Tell HN: I made my first open source contribution.

Yeah, I know, it's really a kind of "so what" Tell HN. But I feel great, and after a long stretch feeling like I was contributing to nothing at my day job, taking some time to improve an open source project has actually made me feel really great.

Of all the communities I'm involved with, this is probably the only one that would recognize this as being even remotely interesting.

For those who want to know, I found an annoying engine limit in cocos2d-iphone that was causing me grief, so I examined the problem and found a fairly simple solution, which I implemented and then made a pull request on github. Link here: https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-iphone/pull/41

It hasn't been accepted yet, but when it does, I'm pretty sure I'm going to feel like a million bucks.
