The DateTime syntax could be better explained: is it DDMMYYYY? Or MMDDYYYY?

#33Looks nice. Also out there, if you didn't know, is Preceden, which I have enjoyed using. http://www.preceden.com
Preceden creator here; thank you for the mention.
Fun fact: Preceden was launched on HN almost four years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1114834 :)

#34I'm a non-programmer so I'm not sure if yours is better, but I mapped out my life on something called Preceden, you can see it here:

hope the cross-reference is useful somehow!

#35What's the simplest way to run it locally? I don't necessarily want to upload it to gh-pages, but simply opening the html won't work either.
Make a copy of life.example.md, rename it to life.md, edit it. Run the page on a local server.
I didn't realize until far too recently that Python includes a built-in web server:
1. git clone https://github.com/cheeaun/life.git
2. cd life
3. python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
4. http://localhost:8000/

#37kind of similar to my CV: http://stbr.me/blog/files/cv.pdf (edit: which I did in latex)
Thats neat! Is the source available somewhere?

Thanks for creating it! I really enjoyed using it! :-)

#39My quick web search didn't show anything without caveats, but if there's any decent javascript that can be used to make the mouse wheel scroll the page sideways, that would be a really nice addition.
A mouse? That's one of those archaic precursors to multitouch trackpads, right?
People might not enjoy your 'joke', but you do have a very good point.
When I looked at it the first time, the mouse problem didn't came up. I used my two fingers and like in the authors mind I just swiped to the left and the timeline moved as expected.
After reading the comments, and seeing the 'mouse problem' I could see it in my minds eye how it 'breaks'.
But seeing your comment I realised the web site only breaks for 'older' input devices.
I believe the website would work just as nicely on any multi touch cellphone, and it would make sense to scroll from left to right.

But that then breaks natural horizontal scrolling if you're using a trackpad.
