Doesn't www.enigma.io do this?

Nice! For those of you that want to play with similar visualizations: http://kamisama.github.io/cal-heatmap/ is a pretty nice js module that does this very nicely.

Why learn "big data" frameworks when you're just a regular hacker? datatau.com

The comments really confused me. I thought the article was about delivering a pitch for your startup.

I have a habit of reading the comments on HN before reading the article. Helps me confer some context to it usually, and also see if it's worth spending my time. (Yes I know I should be making my own decision.)

Fantastic, just set my inbox up using this. So excited.

One other hack idea:

If you use your android phone to send reminders ('Note to Self' voice command)

You can set up a filter for mails with Subject:"Note to self" Apply label 'yellow-bang' Skip: inbox

Wow. I haven't used it yet, but I love it already! I am going to go ahead, open a pull request and work on connecting a time tracker like SlimTimer (though I wish someone came up with a better interface). Opening a pull request because I'll need all the help I can get since I am still new to web development and nodejs.

Also, Spotify!

Have you looked at http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/ ? From what I understand, these are similar except it's more about doing things in the least amount of characters than lines.

For example, here's the 552 character Ruby code to print the lyrics of a song.

You mean '3 out of top 4'? There's a "Protean echo" too.
