theoutlanderon What webhost do you use for your startup?

I would recommend getting a machine and getting acquainted with the process of shell access (if you are not comfortable without a UI)...also u can do some real benchmarking as far as the hardware and bandwidth is concerned ... I pay $179 for a very basic server and it is a great experience! It works better for me because I cannot host at home as I need a larger pipe for demos!!

theoutlanderon How many teams who live in the SF Bay Area opted to wait until the winter round?

theoutlanderon Looking for additional 'hacker' cofounder - LA/OC/SD

I have added u on gmail ... lets discuss

theoutlanderon Rejected because my cofounder wouldn't move!

Now that I have been rejected by PG, I am not disappointed, rather angry at myself for teaming up with a co-founder who wasn't on the same page as me! So, I am leaving Redmond to move on with my life and establish the startup in the San Francisco area. I have a GREAT idea that people WANT! I am mainly looking for like-minded people who are great hackers and are not afraid to embrace new technologies. SERIOUS ENTREPRENEURS please contact me at: theoutlander at gmail and we can discuss further...

On a side note, thanks PG for such a great opportunity!! Everyone that is selected has a lot work ahead of them ;-)....good luck to all!

theoutlanderon Which Programming Language did you pick for your idea?

I am running some basic stuff ... but notice the occasional 500's ... IRC / Web states that Pound with Lighttpd and Instances of Mongrel is really the best solution ... however, mongrel's site states that Lighttpd's mod_proxy still has issues....so I am really baffled with what is a proven solution... I am just gonna run some tests before I conclude...
