On my hosting start-up: http://webbynode.com . I am the programmer behind our Manager app. :-) Our main difference is providing ReadyStacks for easy bootstrap of servers: watch the screencast for more info here - http://webbynode.com/railsvimeo .

Oh, hey, cool. I heard about Webbynode with the video that RailsEnvy did documenting the reasons to use it (which I found on Rubyflow). Can't seem to find it right now, but really liked the features. We're on Linode right now, but looking at our other options...

Thanks for your comments! You're most welcomed to give us a try. Is this the video you mentioned:

?

Starting up my second start-up, in the mobile space. Doing customer discovery right now, so it's a bit early to talk about it, but I have high hopes (and no, it's not making iPhone apps). There are a lot of opportunities in mobile if you don't focus on the app store.

Other than that, doing iPhone and (soon) Android consulting to pay the bills.

Yeah, that'd be it! Nice promo.

Any tips on finding "opportunities in mobile if you don't focus on the app store."?

Also how does one get into iPhone consulting. Do you still get paid if your client's app gets rejected?

I'm trying to develop my own mobile device. Going to be fun. Intel Atom 1.6ghz, Ubuntu-based, hopefully some kind of 5" capitative touch, software written in Qt/C++ (for lack of a better framework/X drawing option). http://avecora.com Also working with hnuser://jasonlbaptiste on Ramamia (beta), which lets you keep in touch with your family. http://ramamia.com -- as well as status updates for sports games at http://ti…

Lastly, working to study/improve SAT/ACT/SATIIs/my abysmal GPA so I can actually get into a decent college come this fall...

Enjoy having no time for your personal projects and instead having to do mindless "introduction to cutting-and-pasting java 1.1".

I'm getting ready to switch from consulting to bootstrapping for a while, so I'm looking for new startup ideas and partners.

Feel free to shoot some ideas by me. I'm looking for ideas/partners too.

Cool. Will do.

The most interesting topic today for me along those lines had to be the auction site story
