lol are you me? There was also a loophole with the coupons where it only used the total before discounts to validate the limit was met, so you could buy something that was $10 or 2 for $15, but the 2 would count as $20 towards your $40 limit.

I moved away from Seattle a while back so I'm not sure if they ever closed that one. I really miss getting all those cheap groceries!


It really reads like a LinkedIn engagement post.


Seems reasonable for (open) self-promotion in an industry forum.


Ah no, not linkedin!

I hadn't heard of Jot before. Looks really interesting and useful for a bunch of applications.


Maybe because when a product "seems" too light, people actually complain about it. Beats is all about perceived value vs actual quality anyway.

Remember when the iPhone 5 was deemed too light?

I've been told by people that my sense of humor is actually pretty normal/average.


Thanks for the feedback!

I know, the spinner looks terrible! I just haven't gotten around to making it look better since most people will probably use the bookmarklet if they use it at all. Same with the I'm feeling lucky button, just wanted to make it easy for people to see the proof of concept without going to twitter, copying and pasting.


Very nice! I was working on a similar concept, though more for streaming location data rather than GeoJSON (drawing mobile device paths, visualizing accuracy, etc).

I haven't gotten around to making an official blog post announcement but it's here on github for anyone who is interested: https://github.com/hungtruong/pinbin


cool hung, that's where geobin came from. A need to visualize geo data that we were posting from a mobile device to a server :)

I took a look and pinbin's data format would work on geobin if it were moved from the url parameters into the POST body, because we look for more than just GeoJSON, but it does have to be valid JSON in the POST body: https://github.com/esripdx/geobin.io#how-do-we-find-geograph...


Awesome! I once wrote a boggle solver to beat my friends at Bogglific on Facebook. It was loads of fun until I was banned from the game.

Also, my solution can easily do boards up to 30*30 or so


Heh, I was mainly out to beat my co-workers, though if one of my co-workers was a fellow programmer I'd probably have had to improve on my algorithm.


Yeah it's kind of unneccesary, I just wanted to see how fast I could get it :)


Do you have the code for it? I didn't see the code on your blog? I would be interested to see how it worked.


I just checked my old archive folders and it looks like the code was lost when Dreamhost borked up my home directory a few years back. I assure you it was pretty gross :)


I'm not seeing the keyword stats, either. Could be a premium feature?
