I agree with peregrine on webforms--just not clean, hard to make feel like a modern web app oughtta. The good news is that ASP.NET MVC 3 makes it easy enough to completely avoid WebForms.

There are certainly aspects of this movement to which I'm sympathetic, and I see lots of ingredients in their campaign that give it a good shot of taking root. But I wonder if there's really enough passion in anonymous sympathizers or if it

Seems to me that if a node can have multiple edges pointing to it, and an edge can point to multiple nodes, nodes and edges are effectively the same thing, or at the very least have identical properties. Am I missing something? I suppose it

I've published my python solutions for reference, kibitzing, critique, etc. on github: https://github.com/sblom/hyperpublic-challenge Anyone else published solutions? I'd love to see one in Clojure.

Hmmm. Why the cryptic assembly language stuff? Surely this isn't (_very_) cleverly disguised malware...

There's a shipped project that ties this in to OpenID. http://emailtoid.net Some of the OpenID crowd were aware of it at the time, but it hasn't really caught on. It's kinda fun to use it as an OpenID provider to log in to itself. Very me

I have a hunch that you could change its appearance substantially by tweaking the probability of connecting sets and connecting vertically.

Love it. Seems like the perfect compromise between no system and a too-rigid system. I wouldn't call it "Getting Everything Done" so much as "Getting (Some) Things Done".

If you remember what a linked list is, how pointers (or references) work, and have written more than 10k real world lines of code in your favorite programming language, I would fully expect you to be able to write, not memorize, any of the

I _love_ this idea--I often want to send a letter to my Congressmen, but am too lazy to actually address an envelope. Only problem: how do we know that mailcongress.org will actually mail the letters that we pay to have them mail? It's not
