Submission + - NMT Enters the Fray of Large Scale College Pranks

physicsphairy writes: "Perhaps in commemoration of earth day, students at New Mexico Tech placed a seventy pound toilet and pirate flag on top of a 150' clock tower. It was too high to be reached by either the school cherry pickers or the local fire department, and the school had to call a company from out of district to come remove it. No one is quite sure how they got it up there... a rumour on campus is that one of the rock climbers bear-climbed it. Yours truly has some pictures from it being taken down."

Submission + - "Hackety Hack" - A Programming Experience

megastructure writes: As you may recall, Why the lucky stiff challenged the software community to fix what he defined as the Little Coder's Predicament. More than three years later, Why himself worked up his own solution.

Hackety Hack is a simple programming workstation, built (for now) on Ruby. Short programs pack a lot of punch, including simple GUI designing, a built-in database, web feed reading, and lots more. Most exciting of all — you can share your scripts with others with a single click.

Hackety Hack has only now been released in beta form to the general public, after spending a few months in an exclusive alpha-testing group, so there are understandably a number of issues waiting to be ironed out. The latest version can be found here (Windows only). Don't forget to see the lessons built for getting oriented with Hackety Hack.
