Oh crap, I forgot there even was an IRC channel!

I'll fix this and credit you for a year due to the fact that you had to come to HN for actual support. The underlying issue is sometimes I burn out and flee to the woods/southern ocean for a while. But my bad work habits shouldn't be your problem.




Ha, thanks for responding. And my apologies, I was frustrated and not in the best of moods, and I don't really stand behind what I said (completely). The truth is that I think a big 'problem' in my society is not just the business-side, but the consumer-side expectations/demands too.

I don't actually mind that sometimes things don't run as smoothly as they would for a product that has an entire team and/or dedicated support behind it (or appear do so to at least), and in fact I think it's part of the agreement, in a way. If I like the fact that you're a one-man shop, I should also accept some of the downsides.

Anyways, things are working now, thanks! I'm curious: what happened there? Was it just my account?

Also, turns out pinboard does index notes. Awesome!


Wait, pinboard indexes notes? I really doubt that. Is it possible it's indexing the bookmarks pointing to the notes? Those get pre-populated with the first N characters of the note content.

Could you email me your pinboard username? I appreciate your kind words but am serious about comping you.

I fixed fulltext search that was falling over on a caching server, so it affected a bunch of users besides you.


Yeah, you're right. I did a search for a word in the first sentence of a note and that works, but searching further down doesn't work. Consider the notes indexing a feature request :).

I'll email you my details, thanks.


I read your earlier comment last night and noticed that feature didn't work for me either. I was just about to email support this morning when I saw the replies, so I double-checked and it's now fixed for me too. So it wasn't just your account.


that quote from the economist on the pinboard site is great. cheers.
