"A few days" might be optimistic but I'm sure HN can help — in fact, we have an extra room if you need a temporary spot. (Jason knows how to get in touch with me.)

I've got Piwik on a shared host (WebFaction tier 1) and while I like the software, I discovered its limit at one point last week with http://reasonstumblrwentdown.com . (The site had about 25k uniques and 250k actions total.) It eventually

I have long preferred http://namecheap.com for the usual TLDs and (somewhat more recently) http://domainsite.com for many ccTLDs. I very recently transferred an important domain from http://joker.com after inadvertently discovering th

Definitely tried it as soon as I saw mention. Extremely easy to implement and fun to boot.

I thought this would get the original address of a shortened URL. That would actually be useful.

I, too, think it's a good idea but her presentation definitely rubbed me the wrong way.

I'm curious too — I'm moving to SF on Friday and would love to find some like-minded people with whom I can live.

Luckily I'll be able to crash with the aforementioned friend for about a week — any longer than that and I'll have to hit up acquaintances or dole out for a hotel or a place on Airbnb. As for the Social Security card, hopefully that's not c

I'm moving to SF in 10 days and I'd like to know the best way to go about securing an apartment. I've been trolling Craigslist for a couple weeks but have not received one response despite in-depth emails. Should I just have my credit repor

Today is my last day at work in Connecticut -- in two weeks I'll be moving to San Francisco and seeking a new position. (Anybody looking for a solid, well-rounded front-end guy who wants to dive into more stuff? I'm huge on detail and a qui

I've been in journalism for about six years now and have worked on some fairly prolific sites; in that time, I've learned that objectivity is a myth. Don't trick yourself into thinking otherwise. That said, I'd love to offer advice/guidance
