You know, whether or not you think that the amount of the capital for the % of the company is good or bad, the cash isn't really the most enticing part of the YCombinator.
Yes, of course you have to be careful about giving away too much for too little, but YCombinator offers much more than just cash.
Paul Graham has a ton of experience and a ton of contacts. Having him, his team, his friends, and his firm on your side is a lot more important than the cash. Being able to take knowledge from these people, along with the other companies within YCombinator is a very important piece of the puzzle.
A lot of times, VC isn't about the cash, it's about the contacts and knowledge.
Not really, more users are allowed in nightly, it's a real service and there are links to both my blog (http://www.iseff.com/ ), an about page, and the documentation for the APIs (http://documentation.openomy.com/ ) -- all of which explain things.
Sign up tonight, you'll probably get invited in the next day or two. I'm launching this week.

You can do this and I know that because I wrote an application -- Openomy.
Check out http://www.openomy.com/ -- an online file system with open APIs so you can get at your data whenever, wherever, however you want.
It's an interesting idea, I think.

Google Acquires Dodgeball
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Did nobody notice the top line of the page? The poster of this story included a Session ID variable in the query string, and apparently dodgeball does a terrible job with security, because now we're all logged in as rekcah5. Wow.
Hopefully Google helps out a bit.
I'm currently building a nice web server, much like Tomcat for.NET in C# (yes, I realize a lot of it could be done currently using ASP.NET and/or Apache with mod_mono or XSP -- but this server has some features I really like; plus it's a good exercise). I hope to build some web app's for the server after it's complete (I'd say its just about ready to enter alpha stage), but so far developing between VS.NET during the day in my office and MonoDevelop at home at night on FC2 is a really fun process. They both have their quirks, their plusses, and their minuses -- but really if you're just careful how you program there's no worrying about whether or not it will work cross-platform -- it will. Of course, this isn't including Winforms or GTK#.
