robmnl··on Ask YC: Does competition motivate you?
It motivates me to try harder, to deliver something exceptional.

But it's not the main driver behind what I do.

robmnl··on Any feedback appreciated for Ajax IRC/Telnet/games project
Ok, so it's a chat site, with collaborative apps, and games. Actually quite fun, I just played a puzzle with you :)

For sure nice work.

robmnl··on Any feedback appreciated for Ajax IRC/Telnet/games project
What is it?

I might be slow but I have no idea what the site does :)

Definitely looks like you put a lot of work into it, so let me know what it is.

robmnl··on Ask YC: The way hackers plan software
Try looking into agile methods, might be exactly what you need.
robmnl··on Is Hacker News just for YC startups or is everyone invited ?
Everyone seems to be invited. I enjoy it :) Great crowd.

Job posts are just for YC startups, afaik.

robmnl··on Ask News YC: Making connections
> Why do you need to promote your startup somewhere other than on the internet? You got a point.

Anywhere I can sign up to be notified when you launch?

robmnl··on jRails - jQuery on Rails
I've moved from prototype to jQuery - I highly recommend it.
robmnl··on Giving away SliceHost invite
yeah, it's crazy. they've been swamped. doesn't look like anyone's interested anymore, I received no email :)

I'll go with EC2 or Softlayer instead.

robmnl··on Ask YC: Quality time on the web
Thanks, those educational recommendations are nice.

Joining an open source project, or helping people out in a technical forum is honorable, but not what I'm looking for, since coding is what I usually do. Love citeseer and damninteresting.

I guess I'll go pick up some old books of mine too.

Thanks, keep stuff coming.

robmnl··on Ask YC: What new technologies are you exploring?
Not really new at all, but the approach is: I started using just javascript to develop web apps - no server - the apps just interface with a server to get and post data.

That's fun, especially with jQuery, which I highly recommend.

robmnl··on Do you have a favorite tv show?
Definitely Dexter. Was never big on TV, but this one caught my attention and I look forward to it every Sunday.
robmnl··on Ask YC: Can you help me pick a good domain name?
Thanks everyone for your help, keep it coming.
robmnl··on Ask YC: Can you help me pick a good domain name?
nice to type, not sure I'd like to use it everyday.

hard to come up with a name for this.

robmnl··on Ask YC: Can you help me pick a good domain name?
That's kind of nice, just not to crazy about the word umoja. But nice technique to find a good name.
robmnl··on Ask YC: Can you help me pick a good domain name?
that's a nice one, I'll consider that, thanks. :)
robmnl··on Ask YC: Can you help me pick a good domain name?
Makes sense, thanks.
robmnl··on Ask YC: Can you help me pick a good domain name?
yep, kinda hard
robmnl··on Ask YC: Can you help me pick a good domain name?
yeah I thought about using uno since more is available - though I prefer 'one' a bit more.
robmnl··on Ask YC: Object databases
Thanks for the recommendations, I'm checking it out.
robmnl··on Rejected YC Winners Voting
That's cool, let us know. Definitely no badmouthing, I like these guys/girl, they're cool.
robmnl··on Amazon Startup Challenge
Haven't received one either.
robmnl··on Ask YC: Your bug tracker
Thank you very much for the feedback.
robmnl··on Simplicity
No way.... Tell me that's not true. I'm one of those addicted text selecting text as I read it, that would kill me.
robmnl··on Simplicity
Oh god, I shiver when I just think of those. Leave the innocent links alone.

Agree 100% on vanilla. Unstyled websites are actually quite sexy.

robmnl··on Adobe will drop desktop apps to become web only
There's always going to be free services, don't worry. I'm sure the open source crowd won't stay far behind, they're able to innovate far faster.
robmnl··on Ask News YC: What market is your startup in?
true point. the thing is, are the people that own the sailboats going to use it? and all the other people who might have useful stuff? the thing is to reach a critical mass, I haven't done that before, but is possible for sure, just takes some time. best of luck with you project, sign me up for beta invites if you are going to work on it.
