Interesting idea. I would like to hear some opinions about this.
cartab··on Ask HN: Moving our Startup to Sillicon Valley for Sucess?
jason,

Not at all. I feel Miami is empty in terms of investors for startups. I may be wrong, but thats what I've felt.

thegyppo, no. this idea came from Webbynode's Readystack system which we developed about 2 years before linode decided to launch their version (they launched it February 9, 2010, we did 2008). (Yes, we're the guys behind Webbynode)

This is our original concept, back from 2008, they launched theirs in 2009.

Check this out http://www.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4459&highli... and also our original 'readystack' idea post http://blog.webbynode.com/2008/10/29/webbystacks/

This is our original concept, back from 2008.

The social part is, imagine like a github, where people put up code and you can see it? Same thing with stackfu. People can put up stacks and you can deploy them to your server.

Example: A user made a stack for Rails, you need rails, you go and deploy the guy's Rails stack. You'll be able to make a copy of it, edit it, review it, and make it yours if you want, fix it update and push your own version so other people can deploy it.

cartab··on Artsy Hacks: Awesome Caricatures by Patrick Strogulski
Honestly, I just thought it sounded original ;) You know, Hacks that are Artsy! I think Artists are also geeks, and creating some of those amazing art pieces is a hack!

I guess Its just an idea I had. Again, its meant to be something entertaining for peeps here. Every now and then I write posts myself, but I prefer to showcase nice finds out on the internet, specially ones that may be worth looking at.

Some 'hackers' don't go out to the art/design world, so I may as well bring some of that world to them, at least the stuff that is interesting.

I post them up because, I think its good content and people here seem to appreciate it. I think its because hackers also appreciate art, and looking at these pics for 5 mins, simply just rests your eyes for bit.

Same reason why I post up slides, kinda changing the format a bit.

cartab··on New live music related startup... feedback anyone?
I think it should at least explain something. "Re-Live Great Times" doesn't mean much.
