Ahaha, no - the example is Brighton for everyone. I used to live there (although I'm temporarily living in Liverpool at the moment while my girlfriend works on a masters).
It's a rather fantastic place. There's a whole bunch of us here on HN so I'm sure people will notice.
Is there a way to make my profile less...blue?
Aha, not right now - but if there's enough demand I could potentially look to add that option in. Awesome cover photo, by the way.
I feel bad as it's not my photo, but I couldn't find a suitably high res picture that worked as well. Plus it's fucking old so there's less of a chance the photographer would give a flying fuck.
+1 for having a colour tweak on certain things.. even from a list of 12 in a palette (would be good on a per project basis)
Maybe it's time for a HN Brighton meetup?
Do it!
Isn't it called BarCamp? That said, this year people need to step in and help organise.
