Heads up, 'yum update' should upgrade you, if you are on 5.5. If yum update is not working, do a clean: 'yum clean all' then update.

I prefer this chat interface over convore.

This is the holy grail, great video tutorials.

Makes sense. Any idea ballpark what a trademark of a company name would cost in California?

Great info. What's you take on branding trademarks, such as my company name? Is this something I can do myself, or is a lawyer required? Is it even worth the time to trademark my company name? Thanks.

Thanks for pointing out the typos, fixed em up. Also, thanks for the feedback, you certainly have spot on comments. Writing marketing/copy text, is an art form, which I have not yet perfected, but still a work in progress.

Yeap, we will have a private beta with HN peps getting priority.

I stand corrected, but still feel Joyent is the major player at the table with four aces as of now. Plus, it will be interesting to see what salesforce.com does with the direction of Heroku.

Funny you should ask, this was actually a question that Robert Morris asked on my YC application. I don't view Heroku as a competitor. In fact, I believe they announced that they abandoned their node.js experimental hosting.

However, Joyent really has a leg up on node.js hosting, and seeing as they employ Ryan Dahl and just basically bought node.js, it could be difficult to gain market share, but I believe there is room for others to play.

Not since the advent of twilio.com.

Does anybody else think $1/Mo a zone/domain is high? Sure its nice that a million queries is only going to run you $0.50, but I suspect most people have a lot of domains, but little queries. Makes sense if you have a single domain, that gets a boat load of DNS requests, but if you have a lot of domains, with very little requests, its not cost effective.

I am looking to attend, will make the trip up from San Diego. Any word on who the speakers will be? Would be amazing to have Ryan. Certainly, let's do drinks or something with other HN peeps after.

Thanks to everybody that stopped by and chatted. Was great meeting everybody. - Justin

Shameless plug, if you can't sleep, come and drink the cool-aid and chat with other applicants: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1859162

You are right sir. Doooah

Sorry about that, had to restart the application.

Humm, working for me. Make sure you put the port, so:

There are some really good designs there, but I want something original and custom.

Thanks, have you personally used 99designs.com? A bit pricey, their cheapest price for a logo is $223.

postmarkapp is a great SMTP service. We use them, and recommend highly.

I want to spend a few hours and get the Hummingbird realtime scrolling visualization implemented. See the demo at (required HTML5 browser such as Chrome/Safari).

We prefer to just let somebody else manage it: ServerDensity is the best we have found. You can also use PagerDuty in tandem with ServerDensity.

Because of the guys who decided they would ruin the chat experience for all YC applicants, I modified the chat script, and now log ip addresses, and can simply add naughty people to DENY iptables. It is truly sad, I even had to do this, but, its now in place. :) Sorry about that.

Ok, now that the fanfare has died down, and there inst hundreds of people trying to talk all at once, my chat room is the place to go to chat with other YC applicants. :)

Try using Chrome or Firefox.

Doing a chat session tonight at 8:30pm [Pacific]. Join us.

You guys can now access the YC Winter 2011 chat at: http://www.nodejscloud.com:8001/ as well.

See you there.

Even better, I just spun up a VPS instance, and got the simple, yet functional node.js chat room going on it.

I'm in there now. :) Come one, come all.

I'll keep it up.

Elaborate? We have used it in production to move servers from Slicehost to Rackspace Cloud Files and it worked flawlessly.
