I use this - try example 4:

yeahit··on Vi in JavaScript, in your browser
As a VIM user, these things irritated me:

1) I cannot delete the end of a line with this thing. Is that normal? Im only used to VIM so this might be a VI thing.

2) CLTR+ does not scale up the font size

yeahit··on Using YQL to grab HN links
You can filter that with another grep for example:

  wget -O- news.ycombinator.com | grep -o 'title"><a href="[^"]*' | grep -o http.*

If you use Linux or some other Unix, you can also do it with standard Unix tools:

  wget -O- news.ycombinator.com | grep -o http[^\"]*
Personally, I prefer curl because it writes to stdout per default:

  curl news.ycombinator.com | grep -o http[^\"]*
(After posting this, i noticed that HN cuts * signs at the end of a message. So I have to add this text here, or the last * would not be displayed.)
yeahit··on Why Developers are Switching to Mac
I like the Macbook Air except for the glare type display. And im not sure how well it supports linux.

Currently i think about buying one of the sony vgn-z notebooks. Any expriences with these?

yeahit··on A Unix Utility You Should Know About: Netcat

yeahit··on Experimental New York Times Interface
Looks like cuil.com

I would prefer they made a simple list like here on hn instead. Is there some general news site with a simple list of news on the web?

yeahit··on Introducing Mozilla Bespin, a Canvas-based IDE
Where is the Demo?
yeahit··on Ma.gnolia.com crashes hard -- no backups?
Wouldnt these two solutions be even nicer?

* Backup the Binlog of the DB (At least its called Binlog in MySql)

or

* Make a diff of the uncompressed dump and zip that. This diff would even be human readable.

yeahit··on WWW SQL Designer
Looks like its not canvas either, but svg.
yeahit··on Designing Web Interfaces: Standard Screen Patterns
In my daily browsing, I often see Designs that are not on that list.

For example Hacker News is a very standard interface to me. I would call it "Forum".

"Search" looks like it has multiple columns, but in my daily experience the main characteristic of "search" is that it only has a single column of results. (Google, Amazon, Yeahit...)

Another standard Layout, I would call "Portal". Yahoo is an example. Most pages are more or less "Portal" these days. (Another name for "Portal" is "utter mess".)

yeahit··on Pixlr - the online image editor
Ditto. But Keyboard shortcuts dont work on my Firefox 2 here. Any idea why? For example, CTRL+C / CTRL+V doesnt work.
yeahit··on Yeah It
you could try "c sharp"
