neiled··on Ask HN: Finding a designer partner for side projects
Thanks for this reply, appreciated.

I think you're absolutely right that an in-person meetup would definitely help build that level of trust; it's something I'll do as soon as possible.

I did, consciously, refrain from putting a link to the project I'm working on now because I didn't want to limit this 'partnership' to one specific idea (and to be honest I'm not sure the idea is really profitable at all, it's just a good start->finish app for me to learn some iOS features at the moment) but I do understand the need to be passionate about whatever it is that we’d both be working on.

Thanks for the suggestions on how to present the parnership, I definitely am not trying to get a 'freebie' from someone and I'll make sure that's clear with whoever I speak to.

I'll have a think about how I can show a past 'portfolio' of some description too, I really should update my personal website anyway and I can add links etc. then.

Thanks again and best wishes to you.

Very cool, slightly buffering on my system but love the idea.
neiled··on Zerg Rush Google Easter Egg
I wonder how Google deal with all these little easter eggs from a code perspective. It's pretty impressive that they can add so much extra to a particular search term without it affecting the overall code quality.
neiled··on Quote Stream - Push real-time stock quotes in JSON over web-sockets with node.js
But, and correct me if I'm wrong obviously, this isn't sending quotes to the client real time, it's just sending them in 5 second batches?

I guess I'm struggling to see how:

"Stock quotes are pulled from Google Finance and are real-time."

and

"By default stock quotes are fetched every 5 seconds, and pushed to the client."

Work together...

Great work on sharing the code though, thanks.

neiled··on How to increase productivity per square inch of your screen
I'm using 3 monitors on my Mac Pro and feel slightly less productive when I move to my Air. With the three monitors I have one full screen terminal session running tmux, one monitor split between a web browser and a http monitor (charles) and the last one seems to get used for either spotify, email, another web browser session or something else.

Mainly I think the ability to see multiple different things interacting at the same time can be quite useful. If the entire point of having one screen is just so that you can't see your twitter client then maybe closing the twitter client and using that space for a useful tool would make you even more productive than just hiding the twitter client alone?

neiled··on Show HN: Trello for startup name searches. After-work project.
I guess it's more confusing because your page title is domainer and your domain is domiy :)

Actually they have found some references to something... not sure if it's related to tomorrow though. Time will tell!

neiled··on Ask HN: Help me understand online payment gateways
Off topic: I always wondered how to put a 'smiley' inside of brackets, I never considered making it face the other way around. Genius!
neiled··on Help HN: Want to build small web app for learning and side income.
Just to also mention heroku is free too until you use 5MB of database size, which is great for getting it out there, and depending on your type of site 5MB might get you quite a way.
