So the results are coming out soon. For those of us who don't get into either program, is anybody interested in renting out an apartment in Boston/SF and spending the summer coding away? It's not our original hopes, but I think that if we're dedicated enough, we'll be able to get our projects done.

You know, I really think we should organise something like this. Rent a reasonably large place for 3 months, we just get together and work in a shared environment, then move on. It would be great just so one can get ideas bounced off other technical people, and get some feedback.

Of course, it could also turn out real bad, cos the one guy gets funding, and the others don't so everyone is hating on him. And then then the two guys who are at the house and discover that they are working on exactly the same ajax online calender.

Or what about the guy who came in and was working on a tool to catalogue your finger nail clippings, and this suddenly changes to a remote folder sync tool as soon as this other guy demos his own great folder sync tool.

And to top it off, you film this whole thing, Justin.tv style! It'll be great.

I like the sound of it. Like a non stop superhappydev house?

Have a peek at this article for inspiration: " GRUNGE INC: LIVE-IN STARTUPS COMBINE FRAT-HOUSE CULTURE WITH VENTURE CAPITAL" http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/07/30/MNGEUK86BI1.DTL&type=tech

What does summer mean for you (dates)? This sounds like a cool plan, I wouldn't mind hitting the US for a few months to work on some stuff...

Late may through late August. Good?

Hmm...that's actually kinda neat. I think I'd be interested in something like that in Boston.

Gotta love being young and foolish :-)

I'll keep you posted.
