pitzips··on A free cookbook for people living on $4/day
So awesome! Would love for there to be an option to pay what you want for the PDF. I wouldn't mind giving a couple bucks if you offered the options.

It's a Chrome Extension
pitzips··on Poll: Do you actually use the product you are working on?
Getting an ssl error for your site.
pitzips··on Show HN: Ridiculously cheap bulk geocoding
Would love if you could get integrated into http://www.rubygeocoder.com/ - That would make my switch much easier. Would love to support you guys.
pitzips··on Ask HN: Where do you spend Bitcoins?
I implemented BTC checkout with giftcardzen.com (We sell discounted gift cards to all major retailers) To be honest, working with coinbase was lackluster. One ridiculous thing that coinbase did, was delete the post back url if they didn't receive a 200 response. So, if the site happened to be down for 1 minute when it posted...the subsequent posts would just go into a void.

Other than that, make sure you have some BTC pre-purchased in the event you need to do an equivalent of a refund. The BTC that comes in through checkout, can not be used if the customer needs that BTC back.

Don't you dare touch yahoo pipes, Yahoo.
pitzips··on The Ruby on Rails Tutorial for Rails 4.0 (beta)
Just started learning rails last week, and I have say Michael, you have been a huge key part of that. My boss thanks you for speeding up my learning process. Your book actually just arrived today.

Anyone trying to learn RoR, use this guy's tutorial - promise you won't regret it!

pitzips··on Attention CTOs: Culture Matters
Fairly certain he means it as "be in the same room", "be present", "don't be in your high and mighty office". It's a phrase that doesn't actually mean shouting.
pitzips··on TechStars Graduate DigitalOcean Switches To SSD For Its $5 Per Month VPS
I get a 404 everytime I try to update my hostname entries. "Oh no! It seems the page you were looking for has been eaten by Sammy."
pitzips··on TechStars Graduate DigitalOcean Switches To SSD For Its $5 Per Month VPS
It looks like you use it when you refill the account. Just used it to add $5 to the account and it worked. I'm impressed.
pitzips··on Why do you need a Smartphone?
To add to that, the cycling lanes on google maps help me not die by staying on safe roads.
pitzips··on Ask HN: How do you Backup your Personal Files?
- Dropbox for documents and archived log files.

- Photos and videos are backed up to a truecrypt drive manually using FreeFileSync twice a week or so.

- Backblaze running constantly.

- Pogoplug (+1 external drive attached) offsite at my parents house with archlinux installed. Eventually I'll attach another drive and have rsync mirroring them using a cron job.

pitzips··on GIT is the new FTP
Here is the same principle, but better documented: http://www.saintsjd.com/2011/03/automated-deployment-of-word...
pitzips··on Amazon S3 - 905 Billion Objects and 650,000 Requests/Second
I think the Q4 columns are simply stating "at the end of Q4 this is what our number was"

Because Q4 of 2012 has not happened yet, we can't mark a number on the graph, so Q1 which has finished is the best we can do for this year.

That's my understanding of it.

pitzips··on CyanogenMod hits funding target in less than 24 hours
They just had to ask. A plea may have raised more awareness, but that's a pretty great community. A couple thousand to raise should be nothing.

+1 for the ability to select only vegan options.
