I applied to YC once before. It's kind of funny, the idea I submitted this time is something I included in the "What cool things have you built?" question last go around. Anyone else end up doing the same?

As an aside, Media Temple is screwing us over right now. We submitted our application last night around 9 PM EST. Around 4 AM MT took their service down for upgrades and our site has been down since. We're freaking out and still waiting to hear back from them.

Another MT customer here, and they indeed have been screwing the pooch for the past couple of days. SSH is constantly down, FTP is slow, and email got knocked out for a whole day. First they say it was a service overload so they fixed it by adding more RAM, then they say they had a DOS attack, now they say it's just a service upgrade. All the while my website is slow and inaccessible and I can barely get to it to fix things.

I'm jumping ship as soon as I can.

It's really frustrating to have spent all this time polishing and refining our site for the last 2 weeks nearly non-stop to have them poop out on us like this. Literally hours after submitting our application for review, and more than likely, seriously affecting our prospects of being accepted.

If I were a more religious man, I might think it to be divine.
