I'm Wouter van den Brink. I do stuff.

woutervdb··on Ask HN: Which song kicks the most code out of you?
I'm very sorry to admit that (happy) hardcore does it for me. The music sucks but I get awfully productive by listening to it on full volume on my headphones...
woutervdb··on Ask HN: Is it safe to drop CSS vendor prefixes?
This may sound awful, but I'm actually thinking of implementing them in the framework you're running (or the application "firewall"? Think a firewall/proxy that adds vendor prefixes based on your user agent. You write your CSS without them. Are there products that use this? How does it affect performance? I'm on an iPad right now so I don't really feel like Googling.
woutervdb··on Ask HN: What apps do you use to get stuff done (task management)
Not sure if it helps, but here's my workflow:

- Google Calendar for maintaining appointments; - A notepad (the paper version, yes) for quick notes, I use it to really "picture" the things I think/talk about; - A whiteboard as a to do list, and for when the notepad is too small;

As you can see, I use no apps at all. This is because I try to separate maintaining my workflow from the workflow itself, if you can follow me.

Personally, I think you should already have your downloads sorted by date, not alphabetically. No matter what the file is called, you can always just assume it's the first/last file in your downloads. I agree the filename should be changed though: latest.zip seems like something you send your friends to give a proof of concept.
woutervdb··on Are you affected by Adobe's hack?
The following question: should you give a f*ck?

As a hacker, I'm not even remotely interested in testing an amazing database of users on other websites. It's Adobe, so you've got your fair bit of users that know their stuff and have already changed their passwords everywhere. Adobe's target audience is developers and designers. Apart from the designers, we have a very small bit of audience which you can find on DeviantArt, who will merely use Adobe to make some mainstream artwork and gather likes. But then again, why would a Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/DeviantArt combo be of any interest for me as a hacker / evil guy?

I wasn't expecting this much traffic, so I didn't really care about server performance because it was irrelevant. I only posted it to my Facebook and Twitter, and now it has around 25 likes, I've been twittered by a guy with 4K followers and someone appears to have bloggd me. It's awesome, but very hard to keep it online. I may implement client-side JS in the near future. Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks! Glad to hear! Tonight (or at least the past couple of hours) was very stressful because the site was posted on HackerNews. You see, I'm hosting it on a Raspberry Pi so I had to work really hard to get the thing running smooth again...

Also, thanks for the suggestions! I may implement them sooner or later, I've got a lot of other projects to do...

Server is getting hotter and hotter, internet connection is getting slower and slower...
