Octane is full tonight, we had to battle for a table.

Tonight:

— made by the original Flickr folks
— has beautiful illustrations, and an API!
John:

– “like Rack/WSGI for testing frameworks”
– for making all your continuous-integration/failure-notification/etc tools work with whatever wacky Ruby testing framework you’re using
Diana:

Also, I cleaned out the “subscribers” from the WordPress database just now, because it was mostly spam. If you’re an Atlhacker without an author account, let me (Mark) know and I’ll create an account for you.
Nice, lots of hacks!
Awesome, you guys! Emily, I am also loving Glitch. I’m Marilyn the Intent! This is the best implementation of the API I’ve seen so far: http://zoggish.appspot.com/
Rob, Kelly’s been doing lots of stuff with Unity at our ClassyHack meetups, which you may already know.
