I'm working on some mathematical models of the flirting signaling process and some other social phenomena. I'm hoping to get some interesting / nontrivial existence and/or impossibility results with cool qualitative interpretations out of it

#93Launching a digital marketing startup. I've had the opportunity to fully immerse myself in the CodeIgniter framework and I love it. I have used it to build a custom CRM and also an internal tool that will allow us to launch new micro sites in 60 seconds, including buying the domain name, parking them on the server, and spinning the content and publishing everything. Very fun.
Have learned a lot about linkbuilding and SEO as well. It's interesting to play with different linkbuilding techniques and watch the results happen in just a few days because of how low the competition is in our niches. Am planning on developing a fully automated linkbuilding tool that will require me to wear my gray hat while I work ;-)

#94Brick and Mortar startup, with online enhancements: Currently in the process of purchasing an art gallery space in Denver, which we will renovate, and hopefully open in the fall of 2010. (Would be sooner, but we are having a baby in the spring.) I intend to have an exhibition every 3 months that will seek to blend technology with a physical installation of some kind. Details TBD, based on online collaboration -- The…
Where/when/how will you announce? I'm not in the art world, so I wouldn't naturally see the announcement, but I would like to visit.
There is an organization in Denver that markets the Art District. I'll likely join them, and therefore be included in their marketing. Otherwise, the location I am working on gets a lot of traffic, and the sign in front will be the major announcement.
Our web site will also have an announcement -- it is currently just my wife's blog, but is connected to her etsy shop, so we do have a small following.
If there is interest, I can post on HN as well. I wasn't sure if the community here would have a strong interest in my project or not...
Finally, simply word of mouth - as my day job will pay the mortgage on the property, I don't actually need to profit, so I can just work with my friends on the first few shows, and get the world out gradually.
In terms of timing, I am hoping for August. Once we actually move in (hopefully on the 31st), we need to physically prepare the location (needs new floors, doors, drywall, lights, things like that). So there is quite a bit of work to do yet.

#95I have been working on a health\food tracking site www.eat.ly as well as one other unlaunched project. A simple blog project that has been going well is www.multiplayergames.com which is in need of some buddypress\wordpressMU and design help, but since it continues to perform well I am hesitant to change anything. Outside of those a handful of other smaller projects:)
How well?

How does the CRM compare with sugar? I've been looking to replace that for a while.

#97I'm working on a realtime strategy game in the browser using "full-duplex" AJAX. I started working on it about a year ago but I had to take a considerable timeout after burning out at my former boring job. It's slowly getting somewhere, though. So why in the browser? Because that makes it instantly hackable! No more bad pathfinding or shitty interfaces to put up with!
Have a demo?

#98Working on a simple, private, short-term mobile group communication tool called Fast Society.
It automatically connects friends who are going to a concert, on vacation, or just out for a night of drinking over SMS and has a ton of cool functions to communicate during and share content after the event.
Launching soon at http://www.fastsociety.com/ (still waiting on carrier approval)

#99Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm only giving the circuit a cursory look, but I thought he wanted a 9V reference voltage added to the sensor voltage going into R7. But I guess a lower reference voltage may be adequate too.
The midpoint voltage of the voltage divider used for the reference is 0.45V, well within the -2.5 to +2.5 swing. The reason why I think it matters is that batteries are a nuisance, they run empty and will cause a problem with long running experiments, so it's worth the extra time to engineer them out of the circuit. From what I can see they're only used to power the op-amp. The 'floating ground' trick is s.o.p. when…
I said reference voltage, but I meant the voltage for the summing amp would need to be 9V if that's the step up range he's going for. I totally agree about eliminating the batteries if possible; I just wasn't sure how to get adequate voltage available to the amp without the 9V batteries. But again, it's been many years since I've even looked at a schematic. The floating ground idea looks extremely cool though.
