I'm honestly thinking of starting to use it as Richard Stallman would. Voted for HNsite, which I also check on my phone.

havn't yet looked at Haskell much, but I had a look at the quick start and it's really well written. The website is one of the cleanest I've seen for a framework in a while, well done on the design!

I'm guessing the same applies for C#, does anyone know if there are language supported features for lists like the new java ones for C#?

Thanks! This is such a great tool :D

Very cool, is it missing the seleced text colour?

Interesting choice of engine, a turbo fed into a carburetor.

I was wondering the same thing

I agree, for formal occasions (a pre arranged meal with friends) this is perfect. Though it may be best as an iphone app where the phone can be passed around and everyone deducts their own meal. How do yo u know who ordered what?

For a night out it seems a bit too formal.

would you be able to email the script to me? was always a fan of fedoras changing background (based on time of day) but this seems more useful.

Interesting, I didn't know that. I've always preferred the same.

work: Windows / Java / SQL / Emacs / Eclipse / JDeveloper / SQL Plus/ SQL Developer

home MacOSX(laptop) / python / ruby / emacs

home Fedora Linux / python / ruby / emacs

I'd like to give the emacs/clojure thing a try sometime.

I re-read it a few days ago and thought I'd see what discussion the essay had. Was surprised to find no mention on searchyc.com. Was very surprised to see it posted today :)

Pretty good summary I thought.

Good that the control key is in the correct place but think I'd rather just have one of these: http://www.sun.com/desktop/products/peripherals/keyboard/

Gives me an excuse to ask something I've wanted to ask for awhile: Is Lenovo _that_ bad? I love my Thinkpad but it needs upgrading. Is Lenovo worth getting these days?

I've you're not sure, IMO, install Django and follow their tutorial. Pythons a great language, Djangos a great framework, projects can be hosted for free on Google app engine and the Django documentation is excellent.

Sorry, I was referring to the twitter exporters :)

Don't use it anymore, but used it for a while to follow some people im interested in as well as a quick jott padd for remembering links or looking back on. For the later I found the sites that pdf your history very useful.

desktop (tends to be on 24/7) and laptop. One for music and movies one for work.

Fedora on my media machine, Fedora on my laptop. My next laptop OS is very likely to be OSX though.

Until I move I've only really had a bedroom to work with: standing desk with media pc, stereo amp on bedside table and a few lamps on the floor so far! Looking for ideas for the next place.

As did I :) , I also ran a southpark site but stopped updating because I was just linking to other peoples content (with credit). Looking back I wished I added votes, called it an aggregator and gone for the win :D

no, there is one which shows a breakdown by day and week - think it may have been someones weekend project.

How long did you run the test for? The reason I ask is I pay monthly for backpack (37signals) and after 4 months I'm considering a yearly plan. 37signals offer a lump sum option which to me is an even better option.

tl;dr: New signups may like the yearly plan after a few months, and lump sum payments (maby with varied discounts) may be something to consider.

I ended up doing it my own way using external javascripts :) it's amazing how you approach things when you are completely isolated from what everyone else is doing!

I remember thinking frames were the best thing for navigation because you only needed to keep the one file updated, I didnt even know about server side includes back then :) css came a few years later too.

No idea why this was downvoted. Intranet DASHBOARD is very good solution if you are looking at Sharepoint syle features.

I'll jump in the queue! maplambda [at] gmail _dot_ _com_

Started using backpack from 37signals and have found myself using it all the time - now a very important part of my workflow. Granted it has many downsides but for now its working great!

works well but it's handy to save something you don't want upvoted.
