I've been working with ScriptEd in San Francisco and it's also been awesome! It's really special to be a part of their program and see the impact they're having on local kids and community.

I managed to set one up last week with Wells Fargo. They wouldn't set up a credit account without a SSN, but I have check and savings. Granted, it was because I'm moving there next week, but the process only took an hour, and a few scanned

Colour scheme is awesome! I think its use is somewhat limited until there's search by genre however, when compared to last.fm events at least. With so many bands around it's hard to think of one to search to see if they've got any gigs on.

I have struggled for a while to get PeepOpen and MacVim working together. I can run :PeepOpen, and it will switch to the running peepopen application, but it doesn't load up with the project files. I've tried all sorts of .vimrc config sett

Touché. It all seems rather petty, though. They can either both allow ads, or both ban ads, and the public probably doesn't care which scenario happens.

I first read GEB 2 years ago and was similarly mind-blown. I found that it didn't answer any questions, but it did ask a lot. I would consider essential reading for anyone studying AI, and indeed for anyone with a curious mind. I'm also in
