It doesn't sit right with me to register real domain names for throwaway novelty stuff.

I miss the time when someone's single "homepage" domain would house the collection of all their hacks, both serious and novelty.

I don't know how GitHub legal would react to having their trademark in a domain name, but I have a feeling this might not last long.

(Disclosure: I received _many_ c&d in my former life for this kind of thing and I won't be doing it again.)

One of the rationale for distributed versioning systems was precisely to prevent things like this from happening. I find it a bit sad that we have reverted to the old, centralised workflow, mainly due to GitHub's omnipresence.

The source code is here: https://github.com/aapeliv/github-status-generator.com but it might be 404ing for you today, lol.

Excellent stuff. Impressively quick. One feature request: can each generated status stack up for maximum effect?

All done, I added multiple events. Let me know what you think.
