In case someone else is an Arch Linux user and wants to use this, I uploaded a pkgbuild to AUR.
Re:TrackMeNot Firefox add-on protects search privacy by generating noise

I agree; I remain unconvinced by TrackMeNot, I think it's the wrong approach.
Although the FAQ in the site says Bruce Schneier's criticism was unfounded, I'm not so sure about that. Here's Schneier's post: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2006/08/trackmenot_1.h...

If someone else is lazy like me, you can put the following in your ~/.gitconfig
[alias]
magic = rebase -i HEAD~10
Then you can just use 'git magic' instead of writing the full command.

The Firefox plugin at addons.mozilla.org is messed up (I looked at the contents and found it's an html document). However, the "Benefit right away by installing the firefox plugin" link has a working xpi. Just a heads-up for anyone wondering why they can't install the plugin. :-)
EDIT: Oh, and the statusbar icon is utterly pointless.

I'm working on a lightweight shell. It was originally an assignment for university, but I thought it was interesting to work on it.
I'm also trying to start a project with my Arduino, though I'm not sure what I'll create. Maybe a simple robot.
Re:Ask HN: What's your philosophy?

That's called flow. I've been reading a book by Mihaly Csikszentmihaly on that ( http://www.amazon.com/Flow-Psychology-Experience-Mihaly-Csik... ).
That's what drives me, too.
Re:Ask HN: How do you share screenshots?

I use scrot and then upload the resulting screenshot to my slice.
Re:HN: feedback on my image bookmarking website

I like the minimalist look. However, the bookmarklet shouldn't be confined to the "Post" section. Make it clear that to post images, one needs to use the bookmarklet.
It would be nice if the images either had no title at all, or the user that posted the picture could change the title.
