Most of the gain seems to come from choosing a much smaller program. Frame implements enough X11 for this one desktop and leaves out decades of compatibility work that a compiler would still have to preserve.

Feedback has been very positive so far - customers are finding it makes the initial screening process much easier. One advantage over Google Docs is the ability to do time-shifted interviews, making it a good first filter for job postings.

Feel free to drop me a mail and we can chat further.

You may find http://www.interviewzen.com/ useful. It's a hiring tool I'm building around the idea that you can tell a lot about someone's coding ability by seeing them in action.

Inspired by the recent submission from cdixon (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1190710) regarding developing new startup ideas and being the "opposite of secret", I thought we could put the theory into practice.

I agree that when I am absorbed in a task, time passes quickly. But I'm not sure it's a measure of productivity. An evening can be over too quickly if you fill it with dinner and a good movie.

However, waking up always catches me by surprise.

Fantastic video, thanks very much.

There seems to be momentum gathering to improve education. Watching Bill Gate's TED video this morning and now this (albeit perhaps more motivational than educational), I'm aware this is a topic which fundamentally interests me but haven't considered yet. It seems an area ripe for innovation in the same way we've seen happen in computing.
