Took a little offence to the fixed gear thing, I have a fixed gear bike, it was bought new and cheap, rides well, is fantastic in traffic, except near the pavement riding past a car since it can hit the pavement, but I know I can fix any component on it (ie diskbrakes) and it's very responsive.
I'm definitely not a hipster, so maybe it's an age thing, I like the simplicity of certain things, don't like multi-tasking in my free time and believe in single purpose items wherever possible, like my bedroom doesn't have a tv, I don't read emails or chat online while watching tv, etc.
While I don't think it'd be great for typos and such I feel this would be a good way of getting the material down as a first draft ? Like a programmer coding, but continuously working out a better way to do it and going back to fix / refactor etc, there's just no forward progression or completion on the horizon.
For the longest time i've just wanted to setup something simple for getting my box at home to download stuff, not having NAT and UPNP and DynDNS kept me from doing this, in 30 minutes I hacked the blog example apart and got it to accept a name and link which I now export into a RSS feed which bittorrent can pick up, all running on the VERY slow laptop which I use for it, no RD or Log Me In or anything overblown like that just a happy lil downloading box... I guess I should password protect my lil app though otherwise I might find some really wierd stuff downloading on the box (at the moment it's plausable deniability, ha ha ha)
