   While I have given it a try and had terrible panic attacks. Maybe if I kept at it, I'd get used to it but crossing that barrier was too much for me.

   I've been sitting here at my computer since almost 8pm yesterday. It's 8PM now. I can absolutely identify with the OP. It's not just startups, having a full time job and going to uni as a full time student was a stupid move. It's bad enough

   Ah this one actually works. Thanks. I just wasted a good hour placing the nicks of every one in the irc channel I frequent into jpg.to. Hilarity ensued. Productivity diminished.

   Feeling out of place, I can absolutely sympathise. I haven't quite found my place yet. It's made worse with all this talk about star wars, geeky t-shirts and other pop culture paraphernalia. We aren't all fans of star wars. We aren't all ju

   Yes! I remember this was on HN a few days ago and thought it relevant but I couldn't remember the exact name so I googled shoosl+keys+copy+delivery+startup and a variety of combinations based on that but couldn't find the service online. Th

   I feel burnt out. I don't write open source software. I just make sites for select clients. I try to make their wacky ideas a reality. But there's no appreciation in it. End of the day you're just another drone. Between this and trying to k

   I'm glad some manufacturers aren't jumping into the "big screen" and "minimal buttons" trend. Now if we could just remove the "social networking" trend. Understandably, a phone is considered a social device but there's calling someone and t

   And it's back! Though I'd be hesitant to make any purchases, considering how fickle the site's performance is at the moment.

    Don't forget how close it is to FOSS.

    Darn, Keon is sold out. I wanted a small smartphone. OS aside, I'm hoping Firefox OS (is there an official abbreviation we can use) will rejuvenate the small screen smartphone market.

    I can't get over the Fiji comment. I'm from there you see and I'd never heard of this particular theory regarding the CIA.

    I'm on Chrome (OSX) and the bottom nav nauseatingly slides up and down, up and down, up and... you get the idea. Looks like they rushed to push this out. Expect more from Microsoft.

    To quote Scarface: I like you, Mozilla. There's no lying in you. I'd be far more willing to trust Mozilla than Google or Apple. As Firefox OS has shown, they're committed to the web.

    I've also noticed an increase in spam comments and trackbacks that akismet doesn't catch. Is this possibly related? At least on two occasions I've noticed the ip address of a spam comment match against an attempted login.

    Indeed a massive pain. I've been getting alerts from dreamhost regarding increased memory usage. I have http://www.wordfence.com/ installed and my blocklist only increases.

    I'm curious about the 'made in new zealand' line in the footer. Was there an NZ dev team involved? I'd love to know who.

    I'm currently going through CBT and on multiple meds. None seem to be working and my uni life suffers, as does my work life. Having no social life and no friends doesn't help. Yet I keep at it. Life is full of so many possibilities, so many

    Possibly inconsequential but you have one right here. I've called a suicide hotline more times than I can remember. They don't tell you something resulting in some great epiphany. What they do is talk to you. Simply talk to you, hear what y

    I know it doesn't seem feasible but I do wish we could have an "International Suicide Prevention lifeline". When I lived in Fiji, I would often look on the web for some place to call. I often settled for irc chatrooms. It's sad that my firs

    I remember using bitlbee with Skype. The problem was I had to keep the official Skype client running. I believe it was the same for pidgin's Skype plugin? Major annoyance.

    I get where you're coming from. As a web developer I'm all for the web in general. I suppose my frustration stems from how an evaluation of a new web framework leads to a frustrating back and forth on native vs. web. It's a hot topic. I'm c

    I'll admit the demo was impressive but there's still noticeable lag in animations. So far the only web app that I've seen come even close to native is Hacker Web: http://hackerwebapp.com/ I don't know about the rest of HN but I'm become s
