Creator here. Agreed! I don't recall how I decided this was the right domain at the time but I think the rare .info TLD made it easier for people to remember. Can't say I'll be using .info for future projects however...

I've found myself using myNoise ( https://mynoise.net ) more than music lately. It has a lot of very high quality natural sound recordings as well as a bunch of synthetic options.

I guess it depends how you define "walled garden", but HipChat is built on top of XMPP: http://help.hipchat.com/knowledgebase/articles/64377-xmpp-ja... . Facebook chat used to be as well, though I'm

A bit off topic, but it'd be interesting to have a guild for the startup/HN crowd. I've been discussing returning to the game with a few tech friends and joining a like-minded group would probably make it a lot more fun.

I did all this a few weeks ago but still had to wait a few weeks for my friends' iPhones to realize my number was no longer iMessage enabled. During that time they all had to "Resend as SMS" on their messages to me. We all en

If you've signed a policy with your employer giving them access to data in the services they pay for, we will have access to provide them, just like they can with the email account they provide you (if they do). They won't be casu

Hey everyone - Garret from HipChat here. I'm sorry for the way we presented this information. We definitely should have explained these changes more clearly, because they do NOT mean that admins can browse your 1-1 chats. Our blog has

It's definitely very bursty. On weekends and holidays things are much more quiet. During peak load we'll be in the hundreds/sec. Also keep in mind that chat messages don't actually make up the majority of the traffic we

Hey - Garret from HipChat here. That support info is not correct, and I'll investigate. All you need to do is go to the billing admin area and select the option to cancel your paid subscription. The message there will tell you that you have

You don't need to identify as "bot", just send a keepalive message (can be a single space, XMPP ping, whatever) every 60 seconds or so. You can also request no history when joining rooms (most bot frameworks do this). It's part of the XMPP

We've been with Atlassian for almost a year now. I hope big initiatives like this Mac app show that we're still working hard on the core product. We've got some great stuff in the works, too.

The gif issue was an Adobe AIR bug, so it's definitely gone now. It was incredibly frustrating having them break functionality that many of our users love, especially because it wasn't possible for us to work around the issue. Sorry about t

Similar story here, but in the late 90s. I used to print out TI-82 calculator apps/games and type them in by hand because my parents wouldn't buy the $60 connector cable. It was surprisingly fun. All my initial programming knowledge came fr
