Who else is hacking a project instead of watching the Super Bowl?
I'm curious to poll the HN community to see who is working instead of watching the Super Bowl?
Also I'm watching my website traffic do this:
Perhaps you could put at least some sort of teaser on the homepage as to what problem you might be solving or at least some clue as to the problem space.
I've been inspired most by Reddit (thanks again jedberg), but Yak is more playful, flirty, and local.
If you pass an invite code, I'll be glad to play with it and report bugs I run in to. My email is in my profile.
And if by "writing my senior thesis," you mean, going onto HN instead, then double-yes!
I was happy that the Bears lost a few weeks ago because it means I have another year to be able to walk around in my neighborhood without being hit by drunk drivers. (I live right by soldier field, and it seems they don't let you drive away from it unless you are utterly tanked. Someone ran a red light and was inches away from hitting a baby in a stroller. What the fuck.)
Reference: Montreal.
So true.
There are worlds out there where the skies are burning, where the seas asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke, and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice...and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on Ace...we've got work to do!
Oh well, maybe next time...

I also think it's hilarious how so many techies love to brag about not caring about football. I'd have thought that hackers would enjoy the complexity of the game (most of the programmers I know love football, and meeting up for beers on football Sundays is a ritual for us).
Personally, I like to hack and I hold football season tickets.
Also, maybe if anybody ever scored in soccer it would be a little more interesting. At least hockey has better fights and the players don't fall down so much.
That's not to say I don't enjoy watching it (especially being a Wisconsinite...).
Bullshit. Conformity is when you like something because other people like it. Not liking something because other people like it is conformity, just conformity with a group you think you should be a part of.
Just got done reorganizing all of my research in one note, loaded up on skydrive (impressive how far live has come since I last looked).
Ran across this device which I must own: http://www.wirelessgoodness.com/2011/02/04/noteslate-the-100...
Toying with the idea of dumping all of my research out of one note and into the interwebs, raw. Haven't decided one way or another yet.
I've been busy hacking for weeks, didn't even notice.
Those who watch the Super Bowl, and those who run ads during the Super Bowl.
(We had a good audience, too -- I have a feeling that the set of people who attend classical music concerts doesn't overlap very much with the set of people who watch football.)
I am watching the game (Packers just scored) while working on a hobby game project.
My wife across the room is also hacking on something for SXSWi. Love being married to another coder!
Super bowl (of soup).
This is a direct reaction to seeing this excellent chart from the "Knack for Getting Money" thread, and wanting to move as much finished work as I can from the middle category to the right-hand category:
Time to get back to wrestling with the CSS, which isn't always easy for us right-brained types :)

Now I've just got to persuade a few people to switch away from insecure methods.
That said, football brings to mind a great PG quote: "Kids are sent off to spend six years memorizing meaningless facts in a world ruled by a caste of giants who run after an oblong brown ball, as if this were the most natural thing in the world."
The new layout is here: http://dev.thingist.com/index.html nothing here will work properly, though, and it will probably blip in and out of actually working (it's a staging server [well, a virtual one]).
Unfortunately, it's more than just a simple css file rewrite.
edit: new layout is pretty much applied (to the staging [virtual] server).
i.e. How can I possibly select parent rows where ALL children match a certain criteria.
Don't have the game on in the background even, no tv reception. It simplifies life quite a bit.

It needs a few more hours of for docs and testing before it is ready.
The new FUEL PHP framework is great, BTW.
The Super...what is on tonight? :)
Oh, you mean that new-commercial showcase everybody talks about? Most of them were on YouTube yesterday.
