orph··on The strange story of etherpad
You mean other than piratepad being an unstable hacker playground?

Awesome thanks for posting! I'm on it. ... fixed now!
orph··on The strange story of etherpad
There are dozens of stock etherpad instances that don't require a login that you can use. Unfortunately, they aren't doing anything interesting.

Would you login using a Gmail account? A Twitter account?

Dude, why on earth do you need all those FB permissions? hackpad requests only email, and the barrier is still too high.

orph··on Prolonged Partial Sleep Deprivation for a Job (The worst year of my life [so far])
Hey listen, I know exactly how you feel.

Sleep issues have been a major factor in my life since the 3rd grade, where I started to stay up too late every night and miss the bus in the morning.

My advice is to stop using a computer outside of work. Entirely. Remove computers from your home. Stop carrying a laptop in your backpack.

I stayed up late at night hacking open source for a decade. I'm only now accepting that my health hinges on not working on a software project in my free time.

Just try it for a month. The world will not fall apart.
