You gotta share that script or give it a web address

hooande http://pastie.caboo.se/178157 just replace the to and from number and excuse the lack of any error correcting. go out, get a beer, and wait.

So if I make a user called "pgfake" can I make your script send you text messages? Neat.

Good luck to everyone! I admit, I joined with little hopes of getting picked, so just the pleasure of learning about start-ups made it worthwhile.

Thanks YC!

You know that you can scan for his replies on any thread by using the http://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments link, right? Just in case someone starts another "YC e-mails are out!" thread?

I'm curious what part of this sentence says notifications will be sent by April 9th. "We'll review applications by April 9 and invite the groups that seem most promising to meet us in Mountain View on the weekend of April 25-27." I kid, I kid.

Don't forget to check your spam filters just in case! =P. I asked my friend who got accepted and he said that they sent it pretty late and that the email only goes to the leader on the app. Goodluck to everyone!
