Ask/Offer HN: Anyone wants to connect?

Hello HN. Long time reader, first time poster here. Life can be a little difficult and lonely for a solo hacker working without a proper co-founder. Being geographically disconnected from the startup world makes it even harder, missing out on all the cool meetups and hackathons I keep reading about. Over the last few weeks, I connected with a few HNers via hnofficehours, the #startups irc channel, and some HN Google docs. It has been a good experience; making new friends and exchanging thoughts over our respective projects. I found myself motivated each time I talked to these guys, pushing me to work harder on my own projects. So I thought I should reach out and connect with more such people. If anyone wants to talk about startups, bounce ideas, get some feedback, or if you need a hand with something, if you are just feeling down and need some motivation, or simply want to make a new friend, please feel free to contact me. My skype id is hanifvirani and my email is in my profile. Lastly, I would like to thank HN for being such a great community and a bank of knowledge. You have been a significant help.
