FYI, so I thought "Ok, I might try it for something simple" and signed up. Got an error that I hadn't accepted the terms/conditions, which incidentally, are very easy to miss. So I checked the button again, after re-entering my password. Then, I mind-farted and wrote "June" for the 5th month of the year, so the submission failed again. After re-entering my password a second time, and re-checking the terms and conditions box, and re-entering the captcha answer, on the third request, got an error that my "About You" wasn't long enough.*
Then, I gave up.
Full text was: "Learning ruby & javascript. Will host some simple one page apps with Sinatra. Current project: simple anagram finder." What else do you need here?
