I also suggest keeping your .vimrc / .bashrc / .screenrc / whatever other config files you like in some kind of git repo so you can sync your config files to the remote machine nicely. The other nice thing about this is that if you have a remote that you don't use very often, you can either git clone the repo and rake / make to install, or even wget the file and move it in place manually.

Very cool. (1) Have you thought about using HOG templates for the matching step? Seems like you might get some interesting structural encoding similarities there. (2) When generating image patches, could they be different sizes? Or is the idea to make a simple grid?

I use http://zim-wiki.org and make my own sync / mobile options, since as of a few months ago there was no Android version. But someone /is/ working on a mobile app.

I get the marketing / branding aspect. From a contractor's point of view, though, there still isn't any guarantee that the firm that is you that is doing contract work will do quality work - there is no audit system other than referrals anyway. I wonder why people are more inclined to refer companies than individuals. Do companies incur more overhead for the client?

I think this challenge, like any other in this space, is to know your product and your customers. In the case of a post on HN, the customer is HN readers and the product is a post. It's good to know that the good old principles of market research apply to this as well.
