virtual host Source dedicated servers ▲ 1
implement something similar to vhosts in apache for Source servers so that operators can run servers on different ports but only require that people know a particular hostname to connect.
maybe we could have something that listens on 27015 and dispatches to the correct server based on the requested hostname. thought this could be tricky if source traffic doesn't have the hostname information in it when clients try to connect. HTTP has the "Host:" header in all requests so they have it a little bit easier.

Chrome extension to overlay todo list on HN and reddit and other distractions ▲ 4
From this Hacker News comment
Hah! That's not a bad idea actually. Maybe extend it a bit so that it will only show you X# of posts until an item is checked off the todo. Get them all checked off and you can see everything on the front page again?
Personally, I can ignore a checkbox, but I have a very hard time lying to one.
