Who else is hacking a project instead of watching the Super Bowl?

I'm curious to poll the HN community to see who is working instead of watching the Super Bowl?

That's what I'm talking about. I'm sure that the super bowl is awesome, but now that I have my weekend project (http://goo.gl/JdBqR) out of the way, I am working on the backend.
I'm working on my startup. I figured if I can be watching the game I can be working just as well. Work won. :)
Count me in; I'm lying in bed with my laptop, hacking (and checking HN every now and then) right now. ATM, I'm trying to remake myself into a UI person (well, at least a half-assed UI person) and trying to clean-up the user-profile form for Quoddy[1]. To hell with football, the Dolphins aren't in the SB, and there's code to be written...

"there's code to be written..."

So true.

I should have gone for a way to work in a reference to this quote:

There are worlds out there where the skies are burning, where the seas asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke, and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice...and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on Ace...we've got work to do!

Oh well, maybe next time...

Do you know how much Karma you need to create a poll? I don't believe I have enough, or don't know how to.
I swear I read somewhere there was a high karma limit. Guess not, thanks.
It was 200 when it lauched a couple of years ago, not any more.
Working on my startup, getting ready to launch this month, although I think its wonderful that the rest of my nation is really into a Superb Owl.
Just got done with a 2-3 week binge of programming, taking time to regroup and refocus.

Just got done reorganizing all of my research in one note, loaded up on skydrive (impressive how far live has come since I last looked).

Ran across this device which I must own: http://www.wirelessgoodness.com/2011/02/04/noteslate-the-100...

Toying with the idea of dumping all of my research out of one note and into the interwebs, raw. Haven't decided one way or another yet.

Count me in! I am in a bookstore checking HN and putting together some physics related data in Lisp (if this can be considered hacking of course).
Just for the record, I am multi-tasking as well.
Multi-tasking! Programming isnt really something you can multi task, but I'm only watching forthe commercials and half time show.
What's a superbowl? Im at the office building a desk for a new dev starting tomorrow, doing some wireframes, and then working on my side project.
If by hacking project, you mean, "writing my senior thesis," then yes!

And if by "writing my senior thesis," you mean, going onto HN instead, then double-yes!

Not watching the super bowl to write python for my PhD project, but instead checking HN.
In Wisconsin it is sacrilegious to not watch a Packer game; that said I am still on HN.
Why choose? :)

I am watching the game (Packers just scored) while working on a hobby game project.

Define "hacking" and "project" please. Well, I'm doing something with PHP and CSS. Does it count?
I'm in the home office with a hot cup of Casi Cielo working in the bowels of CoreText and Quartz for a huge feature update to my iPhone/iPad app. When I need an eyeball break, I walk into the living room to see if I can catch a cool commercial)
...is that today?

I've been busy hacking for weeks, didn't even notice.

Working on my site so i can launch my freelance web design & UX business!

Time to get back to wrestling with the CSS, which isn't always easy for us right-brained types :)

The super bowl isn't going to code my start-up project for me!
I had no idea the super bowl was on today. Or this month...
The only competition going on that I'm aware of is a three-way match-up between python, javascript, and my brain.
I'm tutoring a compsci student. Does that count?
My bowl game happens to be between Postgre and MySQL. My development environment MySQL instance and Heroku's Postgre are very different with aggregate functions.

i.e. How can I possibly select parent rows where ALL children match a certain criteria.
