Hi, thanks for asking!

I'll start blogging fairly soon and all your questions will be answered. I need to start blogging because I promised a bunch of posts on Arc (including many modifications that I've made to it), Lisp, business of startups etc. To tell you the truth, I just didn't want to start a blog because blogging eats up a lot of time and time is something that I don't have in abundance right now. If the curiosity is eating you, you can always email me and I'll provide you with more info.

Nickb - when is your startup launching?

Well, we're working on a video demo and technical information and this stage. The backend of what we're working on proved to be very challenging indeed and was a lot of work. It also ended up being a lot more complicated than we thought due to the volume of data that we'll have to support.

So we're very close indeed!

Maybe hes just the MrBabyMan of HN — just like everyone else here, except he really likes submitting ALL the cool stuff he finds on a daily basis?

Though I am interested what his startup is. :-)

I believe NickB is one of the FriendFeed guys, though I could be wrong. I remember a FriendFeed staff member going by FirstnameL, anyway.

Don't think he's FriendFeed, the whole FriendFeed team is listed on their website and there's no Nick:

NickB also said his startup uses a lot of Ruby on Rails, and Friendfeed's a mostly-Python shop.
