HackU will be the most missed part of my job. It was a great 25%, it was the other 75% of my job that needed work :) I'm heading to Facebook as an astute reader gleaned. Although, I don't know what I'll do there yet ;)

Doing your own thing / startup isn't all its cracked up to be. 90% of the people I know doing it are chasing money, and I don't want to dedicate my life to that. Too short to just make money, I'd rather enjoy the ride, and love what I do. I

:) thanks. I worked with the HackU event, and those were the first place prized for 2009. One group was only 3 instead of 4, so I stole the last one. When I'm doing the event, I wear it everywhere. Going through airport security with it on,

I'm sure you can hack together a little input form that creates a webnumbr. :)

Wow, thank you for your feedback. -- OpenID Leave it blank if you want (maybe I should write "optional" somewhere). I didn't want to make a username/password scheme and openid seems like a perfect fit. -- Opera, IE7 I never tested it there.

Yeah, i agree about the scraping. The good news is you can edit your numbr (if you registered with an openid) then you can fix your scraping. Also, you can start a new numbr but with the history of an old numbr imported. I don't have that i

Yeah, the poorly labeled CPUs don't search well on newegg. Please let me know if you find any others. I've hand checked the ones I cared about and they seemed good.
