Thanks. I thought about the ability to select the element. I've got an idea for how to implement it and that's the first update I plan on making. Also I plan on having a github page up for this soon.

Right now the app has around 150 predefined "scribbles" that are randomly sized and placed around the canvas. I'm working on making them randomly rotated as well.

Thanks, I didn't see that. I tend to like the back button, I just think they could have done it better. I think I probably will end up putting together some type of array driven navigation, where I can provide the workflow ahead of time.

I built it RoR on the heroku system.

As for the privacy policy, I've been meaning to put that together. On the site, nothing is shared. Your information is entirely private.

Understandable about the posterous link. It's just a link to my blog.

Thanks for the feedback.

for the main ideas, I just use a new book. As for subtopics and switching them around, I would use the chapters section, which is completely sortable.

Sounds good, also we've set up a Google Group you can sign up for.

Do you have an email address I could contact you at?

My is bradleyt (dot) marsh (at) gmail

Thanks,

No I was there. I'm Brad if that helps.

No, but the tax system is better there.

Update: The first Minneapolis meetup will be on Wednesday, July 14 at 6pm at the 5-8 Club.

Map and details can be seen at link below:

Based upon the response to my post on here this morning, we are going to have the first Minneapolis HN Meetup next Wednesday, July 14 at 6pm at the 5 8 Club. A map is included in the post if you need it.

Just a quick update, about 10 people have already emailed me, so if you're interested let me know, so that if I have to find us a conference room somewhere I'll have time to do it.

I think that at least one other person I've gotten an email from is in the Eagan area, and I work in the South Saint Paul area. Hope that helps.

Currently I'm checking with people to see if sometime later next week would work for people?

Right now I'm thinking we meet at a starbucks or a caribou, unless we get a lot of people and then I'll find a conference room somewhere.

Send me an email and I'll add you to the list I'm compiling.

I've already got a couple of emails, so if you want to send me yours I'll send out a message out to the list here in a few hours to start discussing when and where.

Every time I go to start a new project I have the dilemma of wanting to try something new, while at the same time wanting to produce something quickly. This is my take on how it's affecting my current project.

Lulu.com and CreateSpace.com are both good for this.

I proofread the book. I guess I should have proof read the blog post.

Here's a link to my new novel writing software project and the reasons I think it's going to be successful. I'm curious to know whether you all would consider this a success as well?

nope, just php. If it turns out to get some hits I might, rebuild it on the App Engine with python, but for now I just wanted to test the idea.

I had this idea for a twitter game the other day, so I spent yesterday building it, and this morning launching it. It a quick test to see how well the people following you are paying attention. Was wondering if I couldn't get your guys' opinions and feedback. Thanks. Also my email is bradleyt.marsh at gmail.com if you find any bugs or anything.

pg, can you add a page that simply lists out the members that are currently logged in to the site?

I lost my job, but am using this opportunity to do my second startup. My first one was profitable, so I'm hoping I can do it again.

If you need location information I have a ton of it already at hackrtrackr.com, tell me what you need and maybe i can set you up a feed. bradleyt dot marsh at gmail

you can see members of news.ycombinator.com by region at http://www.hackrtrackr.com

PG, If you could add a "Working On" or "Working For" element to our user profiles, or if everyone decided on a standard format, we could create a nice little widget with the Crunchbase API.

Brilliant.

Are people from the US allowed to apply?

http://www.hackrtrackr.com shows that a kevTheDev is coming from Brighton.

I'll take care of that. Thanks.
