Rewriting all the back end software for a big kids' TV show site (www.icarly.com). Recently launched polling system and search system (reverse index). Entire site is generated as static pages + JS data so we can server the 4 million registered users and 270 TB video/month off of one box (with Akamai's help). Next up: the user registration/login and user generated content management systems.

1886 is short. Anyone else surprised?

A free ear training and music theory software http://www.trainear.com/ that few people use because no one cares about ear training and music theory

I've used it, it rules. jimmyr.com is pretty cool too, used to be my homepage.

Looking for people to work on interesting projects or people who need help working on interesting projects. Anything unixy/obj-c/system services/web stuff-related.

What do you have in mind? I can do objective-c/mac/cocoa/iphone stuff. Until recently I was working with a startup, where I wrote the beginnings of a Pandora-like music streaming service.

I'd love to join another startup.
