I used to say the same thing, then a random (maybe not so random) YouTube suggestion taught me that PHP 8 is a _very_ different language than what I got burned with back in the day (PHP 4)


If I recall right, you used to pick a music directory, and whatever you had there would be indexed and made available to all for downloading. Everything you downloaded would go into that directory as well. Once you find a file you wanted to download, you didn’t download from a pool of people like with bittorrent, but from that one specific user.

If you click on a username, either while searching or while downloading, you could browse everything Napster had indexed. If people didn’t configure Napster right, you could browse their whole C:\ drive. Good times.

Never heard of Beeminder until now. Out of curiosity, what targets do you have that work really well for you?


I have the best experience with targets where data logging works automatically, i.e., where I don't need to bother with manual data input.

- RescueTime: Productive and unproductive time, or specific software/website categories, automatically logged by the computer;

- Draft: Words written every day (just started, but looks promising);

Also successful: binary variables (1 or 0 every day, either done or not done).


Do the redemption keys expire?


Some of them do. I'll add in the expiry date to the redemption key page today/tomorrow.


Instead of giving you a free plan, it gives you a 30 day trial :(


Yep you're right, they just haven't gotten around to updating the copy on the form.

Not sure if blacklight in a dorm is a good idea....


why?


Pretty sure they were making a joke about the appearance of bodily fluid stains under a black light.


This is getting out of hand....
