Vote up if you're refreshing your email once a minute today
- blader 20y agoThis is just for fun. Relax.
- danw 20y agoOf course its constantly refreshing as always :) The time zone difference is killing me, its only 8am over there!
- monjurul 20y agohakuna matata = my philosophy in life.
- dfranke 20y agoConsiderably more often than that. Dreamhost is gonna be pissed with me.
- jkush 20y agoHas anyone heard back yet?
- blader 20y agoYes, but he wants me to buy penis enlargement pills for some reason.
- jkush 20y agoHeh. I didn't know YC was into that kind of thing. How interesting.
- mariandumi 20y agoI'm in love with my Junk Email box today too. Nothing gets deleted without proper consideration.
- notabel 20y agoI've got a Sieve script running on my IMAP server, set to redirect to my phone any message from an address containing any of the strings "pg@", "tlb@", "rtm@", "x@", or "ycombinator". I also have my email here set to a subaddress, which is also included in the above forward. Points to anyone who understands Sieve semantics well enough to predict whether the message will get matched and redirected twice. Sieve happens in realtime :-)
- jkush 20y agoI've got you beat. I built a robot last night (runs on Lisp and parts from Radio Shack) that constantly monitors the internet, my phone lines and packets going out of YC's office. As soon as my robot picks up a signal of interest it beams the messages directly to my HUD that I've been wearing ever since I sent my app in.
- notabel 20y agoHurray for over-engineered solutions! While you're at it, though, you might as well just have your robot slip inside YC and grab a copy of Arc--then it wouldn't just be Lisp, it would be Hundred Year Lisp!
- jey 20y agoI'm 300 meters away from YC in Mountain View, so the email doesn't have to travel as far through the intertubes to get to my inbox. Beat that!
- theoutlander 20y agoHold up Hold up! The data will travel straight to Seattle first before getting re-routed! So even if you guys are 100ms away ... the data pipes are facing in my direction :-D
- Alex3917 20y agoEmails fall through. This isn't survivor. Get back to work. :-)
- nostrademons 20y agoGMail. It refreshes for me. Other than that - I'm trying to get some work done so I can get home at a reasonable hour and work some more on my startup.
- mukund 20y agoI got a mail from GMAIL team asking me not to abuse Gmail by constantly refreshing it :D
- theoutlander 20y agoGmail doesn't refresh that often! I think there is still a lag....keeeep refreshing!
- blader 20y agoLet's all refresh at the same time and crash Google!
- theoutlander 20y agoGoooooood Moooorning! Still no mail....?
- KatherineHagman 20y agoAgree with the Gmail people -- although I love it, the notifier can't be trusted with important matters!
- mukund 20y agoDid PG read this posting? "Just try to take a released feature away from customers and see how pissed off they get." (37signals.com) Here we are all waiting for that email and its more or less like this ;-)
- wensing 20y agoI read someone recently refer to startups as the NBA of high-tech (luring kids away from college). If that's the case, does that make this draft day? It would appear to have some of the feel.
- patryn20 20y agoI have to admit I am a little unclear on one point: Does everyone who applied get emailed or just the ones accepted to the interviews? I would hate to be waiting for something that will never come. Darn you, Godot! You wasted two hours of my life! :-)
- jey 20y agoYes, every team receives an email, although not necessarily all founders. Might just be the founder whose account you applied under.
- pg 20y agoWe'll email the founder whose yc account the application was made through. The from addr will be info@ycombinator.com.
- a5huynh 20y agoyeah, can someone please answer that? I wouldn't want to be waiting for easter eggs on Christmas. edit: nvm
- mukund 20y agoOh did any hacker intercept the mail? Its rater dangerous if that happens ;-)
- joshwa 20y agohe's awake! http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=11399 http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=11399 (I can't believe I'm posting this)
- danw 20y agoAnd now we're all refreshing this thread too
- xinroman 20y agofingers crossed
- melhorn 20y agowhy refresh mail when I can refresh ycombinator? The second when one of the emails gets received it will be posted here for shure... :-)
- blader 20y ago
- blader 20y agoFYI: Just received an interview email. No joke.
- jkush 20y agoHey, congratulations! That's fantastic!
- mukund 20y agoHey thats a great news. Congrats
- russ 20y agoThanks for the update. Congrats and best of luck!
- jsjenkins168 20y agoI did too. I am shaking so much I can barely type... I am shocked.
- shadowolf 20y agoCongrads
- yili 20y agocongrats. i can't believe it when my partner told me :)
- huangnankun 20y agowow, I'm so happy =) look forward to seeing you guys in mountain view, CA
- st767 20y agono.
- herdrick 20y agoFor American teams who got interviews and need to fly to Silicon Valley: Southwest has a sale that includes flights to San Jose. Sample fare: $79 each way from Seattle to San Jose. Here: http://www.southwest.com/hotfares/hotfares2.html http://www.southwest.com/hotfares/hotfares2.html You'll need to book before Thursday midnight (now is that midnight between Thursday and Friday, or...?).
- randallsquared 20y agoIt's too late for that: "with 14-day advance purchase"
- herdrick 20y agoAh, yes. Oops.
- huangnankun 20y agoTo everyone rejected, don't give up , remember the fedex story, bootstrap it and work hard!
- gyro_robo 20y agoWas rejected.
- knewjax 20y agoRejection the best motivator? or is it just me? The passion to prove yourself and your ideas is more motivating than acceptance. Anyway we have some extra office space available to share with all you future ycombinator startups that will be locating in boston for the summer. We are located in davis square minutes from harvard sqaure in cambridge. We have been there for 4 months now and have 2-3 desks to spare. You can see pics at dreamvex.com (our soon to be designed blog). If anyone is interested when you move to the city, you can email me at todd at dreamvex.com goodluck to everyone who got an interview.
- jamiequint 20y agoI sense a marketing opportunity for blackberry in this thread! :) yay for push email
- maheshvv 20y agoGot a thumbs-up @5pm EST. It was a generic msg, sent to a suppressed mailing list. knewjax, we did not provide a demo or prototype. We did, however, spend quite a bit of time in writing a detailed reply to a question pg sent by email about 5 days ago.
- brezina 20y agoCongrats to all winners. For anyone who won't be in this YC batch, here is an idea. I suggest joining my YC alum startup, Xobni, instead. Sometimes great hackers joinup instead of startup. That is what Paul Buchheit did : http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2007/03/looking-for-co-founder-try-attending.html http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2007/03/looking-for-co-founder-try-attending.html send resumes: http://www.xobni.com/jobs.php http://www.xobni.com/jobs.php
- Prrometheus 20y agoHow is that different from a normal day?
