Just curious on a separate point... what do you like better about Shrib.co over Pastebin?

The main thing for me is the cleaner UI. I like pastebin because of the syntax highlighting (doesn't support VDS however), and it keeps the source formatting (line indenting), but I like shrib.co because it's easier to edit and I can "archive" a version of a note and get back to it if needed. Pastebin does not have a feature like that. I keep backups of my versions, but that is a very convenient feature to have.

I am wondering how I can recompile the source code. I like using this program but the videos folder is created in the root {\} of the drive. Where as the pictures, music, documents folders are created in side the Documents folder. It would take about 2 seconds to fix the bug, but I don't know how to recompile it with. Any help?
