Seriously,...no body even noticed MogoTix ticketing Facebook's f8 event last year? www.mogotix.com my startup. However, I don't believe MogoTix is the disruption this industry needs.

Here's to a man who brought newtonian's out of the stone age. Chaos baby,...Chaos.
Sthorpe | 14 years ago | on: Snow Crash movie to be written and directed by Joe Cornish
Why isn't Mr. Stephenson writing the script? Doesn't even look like he cares,...which makes me wonder if I should.
On another note, Ender's Game is coming out and Orson Scott Card fought hard to get the right actors and write the script. Oh how I can't wait for this....

I personally struggle when writing. However, when I write something important, I make sure to have someone proof read it. The message shouldn't be lost by simple grammar errors. And so,...I would say its a intelligence problem.

I honestly think this is the best piece of rhetoric to keep our old system in place.
The system is awful, but its the best we got. I'd prefer if we brought back our philosophers and started to have large debates on the writing of new law.
We are to afraid to change our old old system. Depressing.

Ahh, I signed up so long ago I had forgotten.
Sthorpe | 14 years ago | on: Introducing Collusion: Discover who’s tracking you online
Here is my version of a tracker I wrote. https://github.com/sthorpe/tracked
It sniffs your local packets and tells you all the sites that connect to your computer while you browse.
Then I organize them by number of times connected to your computer. It reveals some really weird sites. Like somehow pandora knows my age and sex....

I was just thinking how awesome it would be to have a graph of my brain waves so I could tune them to alpha waves while coding. :)

"In the first quarter of 2012, our compensation committee discussed and approved a request by our CEO to reduce his base salary to $1 per year, effective January 1, 2013."
Awesome.
Sthorpe | 14 years ago | on: Stripe: instant payment processing for developers
Stripe, recently saved me. I am still fighting with my merchant processor *First Data who is awful. I talked to Stripe via Sean Harper with FeeFighters and I was up and rolling in 20 minutes. Yes, Jaw drop fast. Most payment processors require at least two weeks to be setup. Their UI/UX is beautiful and simple. When I need help I get it immediately. I love this company. :)

The simple truth about procrastination is that it happens because you delay your happiness. The act that you are procrastinating or putting off is motivated by a risk of your final reward.

Paying for SMS is awful. Just out of curiosity how would you suggest we don't, "just bend over and take it?"

One small request. On iphone signup, don't have the password field in visible text.
Sthorpe | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: What tools do you use to monitor your LAMP server(s)?
STACK: MySQL, RoR, Nginx, Mongrel, Monit
Fun. We use:
- Newrelic
- Engineyard: http monitor
- Hoptoad for errors
- Some custom daemon scripts that fire emails when background processes aren't working.
Sthorpe | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Is it bad to entertain an idea that has already been tried?
I love building stuff. Its one of those guilty pleasures that consume my weekends. The truth about fun projects is that you can waste your life away working on them. I would recommend that you really think about this idea more. Maybe you could see yourself doing this for much longer than a weekend? Why not?

Sthorpe | 15 years ago | on: Hey, Guys, It's Totally Okay If You Don't Get Rich
I could careless about money. I'm actually horrible with it. I build things and break a lot of stuff. One thing I have become obsessed about is reaching my goals. Not sure if i'm the only one, but I am terrified of myself. For example, has anyone set a goal in the beginning of the year and then on December 31 reviewed how far they got? A new years resolution? I have gotten very serious about my routines and where they take me. I have been surprised by how hard it is to keep a goal in sight and develop routines that help me reach it. But, so far, my new routine has become my happiness. I wish for all of you the same.
