The best way to form a geekhouse, I find, is to attend university. Stay in residence the first semester/year while meeting geeks who chafe at the residence acceptable use policies (ie no sub-nets connected to the residece LAN - how lame is that?). Then, find a (large) house with aDSL/cable and move in with all your new-found friends. Through the university years, turnover will be high, but later on, you (hopefully) will end up with one good set of geek room mates and a great geek house, as well as offers to join geek houses in other cities/areas.
Well, in theory that should work. Other options include meeting others at LUGs and online and other tech-oriented areas, and proposing the idea to all the geek friends you have.
Good luck!
Hey, thanks a lot guys!
Also, to clarify a few things - there is no need to do this real time, on the fly, etc - the main purpose of this app is to take some information from a database, and use that info to lay out text, images, horizontal and vertical lines, as well as gradients and filled areas - in full color, at a very very high quality.
Anyways, I'm looking around at the links that were posted - some very nice stuff in here!
