tlongren··on How Software Developers Use Twitter
Cool! Been waiting for this report to come out.
tlongren··on Show HN: Color in your browser console
I like this a lot. Here's clickable link to the github repo: https://github.com/jbail/lumberjack
tlongren··on 33 Questions
It was much more clear after having it pointed out to me.
tlongren··on 33 Questions
"As an example, having the questions "Are you male?" and "Are you below the median age?" will not work "

First question is "Are you male?". Made me laugh.

tlongren··on Zurb Foundation 5 Released
I think you'd like this: http://patterntap.com/code
tlongren··on USV.com is not open source
Is NOW open source? http://www.usv.com/posts/usvcom-is-now-open-source
tlongren··on DigitalOcean Sucks. Use DigitalOcean
Recently moved a few sites to a single, 1GB droplet and am very, very happy with it. Also have been using a 512MB droplet for the last 3 months or so to run a tor relay. Their "one-click" installs are nice too, and WordPress runs really well on a 1GB droplet.

Thanks. :)

is the source to this available anywhere?
tlongren··on DigitalOcean One-Click WordPress Install
I, for one, think this is awesome. They even have one-click installs for Ghost.

tlongren··on Kofi Annan: Stop 'war on drugs'
You're probably right, no administration would ever admit that, though.
tlongren··on Kofi Annan: Stop 'war on drugs'
Easy to say, but it'll never happen, especially in the US (at least not in my lifetime, hopefully my daughters). Too many jobs would be unnecessary if the "war on drugs" was over.
tlongren··on Debian: Change default desktop to xfce
This is awesome and I hope XFCE remains the default. I will love and use debian forever, either way.
tlongren··on Show HN: Halloween Site for my Daughter
Keep emails pg-13 please. :)
tlongren··on Ask HN: Why have a side project?
I just like to build things, especially things that may make a buck or two.
tlongren··on Android for all and the new Nexus 5
5" screen is too big for me. Will probably stick with N4 for a while yet.
tlongren··on Tell HN: Stop sending bulk emails and pretending they're personal
I've taken care to add unsubscribe links are at the end of every email that comes from vpsstat.us, even the "account created" emails.

Or you can login, click a button, and be done with emails (other than account-related notices).

I loathe that private email feeling that some startups try to create via mass emailing.

tlongren··on Ask HN: Why would I switch from PHP to Python for web development?
If you've got good PHP devs already, and they're most comfortable with it, just stick with PHP. Changing just for the sake of changing (all the hate on PHP) doesn't make a lot of sense.
tlongren··on What's This Image at The YMCA?
Awesome!! Thank you! Updated post to include your info.
tlongren··on Show HN: PkgHub.io - Simple Ubuntu Package Hosting
Agreed.
tlongren··on Show HN: PkgHub.io - Simple Ubuntu Package Hosting
I was mostly referring to the much nicer user interface.
tlongren··on Show HN: PkgHub.io - Simple Ubuntu Package Hosting
This could be waaay better than Launchpad. And much nicer looking, too.
tlongren··on Real world php PaaS supporting file system ftp & git
Cool!

There's fortrabbit, too.

Going to bed. Any questions I'll answer tomorrow.
tlongren··on Show HN: Allcni.com
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in D:\Hosting\11890415\html\email.php on line 7
tlongren··on How APIs Will Evolve
No way in hell will I ever pay for an 'API Hub'. Unless it's something I absolutely can't live without.

tlongren··on Github makes Europe lose half a day of work.
Something really wrong if you can't work just because Github is inaccessible.
