Flash's "allow" button is hidden for me (FF3.5, OS X): http://abstractnonsense.com/Screen_shot_2010-01-05_at_1.11.1...

Thank you. I was not aware that could happen. Can you please try again?

No problem - it works now.

Still working on http://www.MyBankTracker.com/ and loving it. Released our iPhone app a couple weeks ago, which runs on MongoDB.

I seem to have invented a new datastructure, so I'm analysing it to check its performance before writing it up and announcing it. I've also invented a variant of an existing data structure that has some nice features. That will accompany it.

In the meantime I'm starting a re-write of my alpha 0.1 web service to help connect people with friends and friends of friends. The existing one still exists, and I'm still collecting comments, so if you'd like to know more, drop me an email.

And I've got a full time day job, and 8 talks/presentations in the next four weeks.

I'd love to read that book once it's published.

I'm starting to think my project seems mundane compared to some on this thread, but I'm bootstrapping a cycling reference site at http://brightspoke.com/. Our mission is to put more people on bikes by creating informed consumers.

We're not quite ready for a "Rate my Statup" post, but you can be sure we'll have one. In fact, I've just been working on a milestone plan for 2010 and that's one of the milestones.

Fixing poverty through water and sanitation: http://akvo.org/ Which is also becoming an open source platform for development aid.

This is great. I remember having to endure a few days without running water in my apartment thanks to burst pipes and wondering how I would cope - then I realised how lucky I was to be having it return eventually. I've had a few conversations with Mexican colleagues who told me how it is common to find people getting sick in some poor coastal towns because they don't know how to build latrines properly. It's such a big issue. I hope you find every success with this.
