rrrhys··on Show HN: Bug tracker I'm building for web devs & designers
First thought was 'oh good, another bug tracker...'

I've watched the intro video and you now have my interest, looks awesome :)

rrrhys··on Ninite Easy PC Setup - Silent Unattended Install Multiple Programs At Once
This was my favourite resource for a fresh install about a year ago, and then I forgot it existed :(
rrrhys··on Ask HN: Which language would you learn this year?
Objective C for me.

It's not 'new new' in a sense that I use C# regularly enough, but it is new enough that I can get lost in it without being demoralised (so far..)

rrrhys··on Sometimes it pays to pay your web designer
It is inappropriate, and I'd never do it, but it never would have happened if the chiropractor paid their bills.

I can't imagine the particular designer will hurt for doing it - its not like his contact details are stamped on it.

If he does great work and it's what I need I'd use him, since I make a habit of paying my bills.

rrrhys··on Poll: What was the first programming language you learned?
Visual Basic :|
rrrhys··on Tools for startups along their lifetime
If anybody could recommend a good book of this sort I'd be very interested.

Just lightweight, 'IANAL' good guidelines for young businesses.

rrrhys··on Tools for startups along their lifetime
Something looks very wrong with it, chrome 10.0.612.3 dev on win XP.
rrrhys··on Tableau Software removes WikiLeaks, users cry foul
This is ridiculous - I hope Tableau feels the error in their ways and customers vote with their feet.
rrrhys··on Ask HN: After years at BigCo I feel like I'm becoming unemployable. Now what?
Write a story about each of the projects you have worked on.. The problems, the discussions, the plan of attack and the outcome, cost savings for the company, technology used. As though they were all separate consulting jobs.

Take out company names and specifics.

Have an objective look at what you have done and assess it again, because now you've taken the emotion out of it ('repeatedly thrashing' etc) and you are left with cold and useful facts about your projects.

You then have a portfolio that you can show new potential employers. I am in a similar situation and am currently doing the same.

rrrhys··on VB Goes Mobile: Announcing “Visual Basic for Windows Phone Developer Tools - RTW
For the love of god, let it die?
rrrhys··on [dead]
They haven't rolled over. They've bowed out of an argument that is very risky to have a public viewpoint on.

There are some influential people carrying big agendas here and I think Amazon doesn't want to be in the gunsights. Maybe it isn't noble, but I think they are entitled to steer clear.

It is very likely that privately they agree with WikiLeaks' cause. Hedging your brand on it is a different story.

HOWEVER it would have been fantastic to see them make a stand.

rrrhys··on Thanks HN: Goodbye, Golden Handcuffs
Best of luck, very envious over here!

Do you have a blog?

rrrhys··on Ask HN: What would you do with 6 months of free time?
Set a deadline (maybe 6 weeks) and finish a side-project I have going on - While still in 'work mode'. It frustrates me sitting around at my day job and then scrambling to work on it in free time/travel time.

I'd love to get up, get ready in the morning, (go somewhere, ideally) and do 8 hours of MY work a day.

rrrhys··on Startup Ideas Every Nerd Has (That Never Work)
How about the best to do list ever!
rrrhys··on Ask HN: Why does no one talk about working or interviewing for Apple?
#DIV/0!
rrrhys··on $10,000 algorithm competition: predict commute times on a Sydney freeway
Here is your $10,000
rrrhys··on $10,000 algorithm competition: predict commute times on a Sydney freeway
Being from Sydney, I was amazed to see you guys have solved this particular problem on your motorways (time to destination based on traffic).

Is it good? I was just roadtripping through.

rrrhys··on $10,000 algorithm competition: predict commute times on a Sydney freeway
A tollbooth was taken off this road about 3-4 months ago that was a major congestion point - 2 years of historical data is largely useless I think.
rrrhys··on After months of work I've launched my startup. Any critiques?
I think its fine, it made me picture dropping it in my pages.

But maybe it doesn't work from the PHB point of view.

rrrhys··on Wherein I help you get a good job
No - I've got enough shit to do that I haven't really made time to give my effort to someone elses project. Maybe this is why.
rrrhys··on Wherein I help you get a good job
I've never contributed to open source before - this might be just enough of a 'its easy just do it - like this' type tutorial to get me started.
rrrhys··on What a Hundred Million Calls to 311 Reveal About New York
Why do complaints for streetlights go up at noon?
rrrhys··on I need DEV for design collab & feedback webapp, already got more than 450members
I'd be happy if mine looked anything like that :)
rrrhys··on "Rate My Startup" Post Policy
Thats why I took HN out of my RSS reader!
rrrhys··on Ask HN: A cheap netbook for development?
I have a HP mini 5102, and spend 3 hours a day on it doing web dev - I find it awesome. Resolution is 1366x768 so you don't get too squashed in. It has 3G built in as well and the battery life is safe for probably 5 hours (meant to be 8 maybe) The keyboard is almost natural size, and it has enough grunt to keep a few things open (lets not kid ourselves, but it does better than I expected).
