haha. All we're going for is a way to help our students (coding newbies) to get more involved in reading Hacker News and the coding community. I'm open to all suggestions on how to improve this jrode.

I love this more than for just ssh. I added a few other common commands into the menu for easy access.

That is a great idea. Thanks!

Yep. Also, I understand what other people are saying about already having aliases, I do too. But, as a visual list of servers I can ssh into it is a nice reminder. Plus there are some files that I edit only from time to time (php.ini, apache config, etc). I made shortcuts that throw those files into my editor. Call me an amateur, but when I have to edit some of those my first question is usually, where the hell is that file again? Anyway, I find this tool useful.

Adding this css changed my whole impression of the site. (I just inserted at the top w/ firebug, had to add !important to the .deadly-subtitle styles.)

I agree, without this css I almost feel insulted by the header. With the css it's fine.

What's sad is that ALA now feels... ordinary. It used to be very aesthetically pleasing, now it's just boring (my opinion).

Everything you just said, plus the non-scaled header and footer image/text gives it a non-responsive feel, the search bar intrudes on the top nav...sheesh. The design of the comments is cool.

I felt hornswaggled when I finished the first one and saw that the next one costed $4.99. I had just signed up too. When I clicked to try it I did so because it clearly stated "You can only get better, and it's free." However this was a flat lie. I looked for a way to delete my account but could not find one. I felt deceived.

I just checked back at the site without logging in and it even says "Save your progress to unlock" for the next modules. "Save your progress" is a euphemism for "sign up" and then when you do that it doesn't actually unlock. $4.99 unlocks the module. Wow.

Hi jrode,

Sorry that the site left a bad impression on you. We were trying to get across that "it's free" applied to the fact that "trying it" (the main action) was free. We'll make this clearer.

By the way, we will have more free courses (there are two which are completely free right now). It's just a matter of time.

Sorry also about not having a way to delete your account -- it was an oversight, and it will be corrected.

Finally, you're right that the "Save your progress to unlock" copy is, in fact, incorrect. We'll make sure to get it right.

Thank you for your feedback!

Hey, thanks. I really liked the site by the way, it is very nicely done. I also understand why you would charge for the modules, and you should. Just thought it could be more clear. Again, thanks for responding.

Many people don't work where they want, or even in their desired field. Perhaps lower your standards until your financial crisis is over?
