Thanks, I already use Webmasters Tools. Apparently I have no critical issue and nothing to report in the Optimization tab.

You can easily convert this code to Python or Ruby, if I remember correctly both have Ncurses support.
Re:Richardfontana/GPL.next - Fork of GPL on Saturday July 07, 2012 @09:05AM (#4211536)
What is the main difference between this and the original GPL ?

I'm not a lawyer so I ask here, why I would use GPL.next instead of GPL ?

With Windows 7 you can backup a clean installation (OS and drivers), no need to reactivate, just recover from a backup ...

Same goes for a VM, just make a copy of the fresh installed VM.

Nice work, but you need to add a license for the library, if you want people to start using and improving your library.
Re:Sublime Text 2.0 Released on Tuesday June 26, 2012 @09:49AM (#4161709)
This is one of the best programming editors I've ever used. I like the idea of using same editor (and interface) on Mac, Windows and Linux.

I suppose you know that you split the layout of ST just like you can split the pane in iTerm2 ... You can even have the same file open twice in a side by side view.
Re:Sublime Text 2.0 Released on Tuesday June 26, 2012 @09:45AM (#4161691)
Yes, but if you appreciate the work of the author you should buy a license after you try the editor.
As I see it you have 2 possibilities:

1. Find yourself work by handing cards ... just like you do now. I think it will eventually work after you land a few projects.

2. Use an aggregate freelancing site like oDesk, vWorker etc. Here is a link to an interesting story about freelancing on vWorker:

Re:Ask HN: How to start iOS development ? on Friday June 22, 2012 @12:39PM (#4147514)
I've watched the first three lessons and looks promising, but if you don't already Objective-C it will became quickly problematic to follow the course.
Re:Ask HN: How to start iOS development ? on Friday June 22, 2012 @12:37PM (#4147508)
Ruby alternative - RubyMotion C# alternative - MonoTouch

That being said, I still think Objective-C is the way to go if you are an individual developer. For a company with a large .NET base of coders for e.g. makes more sense to use MonoTouch.
