Congratulations, that's very impressive! VBA seems like it will be around for many years to come, and there is probably good opportunity in and around financial centres (London's Canary Wharf/City, New York's Wall Street) for a financial o

Hugely impressive piece of work. I migrated a Wordpress blog to Jekyll a few years ago and was surprised how nice it was working with a flat file system. However, things do tend to get a bit slow when you regenerate large sites, especially

You are of course, correct (as ry0ohki states), but this one FOIA request could lead the way to more competitive favicon quotes from contractors in the future, leaving a net saving for HMG. Sounds facetious, but it's this transparency that

Any anchor text you would particularly like people to use? I do quite a bit with SEO, and imagine you want to avoid too many "over here" anchors!

Hm, I am not sure WePay is ready to be making these kind of gestures. I thought I would take a quick look to see if it would be a viable option to receive payments in the UK. Their FAQ page ( https://www.wepay.com/about/faq ) features a ni

I don't think anyone else will understand why you would want to use it either. More competition, more innovation, better products for us to use in the future? You probably don't need to pay attention to this project. Did you pay attention

Totally agree; I'd rather have the excellent content they deliver and a few ads. Most people just gloss over them, anyway. OP - try AdBlock, or buying their book to help support them.

I read this in The Times this morning (made it it into the print copy), and was surprised/pleased to see a HNer make it in). Also relieved that the usually self-promotional jgrahamc didn't post the link here himself.

Good to see such a considered approach in this day and age. In my eyes, there could be no TextMate 2, and I wouldn't complain. It is such a sturdy, reliable piece of software (with comparatively little in the same league), that it seems un
