Isn't this something like hubdub ? http://www.hubdub.com/ Don't think hubdub do actually have prizes in the form of classes/lectures/workshops, but it seems more "lively" in hubdub. Edit: not affiliated with them

I maybe a little naive, but how different is divvyshot from something like flickr ? Doesn't flickr have private groups (i.e. sharing with just a few people) ? I must be missing something here.. :(

True, but wouldn't something like a version control system + magic scripts solve the issue ?

sigh... and london did not fare well :( There are a number of "things" going on here, and all I can imagine is the scale of SV :)

You have basically summarised what I've learnt from HN - I learnt that I am not alone, and there are all of these other enthusiastic, energetic people out there who have the entrepreneurial drive to make a change. "You are not alone" - than

well done! Would be great if you could post an update at the end of this month, and see if you really had to rescale the Y-axis ! :)

Is he/his opinions that bad to issue a warning ? Just wondering, as I did read his book "The World Is Flat" and found it interesting Edit: not trying to put you down, just wondering, that's all :)

Moreover lets not forget XSS as well. Need to be careful. Think if you're going to post an image URL, server will need to do some validation that its an actual image and then spit it inline

Very true. I do have a script to run on each domain separately, but I really should use something more sophisticated :) Edit: I'll try sharing the script when I head back home

I'm still old school in that way. I use awstats: http://awstats.sourceforge.net/ I really should be using something more sophisticated. But to keep things simple, awstats is just fine.

+1 for wicket. Used wicket for a while on xp-dev.com, but moved to a home grown one as wicket was a tad bit too bloated. But I really like how wicket is component based, and have used it successfully for other project (all intranet based on

To think about it, knowing the person well might even be worse if you end up in a sticky situation. Not only have you just lost a friend, but your reputation as well. Moreover, chances are high that he/she will be in the same social circles
