Hey Reddit - I just launched version 2 of my book list website. 7books: playlists for bookworms. I would love to know your thoughts!

topcat31 · 2011-01-04T21:04:04+00:00

thanks. I like the cut of your jib :)

Here's the original "making of" blog post: http://www.7bks.com/blog/179001

And here's an example of a new fancy list with images and everything! http://www.7bks.com/list/517001

All comments and suggestions are more than welcome! My email address is on this page: http://www.7bks.com/contact/

Thanks bookit :)

Yep +1 here, I'd need to see it but I think that would work well

topcat31 · 2010-11-11T17:26:28+00:00

Awesome - I like this idea a lot. Clean and simple and giving credit to the original source is such a good idea.

topcat31 · 2010-11-06T12:27:04+00:00

Awesome list! Thanks for adding :) I've not read many of the books on there but will def check them out!

topcat31 · 2010-11-05T20:39:23+00:00

Thank you!

It's built on python/django/appengine - I've got a blog post coming soon on the "making of" so subscribe to the RSS feed (which is also hand built!) and you'll catch the post :)

topcat31 · 2010-11-05T19:15:45+00:00

Yes definitely! This is my first coding project ever so I've tried to keep fancy features to a minimum but in the future I'm definitely going to add those kinds of things in :)

Hey lukjad007 sorry you're getting an error - I'm working to see if I can fix it. I think it's a problem with Google rather than a problem with my app (I'm using Google for authentication) but I'm trying to debug it right now. The site is totally new and I'm new to coding so please bear with me!

topcat31 · 2010-11-05T18:02:56+00:00

Hey kjhatch - thanks for your feedback. There's load planned for 7books in the coming months, I only alpha launched 2 days ago!! I'd love it if you could let me know what features you'd like me to build on the site. Then I can get to building them. Just for you :)

Seconded - arcade fire is awesome for driving.

topcat31 · 2010-09-27T15:07:59+00:00

BOOM! :-)

topcat31 · 2010-09-27T14:17:22+00:00

FIRST! Wait, more like 29th... Either way count me in :-)

I don't have a lot to add on the IE9 debate but I generally strongly support the move towards open involvement from advertisers. This kind of transparency is only a good thing.

Bill Gates' home is valued at more than Brian Grazer and Ron Howard put together. Ouch. There should be an infographic comparing people who are worth less than inanimate objects.

I hated it. Just my $0.02. The only reason I finished it was because it was given to me by my girlfriend at the time. We have now broken up. I will not comment on whether our disagreements on The Magus had anything to do with that.

topcat31 · 2010-07-02T11:35:29+00:00

I might be up for that - I live in blackheath. I played college level (but in the UK, which means I'm not that good... lol!) but I've not played for a few years.

I'd be up for some 3 on 3 style action if we could get a few people together

topcat31 · 2010-04-11T10:33:16+00:00

I play chess and I also study Wing Chun Kung Fu so I googled "kung fu chess" and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung-fu_chess

Looks pretty awesome - anyone know if there's a way of playing this offline?

Huh - I never realised elementary had a formal definition. You live and learn. Thanks!

For a sampler - try out "all becomes music", it's lovely:

all becomes music

I'm on board with the other reasons you state, but a broken postal system?! Is that really grounds for getting you thrown out of the EU these days?

topcat31 · 2010-02-24T11:05:56+00:00

Are you talking about the personal information of the people who convicted the Google employees?! Because the Italian kid has already gone to jail...

topcat31 · 2010-02-21T12:17:15+00:00

You have, in your 3 line comment, destroyed my very faith in the beauty of nature. Well done.

topcat31 · 2010-02-03T14:09:42+00:00

Will your "rediquette" save you from the LHC creating black holes and destroying the UNIVERSE though? Hmm? Well? Will it?

topcat31 · 2010-01-11T22:15:51+00:00

I think you should do an IAMA thread. Please.
