I'll give it a go ... always been interested in personal analytics.

I like the idea ... signed up!

(as others have mentioned, showing a few samples prior to registration can't hurt)

I like interesting words ...

Clicking on the word reveals it's meaning ... and a reload gets another word.

I'm currently working on harvesting various corpora and on different measures of "interesting".

I might add commenting on specific words and submission of words soon.

I got xanthippe = ill-tempered woman. Do you suppose she was the real reason that Socrates took the hemlock?

she emptied a chamber pot over his head, according to wikipedia.

so, yes ... i don't think he listed her as one of the reasons to not take hemlock.

The problem with the idea of such a website is who decides what is a positive act and what's a negative act ? Maybe some sort of voting mechanism by interested users?

Not really.

ZumoDrive doesn't use space on your drive for it's storage. It simulates a network drive as far as your OS is concerned.

Dropbox actually uses space on your drive , and syncs that across your machines.

So , ignoring local caching done by ZumoDrive , we could think of it being network intensive , whereas Dropbox is space intensive.

(I could be wrong and would love clarification. Also, 'intensive' is probably not the word I'm looking for , but I can't come up with a better one now)

Hmmm... I like dropbox because it works when you are offline vs online only, like on the train, then syncs up when you go online.

Zumodrive has selective sync, so you can keep files local when you want to. ZD is actually less network intensive than dropbox, because only file metadata is synced down from the server until you actually access the file.

Do you have a link for that article? Sounds like something I'd be interested in reading. Thanks.

I think he's talking about this article: http://www.phreedom.org/solar/code/tinype/

> Two of them, John Petrucci and John Myung, spent their high school days fanatically devoted to practice (before applying to Berklee together). During that time they had an agreement with each other to practice their respective instruments six hours a day, and if they hung out in the evening it was with the understanding that they'd finished their six hours practice.

Source? (Not that I doubt what you're saying. I want to read more from where that came from)

It's on Wikipedia, but they also mention in it a lot of their documentaries and stuff, like on their live DVD's where there's usually a disc 2 about it.

thanks.

I don't know of any but this is ,IMO , a very good idea.

(Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me Amichail,and it turns out,that by reading HN , I have subscribed to your newsletter. :) )

Any plans of releasing the source code?

> In the same vain

I think you meant "in the same vein" ... :)

Yes, I did.

But isn't all nonsense vanity in itself?
