Does someone know how did Aardvark got its first 10.000 users? How did it got traction?

It's so nice I do not have to worry about this when writing in python.

mcxx··on Ask HN: European Job Sites
Isn't Switzerland like the dullest, most boring country in the world?

mcxx··on Learning Advanced JavaScript
Yellow on black is the most visible combination of colors.
mcxx··on Ask HN: Best Unix Tricks?
I settled with C-z as it is easy and fast to type with one hand. However I am occasionally too fast and hit C-z z instead of C-z C-z. 'fg' solves this.
mcxx··on Ask HN: Best Unix Tricks?
I have just an alias for this (without the cd) in my ~/.bashrc:

  alias ..='cd ..'
  alias ...='cd ../..'
  alias ....='cd ../../..'
  alias .....='cd ../../../../'
mcxx··on Ask HN: Best Unix Tricks?
Yes, it is. I recommend remapping the standard C-a to C-z, as C-a acts as "jump to the beginning of line" in couple of shells, Emacs and Emacs clones.
mcxx··on A Javascript date library
What parts did you miss?
mcxx··on Why You Should Quit Your Job and Travel around the World
Travelling is anything but passive. I can't really explain why, but travelling along with reading are in my opinion best ways to learn.

I guess it's that you experience new cultures. You talk to people, you learn. You see how and why stuff is done differently, you learn. You also learn from your mistakes, you learn to adopt to current conditions with whatever resources you have for your disposal, you discover new tricks, etc.

mcxx··on Ask HN: Who is looking for a co-founder?
I'm looking for a graphic designer and/or sales guy and/or information architect, usability guy.

I'm a python and javascript hacker. I have a couple of ideas, but the one I'd like to persuade is real-time web analytics with understandable, beautiful presentation of data and statistics to the user. However I'm not insisting on this, I'll gladly discuss your ideas.

Interested? Let's talk; contact details are in my profile.

mcxx··on Nickb missing?
There has to be a great party somewhere. I guess nickb and _why are attending.
mcxx··on MongoDB 0.9.9 Released
I read that. How is the master-master replication working for you? Also, why didn't you rather do shrading and replication considering m-m replication is experimental?
mcxx··on MongoDB 0.9.9 Released
Is anyone here using/considering MongoDB? I'm want to try it out on a new project I'm starting, a real-time web analytics app. Should be fun.
mcxx··on Ask HN: Review IGF, a site to find co-founders and stay motivated
How exactly did that happen?

mcxx··on Ask HN: Where do you live?
Brno, Czech Rep.
mcxx··on Why Jinja is not Django and why Django should have a look at it
Also, you can't have multiple inheritance with Jinja2. That's a showstopper for me.
mcxx··on Please tell us what features you'd like in news.ycombinator
I submitted the Ubuntu 9.04 story today, but the first link I tried to submit was already in the system, from when 7.04 came out. It will really be a problem to submit a link when 9.10 will be available, because it seems all 'good links' were already added. Can there be a recyclation system for links?
