Dropbox syncing to 3 machines, one of which is a linux server in my closet. The linux server makes snapshots of the folder and saves rolling daily, weekly and monthly snapshots to a RAID1 array. (see http://neverusethisfont.com/blog/2010/0

The relative scale is a really interesting idea! I'd love to give that a try!

I think the reason most people give is that HTTP requests are usually easier to implement than DNS lookups. I do like the idea of DNS lookups tho, seems cleaner.

I would really love to use an app like this. The problem I have with most things like this is that I have a hard time judging my mood on a 1-10 scale. How do I know what a 7 vs and 8 means? And how do I make sure I evaluate my mood on the t

Having just converted an app to use Postgres from MySQL, I can tell you that the PDO drivers only get you so far. You're still ultimately going to be writing SQL, and then you have to get into the differences between MySQL's `key`="val" and

Back on my computer (commented from my phone earlier). I don't know if you just added more screenshots already, or if you were just hiding from the mobile view! They look good tho! Unfortunately my old version is not generally available, bu

Great to see this packaged as a nice service for people! I built something a lot like this in 2004 and used it with a household of 6-8 people for over 5 years with great success. We split rent, utilities and food with it. I let a few other

This is not new behavior, people have made small useless apps on the weekend for a long time. This is, however, the first time it's been possible to get such wide visibility of these kinds of projects thanks to HN and the rest of the Intern

Incredibly difficult to use. I tried sharing a link, and it worked nothing like I expected, and involved at least 4 attempts.

Agreed. I just came to the comments page to ask this. I'd like to send a link to this insult to a certain someone...

I'd rather read the TC story as well! Keep in mind that the glancee.com site will likely disappear within a few months, but the techcrunch article is here to stay. I bookmark a lot of things i find on HN and I'd rather not have those links

Please change the title of the article so that I can send it to a friend who really needs to read it. I don't want to insult her.
