sachleen··on Show HN: My New Year's project, ICanHasNoise - Noisy backgrounds with just a URL
I've found myself in the same situation on more than one occasion. This will come in handy.

FYI: You forgot the ".com" in the URL you linked to in your comment.

sachleen··on Qik.im - Two in One: Fastest Url shortener ever + QR code generator
Nice! One thing I'd like to see is if it didn't generate a new short URL for the same long URL. For example, both http://qik.im/BV0 and http://qik.im/6Br point to this page (I shortened this page's URL twice).
sachleen··on Death to .DS_Store
A shortcut in Windows for this is to use the right mouse button when dragging. That shows you the context menu when you drop the file, allowing you to choose between copy and move. An interesting thing is when you drag files on the same drive, it defaults to move. When the source and destination locations are on different drives, it defaults to copy.
sachleen··on New Developer Tools in Firefox 11 Aurora
The “Tilt” 3D View looks so cool! But it's nice to see Firefox getting Developer Tools.
sachleen··on Show HN: Create your own HN style site (for business or any online community)
Very nice. Not really related to what you've created but I'm really liking the use of Bootstrap in many of these kinds of projects. Back to ribbot, I created an account but my name is "New User" and I see no way of changing this.

Edit: I see going to profile shows an option to change the user name. You should consider sending the user there to set a user name upon first sign in.

sachleen··on Show HN: My weekend project - Uberzet
I gave it a try to figure out what it was about (as others say, this should be explained on the main page) Pretty cool idea, but if I remove the app from my Dropbox, will it still have an index of my public folder? It wouldn't be able to index any new items, but I'm guessing the items in there already will remain in your index. Is this correct?
