    Huh, kind of OT, but I had no idea that it's spelled Torschlusspanik. In Switzerland all I ever heard was Torschusspanik (as in "die Angst, den Ball rechtzeitig ins Netz zu bringen…

    Man, this thing is so cool! Never ever heard of this watch before. This is exactly the kind of 'smart' watch I want: deliver some additional infos, without being obnoxious about it…

    The example from /r/coding[1] is very nice to listen to: awk 'function wl() { rate=64000; return (rate/160)*(0.87055^(int(rand()*10)))}; BEGIN { srand(); wla=wl(); while(1) { wlb=w…

    Not quite. I live in Zurich Downtown, and you won't even find a Pizza Margarita for that price (17CHF). Its more like 22CHF (= $25) minimum. I've also lived in more rural areas in …

    Wow, that looks really cool. Can we get a bit more background on how it works?

    Well, the best (read: cleanest/simplest, fastest, and best get-out-the-way approach) way to listen to music on youtube imho is: www.deskamp.com Just put in the music you want to he…

    I don't really mind .gifs if used appropriate, like in this blog post of his http://jfornear.co/the-pinterest-layout-will-not-save-you where he (imho) also had a superior blog post…

    Also his article on building your own little programming language is equally awesome. Probably going to be my next project, thanks for giving some pointers! /edit: link to blog pos…

    That homepage design has to be the most distracting blog theme setting ever.

    What I did, for example, was that I enabled vi-mode in my shell but also re-enabled some emacs-keybindings like CTRL-E and CTRL-A for ending and beginning of a command because I le…

    Fair point, I asked that myself. See ErrantX's answer[1] which IMO totally makes sense: > Why would I care about rewatchability? Speaking as a film buff; this is actually quite a g…

    Also if one machine is not updated (due to no network, for example), the file still exists there.

    While I absolutely love your app, I think the name is horribly chosen. It's just one of these names that doesn't stick (if not prominent enough) and can't be derivated of its purpo…

    I can't help but feel that these people will someday look back and have great pictures of these events but no memory of them. Not necessarily. I am going to a lot of concerts (~3-4…

    This is why I love bandcamp (for example http://ohdaughter.bandcamp.com/ ). The first couple of downloads (I don't know how many, maybe the first 100) of a track/album are usually …
