geekytenny··on One Year After Quitting My Job
I need a domain how do i reach you?
geekytenny··on Why I'm working for the man and not doing a startup
There is no stability anywhere. Big business fear startups. Startups may be worried of big businesses or competitors, Employees may be fired...it is just the way the world works.....
geekytenny··on Ask HN: Computer science for the self taught programmer
hackershelf.com is a good place to source for hacker books, most of them are free.
geekytenny··on Show HN: Our Startup Weekend Project
Really lovely UI. But was wondering why the title "Dropsend" seems not aligned with the rest of the page content.
geekytenny··on Poll: What are your prime hacking hours?
The thought of being interrupted doesn't make me want to start hacking complex stuff. When they are all gone you can do the impossible....
geekytenny··on One Story of Nikola Tesla
Be a Tesla and hire an Edison
geekytenny··on Ask HN: What are the best programming books for someone in prison?

geekytenny··on Should I write a thank-you letter for a first-round technical phone interview?
experiences will vary, so I'd just ask you to follow your heart on this issue.
geekytenny··on Ask HN: How do you choose your weekend projects?
All software couldn't possibly work perfectly for you....? So fix a problem you have or one you think you will have soon. Alternatively, go have a chat with a prof or business person or whoever and ask them what problems they would like solved.
geekytenny··on Looking for advice on finding your own way
Hi, You are in the right place on HN. I d suggest you get rid of the anxiety. As tech people we have the ability to create stuff that other 'mere mortals' find amazing and useful. You should think about that more.. not just that but find a problem and solve it. About being your own man it starts from within you and is not just something that happens to you. If you started a business you'd depend on your clients. As Ceo you are answerable to the board- they'd be hoping you dont screw things up. So it never ends.. things important to us will always be in the hands of others- also we need to give them what is important to them by solving problems. You are free first from within!! Good luck!!
geekytenny··on Ubuntu: Wake up and smell the Unity against you
IMHO, Unity is a work in progress. It definitely requires more resources to run than other environments and it requires some getting used to. I miss the good old task-bar for quick switching instead of moving the cursor to the extreme left waiting for the tab to slide in, clicking the appropriate icon which may then load an undesired window if the sought application is running more than one instance. I tried 'mousing over' the topmost left corner too.. it is also slow. However, unity is clean. It just hasn't figured out how we want to do what we want or who we are.
geekytenny··on The original Javascript impl was written in Lisp
The individual files are good to read, but are there any links to .tar or .zip of all the files? I have looked and didn't find any....
geekytenny··on What's the one Linux command you wish you knew years ago?
This is useful for finding and killing a process.

ps -A | grep some text in program name

upon getting the pid

kill -9 pid

geekytenny··on New Stanford class on Cryptography
IMHO, there is an illusion that i understand stuff just by watching a video. i don't know how much of a noob i still am until exercises and midterms. The stanford model should be emulated...seriously.
geekytenny··on New Stanford class on Cryptography
Way to go Stanford. You guys just keep blowing our minds. After all the stuff i learned for free in just 4 weeks of the current classes, i am filled with gratitude! I highly recommend these classes..
geekytenny··on OS.js (JavaScript Operating System)
It is very responsive. Great job! Would most def. want source code.

PS: typo in http://osjs.0o.no/help.php line 4 or so.

geekytenny··on Cool Android Watch by Italian Startup
The website and video remind me of apple...Maybe because of the theme.

The device is cool, but i don't think it should try to do too many things....

How do you get input conveniently into say your facebook status update? Smartphones themselves with much wider screens could be trouble typing in...

geekytenny··on Ask HN: How do I download a website for offline viewing?
wget -r http://the_site_you_want
geekytenny··on Ask HN: please review RentMethod
Beautiful UI
geekytenny··on Every October, Write a Lisp Interpreter In C
Do you think they would want us to spend our 'Octobers' reinventing things they built or for us to take their works in computing to greater heights?

geekytenny··on Ask HN: Linux on Windows?
>need to be able to do my work on windows but would like to have a unix terminal around in the background.

I am running ubuntu now this way. But you have to be either in the ubuntu environment or the windows one....not both.

However http://www.andlinux.org/ should solve this.

geekytenny··on Ask HN: Does anybody code during their commute?
Once i typed a document on a bus on my android phone. Laptops wud feel awkward for me and probably hurt my neck. If there was a good IDE app (for android) on which i could hack a lil python i probably wud....most text editors i have tried are not so good. That said, i think commute time is great for mash ups, and reading stuff: documentation, books etc.
