Inception of a Hack
By some evil twist of fate, Me, Premshree, Gopal and Teemus ended up eating dinner at garuda last night and Teemus ended up paying for it, and if you know teemus, you know that money is one thing that Teemus takes seriously. :)
On our way back we were discussing what everyone was doing for the Hackday. I am going out of the country, and Gopal and Prem, out of the city.Teemus was still cribbing about us not returning his money and Gopal suggested we write a Web to point oh app for it. A intranet application for keeping a track of money borrowed or spent and returned. Debt-o-matic.
Back in the office, it was time to have a couple of coffees and get to the design board. Double entry book keeping isn't as easy as it seems. But, We quicky froze a feature set and came up with a simple Mysql schema. It was around 1:30.
Things were going great, I wrote the sql, Premshree was ajaxing, teemus the API and front end and gopalv was generally jumping around being hyper ... which kept us from dozing off, if it were not for him we all would not be coding.
Three coffee breaks later, around 5 am in the morning we had a working version. We borrowed and loaned money :) Teemus was still applying CSS love.
At home at 6 o' clock we slept like happy hackers.

Think of a group of friends/room-mates who hang around together and each one in the group owes money to someone or the other within a group.
And oh yeah, my bad if you already have incorporated this into your hack.
