Number of times I've commented on an HN story: 0

Number of times I've followed up on GitHub related news, anywhere: n + rand(50..100) # => always

Times I've thought that Github is growing sickeningly commercial, that my attempt at best practice and code sharing is equating to (millions of) dollars in their pocket, and that other seemingly like-minded individuals want to capitalize on their successes to achieve notice: At least twice.

At least when Dr. Nic made this widget, it seemed original.

This is a pet project and we gain nothing but experience. We were not aware of any similar projects when starting. In terms of capitalizing, please keep in mind that there are no ads and we do not intend to add any so it will cost us in the contrary when more people start to use this.
