Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it

What Hacker News says?
This is awesome. A few years back I originally wrote an open source EyeFi server in Python ( http://returnbooleantrue.blogspot.com/2009/04/eye-fi-standal... ).

All of our FreeBSD users told us they were using portsnap, and it's one of the…

HN discussionWhy do you want to get involved in open source projects? For me I never really got "involved" into any open source project. Rather I had ideas floating around that I wanted to do. That's what got me to code this (basically a Python based server for a wireless SD card): http://returnbooleantrue.blogspot.com/2009/04/eye-fi-standal... I open sourced it because I don't have much time to support it. Best way is to find s…

HN discussionHello Jeff, here's your rss url: http://returnbooleantrue.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default , glad I could help you discover it. You don't Have to do anything, you have the choice. Please make a disclosure that you are not a webdesigner/UI, when you critisize the work of a professional webdesigner and I'm fine with the red. Sorry if any of this sounds harsh (not meant to be)
