Ask HN: How do you keep your ideas? 9 years ago
OneNote - the Windows Key + N will pop open a new quick-note - all synced by OneNote
Awareness by Anthony de Mello
Create a FlipBoard account, create as many private magazines (categories) as you want, install the bookmarklet and flip/bookmark away.
Both -- there is so much to learn and forget -- practice and note taking is essential.
If a book has 30 pages in a chapter, I'll always have about 2 pages of notes at the end of it. So at the end of a book I usually have a 24 page mini-book/doc that I can refresh my memory quickly. In fact, I read these mini-books all the time when I'm stuck in traffic or waiting on anything.
Ran alter table sql that changed the column type from money to int causing the db to round the values in the column, dropping the cent values from all line-items -- had to restore values from backup.
The mother uses it all the time to get the latest Lotto numbers.
I use Flipboard for my bookmarks, I have about 10 private mags that I flip bookmarks into.
I've found saving bookmarks just to my browser tends to be a bit of a black hole, stuff goes in, but never comes out.
Show HN: WishBin – Superpowered wishlists for Amazon 11 years ago
This isn't something I'd use myself -- but I just wanted to say 'great job' with the onboarding, I immediately got the use-case after looking at the 'How's it work' instructions.
I wish more sites would do that.

I'd be more concerned your startup idea is a bad idea :-) -- if you're a Pro .Net Developer with 'deep' knowledge of the stack, go with that.
Good job.
Heads up... seems to be two <head> tags on your home page.
As long as you have a skill set that the market wants... you won't have any problems.
Unlikely to visit very often if it's just opening times...what I want is to be able to give feedback!
Two things that annoy me about SuperValu, Deansgrange...over-charging (I only bought one punnet of blueberries Mr SuperValu, not TWO!)...and constant out-of-stocks of products I want to buy.
There... I feel better after that.
Can someone give me a good reason to visit Pinterest?..and I don't like Cats or Babies!

Ask HN: Worth spending $6000 on this domain? 13 years ago
You'd be mad to pay six grand for that domain -- promostudio is better.

Show HN: Pinterest for text 13 years ago
Nice implementation.
I don't like Facebook only logins, always good to offer the email & password reg option.
It would be nice if more than one quote was saved from an article, that it would become a bulleted list - with the page title pulled in as well for the list.
Maybe publishers/bloggers may be interesting in curating three or four good quotes from their articles into a short summary, then promote thorough QuoteRed.

The web design feature I hate the most is when a site freezes the right or left hand column, after I begin to scroll the page...ggrrrrr!
If you're just testing, use winhost.com - Cheap as Chips.

Ask HN: Whats the best captcha service 13 years ago
Just use a a challenge/response question.
What is the hottest season? What is the coldest season? Capital city of the UK? What are the last three letters of the capital city of the UK?
.. and so on.
Better still to select a question specific to your usergroup.

Really horrible! They should adopt the HN design philosophy -- less is more!
Are you targeting the SME market?
1. Lots of companies bring their sales staff away on motivational trips. Phone them up, get all the details (you do all the leg work for them!.. take the pain out of organising/booking something like that).
2. You're in Ireland...target the London market.
