which would have been my first avenue in attempting to do something like this. Have you attempted to do something like this? Because he not only has attempted, he's done it.

It comes across as wanting to prove how smart you are instead of seeking to learn from someone who has done incredible work and—lucky for us—is bursting at the seams with enthusiasm to share it. Oh and congratulations jpap on what's looking like the most successful and technically solidest HN launch in quite some time! I hope your hard work pays off.
