making sure that it exits within your lifetime.
- Locuester, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Ouch!
Personal attacks like this on digg are pretty rare. Shame, shame.
I assume your father had hobbies and a career when you were growing up, no? - Locuester, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Image resizer, consider it done
- ThirdPrize, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11How about helping out on vista? I hear they need it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+19Please code a new version of Minesweeper. I love that game.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11photoshop is neither open source nor free...
also.. photoshop's batch process probably isn't easy enough for this knuckehead - wayhomer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Does "Hello World!" count as an application?
- lowerlogic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11May the source be with you.
- gkoberger, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12There are a lot of really useful, small apps that people could really benefit from. Don't expect applications that will set the world on fire- they will mostly be a bunch of little tweaks that add small features. So, I think this is a great idea.
Small apps can be finished in a day, and have both quality and quanity. - snurfle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Travelling salesman problem.
One day.
Ready,
go!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem - chesterjosiah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11I'll take a nap a day for 30 days.
*ducks* - Locuester, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13ROFLMAO
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9That technology already exists but it'll cost you considerably more than $10. It's called a wife.
- JohnboiWaltune, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9No way, I want an easier way to get pr0n and DivX's off of Usenet.
- pkkid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8An easy to use batch image resizer, everything available now is crap.. and not easy to use, drag and drop would be nice. :)
- arduenn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Photoshop is a 400-Mib batch image resizer. I'm pretty sure this guy will produce one much less bloated.
- diecastbeatdown, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11forrest gump wr0cks.
but seriously. this is way lame. i'll write 30 apps right now and be done in a few hours. they may suck though so don't expect anything special. - spliznork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.org. The project started in 1990 and is still very, very active.
- technique, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Write an app that senses my head or eye movement via a standard webcam so I can control my mouse cursor w/o moving my hands from my keyboard. And change the CAPSLOCK key into a left-click and right ALT key to right-click so I can click either mouse button w/o moving hands from my keyboard.
- briantech, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8This, ladies and gentlemen, I would pay for.
- technique, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Save as .bat:
format C: - k0sty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6i for one, would like him to write me an application that will tell me if a progam p will eventually halt when presented with input x.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8How about an app that automatically diggs down posts containing certain words, phrases or by certain authors? Oh, wait, then I'd never be seen ever again.
Scratch that, just thinking out loud. - lpcustom, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7You're a developer who is going to write 30 apps in the next 30 days and make them open source and you don't know about sourceforge?
- acowx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Application to disable the camera device on windows mobile 5 platform for us corporate types (generic please, not platform dependent)
- ePlus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Quality not quantity...
- sunburnt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4... and taking into account the price of gas required to complete the trip. At the end what we have here is a Traveling Sales Person solution requested in an earlier post.
- BlueLaser, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@gkoberger
Don't be so quick to think that "small apps" can be finished in a day with high quality. The devil is in the details, and many "small apps" actually take quite a while to perfect and make useful.
I'd be happier to see this guy make 15 apps in 30 days and spend at least one day refining, testing, and polishing each little utility so people could actually download and use them without major headaches. But a good headline testing does not make. =) - Julikaefer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5No. 30 buggy device drivers won't help anyone. Device drivers are loaded as kernel modules so they need to be really stable. You can't do that in one day.
- duster, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6A nap a day sounds like it would make for a better month.
- allenu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Brilliant. This is a great way to get publicity for yourself.
- cdlavalle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Serious suggestion....and let me know if I am missing well known apps (free and open source, preferably).
1) Log Parser that allows me to specify start and end strings and/or a certain number of lines or minutes around a desired string.
2) generalized graphical XML navigator (not really a lightweight app but oh well).
3) same as above except specialized for the @#$# Apache config files. Comanche is a pain
4) Easily configurable program that will go through my e-mail and send an SMS to my phone if a certain string is detected, esp. in the subject line.
5) A SuSE Repository collector bot.
6)A stock trader that follows an aggregate of U.S. Senators securities trades. (Just kidding about that one, but it would be nice!)
7) A good open source UML Eclipse Plug-in (just another pipe dream). - gmillerd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3First application would be a bug tracker for sure, he will need one.
- Locuester, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Or I can make 30, pick the best 10, and refine over time, no? Sort of an accelerated proof of concept development model.
- Locuester, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8I will impress you.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8i need a widget that can read digg comments, identify which ones are moronic, and automatically bury them... :-)
- adizzle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4i got it ;-)
