I'm just like you -- a developer with an addiction. But my addiction is different... and illegal. I'm not motivated unless I'm high on fake aka K2. If you haven't heard of 'fake', it's basically a really strong marijuana with research chemical additives.
Since gas stations started selling it 3 years ago, I became addicted and when they were banned from selling it I had to find more. I found it online and have been ordering it every since. I leave work early sometimes so I can go smoke it. The only downside I've noticed, is that I'm less sociable (in person) because of how I look when I'm high (red eyes, droopy eyelids) and it makes me tired extremely fast. Sometimes I will wake up at my computer desk wondering when I fell asleep or how long I've been out. I'm sure it's probably not good on my lungs either, but I smoke cigarettes so I'm used to knowing I'm harming my body internally. I just love the way it makes me feel, almost like a reward. I use it as an award for coding something beautiful. "Oh that code actually worked?! Time to smoke."
Off-topic: how do you apply animation to your logo on activation of the browser tab? I loaded your page in a new tab, but the logo animation didn't fire until I viewed that specific tab.
The three rings are in a span. So it's content 'o' in span, the 'o' in :before and 'o' in :after.
Then he uses a -webkit-animation to translate the positions of each ring.
@keyframes logo {
from {opacity:0;transform:scale(2) rotate(359deg);}
to {opacity:1;transform:scale(1) rotate(0deg);}
}
@-webkit-keyframes logo {
from {opacity:0;-webkit-transform:scale(2) rotate(359deg);}
to {opacity:1;-webkit-transform:scale(1) rotate(0deg);}
}
Because somebody posted it and others found it curious and interesting - among them me. I didn't upvote it, but I found the potential explosion velocity surprising. It may not be of interest to you, but hey, I usually ignore like 50% of the HN homepage right away since I don't care about them. However, I don't go run around and post "why is this on HN?" in those threads.
The stickbomb is an interesting device, because it is entirely mathematical, and is thus a great hack because normally, you're using a tongue depressor to .. do depressor'y things ...
