   Wow! I'm glad I came back into this thread -- these are all such great tips. Especially the advisory group (item 2)

   "fair wage" was a poor choice of words on my part. I didn't mean to imply that your payment was "unfair", but rather that minimum wage is to low (imo) for an advanced programming book.

   Thank you for the details! Much appreciated. Even though you may not have been paid a "fair wage" for the work that you put into this book, it sounds like you are very happy with the outcome and the experience and the future benefits that y

   So, is this the full version of the O'Reilly book [1] or something different? I'm curious about the business end of this project: did you sell this PDF before giving it away for free? How much revenue have you brought in? How much time have

   I've always been a fan of Seneca, the Roman philosopher and Stoic. Here's a great collection of quotes: http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Seneca

   How about a simple voting mechanism which will display more popular quotes more frequently?

    Thanks for this. I'm a big Derren Brown fan and can't view YouTube due to proxy restrictions. I know exactly which clip this is thanks to your summary.

    I'm not sure about Basecamp Alternatives created by HN / YC members but I've used ActiveCollab, which is self-hosted and very nice. Zoho has a great offering, too. Here's a fairly comprehensive list, but I'm not sure how old it is. http://

    Killer Quote: "...Instead of impressing focus groups, designers should do a thought experiment: Imagine what Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive would have to say about your interface..."

    Yeah, that's kinda the point. HN stops being the place that people come to for fluffy/inflammatory stories as we've seen for the past few days.

    We just need 24 hours of pure <insert obscure, fringe technology here> stories. I think we've used Erlang in the past (no offense to the Erlangers, obviously)

    I'd love some more details: 1. How did you come up with this as a topic for an eBook? 2. Is this your area of expertise, or did you see a niche market? 3. What are some specifics on your AdWords campaign? 4. Looks like you have a strong onl

    It's incredibly simple to save the JS files + HTML file to your local machine and run it locally.

    Not if you just save the JS file to your local machine, right? There's no HTTP involved in that case (which is precisely how I intended to use it).

    What are some negatives to using a security method like this? In my mind, it's just a way to come up with "hard to guess, but easy to remember" passwords.

    Wow! I've actually been trying to come up with a secure, but easy-for-me-to-remember password scheme. What I wanted to build was a password generator which takes a username and domain as inputs and spits out an pseudo-random passsword. Some

    Thanks for the reply. I completely understand about having "one less thing to worry about" and it sounds like selling to the highest bidder is your best bet at this point.

    Can you give a few more details on the site itself? I'm fascinated by the idea of "flipping" websites, and wondering what your experience has been. Even though you may not have started out with the intention of selling it to the highest bid

    This thread is extremely relevant to my interests. I've thought about this for a long time and I'm completely shocked when I see dog-allergies.com (which has only been online for 5 months) selling for $600! I know SOME of this is modern day

    I have a zillion of these seemingly simple ideas and barely ever execute on them. So, congrats on the finished minimum viable product and rapid release! I'm commenting here because I'm very interested in how this small project works out for

    Well, the video and article mentions Google and Google Docs about a dozen times...I think Google provided some or all of the financing. From their website: http://schools.nyc.gov/SchoolPortals/09/X339/default.htm Showcased by Google as hi
