Thanks a lot. Do you know the IRC channel for hn by any chance? I saw somebody mentioning it but never got to write it down.

Used to be some discussion in #startups @ irc.freenode.net, not sure if it's still active

More active than it ever has been before. Currently 335 people in the channel, and there's been effectively constant conversation for months (a year?) now.

Awesome. Gonna check it out once i get home. thnx

With 100 upvotes in the first hour, I would imagine a fairly large percentage of the Hacker News community thinks this is useful. Or (more likely) funny.

It's not just amusing -- it's a clever, unique and interesting solution to a common problem, however pyrrhic[1] the victory might be.
