This is phenomenal.


This is amazing and awesome and I've totally installed it on my phone.

I don't want to actually go to Applebees to try it out, though.


I'll reiterate what everyone here has said: you're not going to change the world right now, and putting yourself under that kind of pressure is bad for you. If you enjoy coding and building things, then find a company to work for where you can hone your skills and make decent money doing what you love. The best part of that is after your work day is done, so are you, you can then spend some time chilling and living your life. It's not sustainable to spend your entire waking day working and learning, you need to balance it or you'll lose it.

Being an entrepreneur isn't for everyone. There's no shame in admitting that it isn't for you. There's plenty of great work out there that doesn't require you putting it all on your shoulders.


Obviously the top graphic (Octocat as Mega Man) needs to be a t-shirt. Sooner rather than later.


Couldn't agree more. I got it from the excellent collection here: http://octodex.github.com/


So many of those beg to be t-shirts.


Unfortunately, from the FAQ[1]:

Q: Can I create a product containing an octocat?

You may not use an octocat, created by GitHub or by you, for products or merchandise without written permission from GitHub. This includes, but is not limited to t-shirts, toys, stickers, etc.

THANK. YOU.


This is awesome! I had no idea that you could programmatically do this (I still consider myself a novice even though I've been professionally coding for two years). Very, very cool!

Now I kinda want to try this.


I upgraded last night and haven't had any kinks. The only thing I had to do was re-set my maven environment variables for some reason (and was prompted to install a Java runtime when I opened IntelliJ, but that was an automatic process).

Other than that...no kinks. It's been a pretty smooth transition...just trying to get used to having menus on both monitors (which is AWESOME)


You never NEEDED two. All two did was make it easier to copy disks, and sometimes make it so you changed disks less often.


Yup, me too. Put the DOS disk in start up the computer, then switch disks as you needed to to run programs. That was so fun!


See, my first computer was a Tandy 1000 and it just ran off of floppies and RAM. No hard drive. My mind was blown when we upgraded to a Windows 3.1 system that not only had a hard drive, but also a 3.5" floppy drive. WHOA, SMALLER DISKS.


Oh man, yea...I never installed anything with THAT many disks...I think the biggest one was 7 or 8 floppies...which took several hours.

I kinda miss those days. Sometimes.
