Well - It works! http://ca.pitali.st/CQHTDF I know nothing about how the algorithms for building these kinds of work, but very cool none the less. Preview function is especially nice. Add a submit button - not everyone knows to hit enter

It was sold off in a major chunk to a friend of "Pappy", and the software itself has been given a face lift, with a new brand and a new direction. But i'm told that underneath it all, it's still very much the same product. I could do an epi

As I mention near one of the later chapters, I had found a new job already, at which I am presently employed. Thanks for your well wishes, however. And thanks for the kind words! Although it was reality for me, that by no means detracts fro

Like i'm sure everyone will say... If the pay is great, and you don't get locked into chasing the dream of a big payout in 3-4 years, and it'll be technology you want to work with, why not? If it's a good job opportunity otherwise, just don

She makes a bunch of great points, but as someone who has worked on several projects with a properly implemented ORM, I find that I have to disagree with the post. It sounds like a lot of people who are Anti-ORM in the comments (here, and

I've been writing a similar tale of my own - with a surprisingly similar name, as a matter of fact. It's never easy to watch something you've poured so much work into fall apart like that, so my condolences on your loss http://lookingbacka

Oh, and thanks for the compliment! You've got some interesting posts on your blog, I like your stuff on Canvas and simulating orbits. In my spare time, I've been teaching myself how to work with Canvas, for the purpose of making very simpl

I touch on that near the end of the story, but to give you a sneak preview - Working for another startup, and also taking on side projects to try and keep me on my toes. I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment, but I love development work

Thanks, that really means a lot to me. That said - You ain't read nothin yet. There is plenty more ridiculousness still left to come. Pass it along to anyone who might be interested, I'd love to get more feedback (positive or negative) on h

That explains it then... I knew I had seen them in other comments, and I must have just assumed it would work in the description. Learn something new everyday, thanks!

This is going to sound like a dumb question, but how did you do that? I figured URLs would automatically be hyper-linked, but I suppose not... Is there a series of HN meta tags that I can use to make that work?

Thanks for the huge compliment, as well as taking the time to read so far.

Thanks, I'm trying to keep to 2 updates per week, so another one should arrive around Friday at some point. Pass it along to anyone you might know who'd be interested, my main goal right now is to get more feedback on it so I can improve my

Haha, I can relate to that, for sure. Keep reading, there's a part you'll definitely relate to, near the end of "The New Office". We had a guy who constantly oversold and overpromised, causing us endless pains... Thanks for reading! Be sure

Point well taken - That's really just my style, I suppose. I wrote it to reflect how I would tell the story if I were directly talking to someone. I'll try to be on the lookout for anything that looks too over-done in the future. Thanks for

I agree, I wish i could enforce chronological order on it... Maybe if I add a sidebar widget, it might help, to let people quickly jump to old posts? Thanks for reading! Edit: I can reverse the chronological order of things, but I'm not in

I would recommend, at the very least, trying to contribute to an open source project first, so you can get a sense of how to collaborate with other developers (You don't really mention if you have professional or just personal experience, s
