TallboyOne··on After working +1200 hours in oDesk
What was your income after that much if I may ask? I always wondered how it compared to just getting word of mouth referrals from freelancing.

People have said they're nearly insolvent. They're also being sued I think. So, withdrawing USD from Mt. Gox you're screwed... I waited 3 months and gave, up, converted my dollars into bitcoin and sold it elsewhere.

TallboyOne··on Bitcoin $500
I said that mostly in jest. If you're starting a site though, just don't fucking pick .info, is my .02. Don't be a cheap ass, spend the extra $6, and get a 'real' TLD that doesn't have it's reputation destroyed by russian spammers.

That might be the one exception I can think of .. :o

Don't trust anything with .info

Yes. This happens all the time to me. I'll sit and burn out my brain trying to think of problems to solve... and I can never think of any then I see this and I want to just bang my head on the keyboard because it's just.. so.. simple.
TallboyOne··on Ask HN: Most successful startup that applied but never got into YC?
What was the company then that had a Cheerios box in their office because they turned down AirBnB and that was their guerrilla marketing prop?

Wasn't it AirBnB?

I mean, tbh I really don't care - I still want one. I feel like this is the same as saying people get struck by lightening.

TallboyOne··on The Monster Truck Madness 2 website has been taken down
Lol, not multiplied. I know it was a huge amount (for being a kid). I don't want to exaggerate though if it wasnt 300,000
TallboyOne··on The Monster Truck Madness 2 website has been taken down
Holy shit I just downloaded the trial of Midtown madness (!!) This used to be my jam!

The first website I ever built was dedicated to that game and I got tens of hundreds of thousands of visitors. How I managed to do that when I was like 14 or something I'm not sure.

I had every cheat, trick and hack under the sun, fully documented with photos.

My favorite was also the Motocross Madness throttle bug. If you went to buy a specific joystick and used the throttle hat, it would instantly gas the bike up to like 50,000cc's and you could do jumps so high that it would glitch, like a mile in the air.

TallboyOne··on The Monster Truck Madness 2 site is unchanged from 1998
no track designer, heh. Im talking a pirated copy of 3dsmax and a lot of reading. In retrospect this might have been motocross madness #1

Motocross Madness and Midtown Madness were both such fundamental pieces of my childhood. I wish I could convey the amount of nostalgia I have. Motocross Madness was the first time I actively tried to use a computer to 'do' something. I had to program my own tracks, and it was insanely hard at the time, but god were those the glory days.

TallboyOne··on Actualvim – Sublime Text 3 input mode powered by Vim itself
Not that I would want to do this, but (just so I can judge the scope of what you're saying), if someone were to start a kickstarter to rewrite it, would $100,000 be enough?
TallboyOne··on Actualvim – Sublime Text 3 input mode powered by Vim itself
How much of a challenge would it be to rewrite vim properly? Or is that a crazy idea..
