I've had then sporadically but never had an idea what got me into them.

My friend Jeff, a designer, had a great blog post about this.

I spent the last four years doing web development while on playing drums in multiple touring bands. I got to travel abroad for free, and meet great people through it.

Unfortunately I remember very little of this time because I was taking on freelance projects to make side money and using mobile broadband to work in the van. It was incredibly stressful and one of the worst ideas. Multitasking the two jobs just burned me out quicker.

I wish I had planned it all out better so I could actually enjoy it fully. If you're going to travel, make sure you have the time to actually experience it.

For what it's worth I've really enjoyed some of your output during that time though, I was actually listening to one of the o pioneers pink couch recording earlier today. Sorry to hear it burned you out though, I can definitely see how that'd happen trying to tour and work freelance simultaneously.

Thanks! I really want to get back to recording those sessions but it's so hard to get up and running.

Thanks glibgil.

triangleman, I'm not sure why I was hellbanned. After 100+ days of lurking and a handful posts/comments, I decided today to start trying to start participating again. My comment history is pretty vanilla, with one random link that I don't remember even posting on the Uber article and didn't even make any sense in the context of the article.

Also, there was never a deleted offensive comment on my account, so I'm not sure why I would be hell-banned. Is there anything I can do to reverse this?

That account was not banned.

All: please follow the HN guidelines and email us (hn@ycombinator.com) rather than posting in the threads. There are two reasons: (a) it's the only reliable way to get things like this fixed, and (b) these meta-subthreads add noise.

On Chrome v37, if you change the theme, the "Download Now" button breaks.

A lot of the UI elements are really great, especially the Views section.

Minihack works well, although the hit areas get a little wonky sometimes.

I'm dealing with that right now. Completely negating someone's opinion only shuts down communication. It's all in the phrasing and makes it sound like you are on different teams, especially in a work environment.

When doing consulting and engaging a sensitive issue, I always begin with, "Correct if I'm wrong, is this how this feature is supposed to work..."

What this does is diffuse a tense situation and allow the client to issue a correction without feeling bad.

I think that's a great approach, especially when handling a new client. The worst situation is landing a client who also personally designed or developed the last iteration of their website or app. They need to be dislodged from the work they've done and sometimes that takes kid gloves.
