   I've got to turn my laptop off for a while. :-( I've ticketed setting up a log tail somewhere else: https://github.com/whit537/www.gittip.com/issues/144 I did catch one other (less significant) error by watching the logs. I'm sorry for th

   I've started tailing and storing logs locally to try to capture this.

   Okay, I'm sorry for this. I don't have good logging set up yet (see https://github.com/whit537/www.gittip.com/issues/115 ), so I'm not easily able to recover the traceback. :^( Obviously this is a big problem. Has anyone else seen this?

   BTW, do you use Google Analytics' realtime features (or other realtime analytics)? It's really fun. :-)

   Yeah, it's about making the world better on your terms. I think the crowd can be a better proxy of value to society than the corporation.

    Can it be drinking my own whiskey instead? I guess if I want it to be that I'd better make some whiskey. Hmm ... ;-)

    I want to expand it beyond GitHub, but yes.

    @zoobert Do you know about Gittip? https://www.gittip.com/github/gaubert/

    May I plug https://www.gittip.com/ up here, too? Gittip lets you pay money to developers on GitHub. It's only a month old. Three weeks ago we moved $30, and last week we moved $380. https://www.gittip.com/about/stats.html Right now I'm

    I'm interested to see how HN does for you. The front page in my experience drives an order of magnitude less traffic than you saw from Mashable, which is still a nice bump. Let us know how we convert, eh? :-)

    Good work, man. Takeaway for me is to make the most of Google Analytics' conversion tracking features.

    Love seeing data, MrFoof! Thank you. To me those numbers establish Tarn Adams as a successful example of personal funding. I want to see a culture of people funding each other. I want Tarn Adams to have been ahead of the curve.
