awesome, out of curiosity, what kind of server is HN running on? edit: guy below me who maxed out the thread, server not language

as of ~a year ago: "3.0 GHz Core whatever, 12 GB RAM, 64-bit FreeBSD 7.1" see: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=516118

It's still that one. We were starting to spend too much time gcing once everything got lazily loaded, but a few days ago I started throwing stuff out of memory and now it looks like we've got performance back into the tolerable range.

Finishing up final negotiations on a licensing deal for some of the mapping functionality on ridewithgps.com -- original lawyerspeak in the agreement had too stiff of a non-compete.

Also, put up an issues page for users to publicly register feature requests and bugs, and then comment and vote on them. The idea is that we get alot of duplicate feature requests and reports of errata that take alot of time to personally respond to. By letting users see something is already registered, they can just upvote it and we have one less person to directly contact.
