  pg was playing drinking games with @ev and he lost a bet? :)
• amjith 15y ago
  Wow, this is news now?
  • haraball 15y ago
    I'd call it interesting news if hackernews got hacked.
  • zyfo 15y ago
    It's not news for hackers anyway.
• jwhitlark 15y ago
  I saw it too. It changed back on refresh.
  • dougaitken 15y ago
    So glad I'm not the only one. Been wracking my brain trying to think why it'd have a rename, even for a day.
    • jwhitlark 15y ago
      I've been checking HN off and on all day, and I only saw it once.
      • dougaitken 15y ago
        sorry, I mean't why it would be renamed, not that it had been. Like when pg puts the blackbar at the top for a death, maybe this was related to something.

      so this was not an hoax? (not just a modified screenshot I mean)
• mcs 15y ago
  I'm not crazy!
  • chrisbennet 15y ago
    Well...the jury is still out on that. ;-)
• eslaught 15y ago
  Was this a test, or vandalization? (If this wasn't intended, I'd review my security settings about now...)

  What does "(click source for full scrnsht)" mean?
  • jarek 15y ago
    The source link is the little square icon with "dl.dropbox.com" text label, it links to http://dl.dropbox.com/u/560599/scrnshts/evnews.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/560599/scrnshts/evnews.png which is the full-size image.
  • dougaitken 15y ago
    i linked the screenshot as the source on my tumblr post. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/560599/scrnshts/evnews.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/560599/scrnshts/evnews.png

  I was just demoing the convenience of the repl to Ev Kontsevoy of Mailgun.
  • dougaitken 15y ago
    How do you mean?
    • seanwoods 15y ago
      Probably attached a repl to a running web server instance and interacted with it "live"?
      • dougaitken 15y ago
        ah! I thought he meant "reply". repl. I'm such a programming n00b.

      • wglb 15y ago
        May well be run from the repl always.
  • noamsml 15y ago
    I'm really amused by the fact that not only do you make visible modifications to a popular site you own as a talking point, but as other comments suggest, you seem to make a habit of it.
    • smokeyj 15y ago
      is this his mother?
• kylec 15y ago
  9 months ago I caught a screenshot of it titled "Katelyn News" as well: http://i.imgur.com/eDzEc.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eDzEc.jpg The green title bar is just my personal setting, that didn't change.
  • veb 15y ago
    nice. gender specific. i'd be able to get rid of my gf. :)
  • dougaitken 15y ago
    Good catch. Wonder if pg was doing something similar
  • katelyndrchrono 15y ago
