At that point, I started reading books (I was about 15), my first was rich dad poor dad (which had no real substance besides widening my prospective). Then I started reading real estate books, then 'business' books, automotive books, medical books, biographies, books on philosophy & finally programming books (where ie settled for now). Along with that I started making friends with the 'smart' & 'creative' kids at school, which led to meeting 'rich' & 'successful' people and being able to observe, what I thought, were their strong and weak points.
I feel that 'self-starting' comes from awareness that you can do whatever you want and become successful. How you reach this awareness, I'm not sure (my path was basically family, books, new people).
disclosure: i am on my mobile, so my grammar and spelling may be more off than usual.
Ask YC: Server Administration?
I've never had to set-up my own server before, thanks to hosting providers (like media temple / dreamhost / etc).I recently realized I am deficient in that area and would like learn the basics, enough so I could (hypothetically) buy a slice from slicehost and set it up.Does anyone have any good primers/online tutorials?
Google pulls a copy cat on facebook + myspace
Facebook is giving it to me soon, and I love it. I think it will really allow for mashups to begin integrating data on a completely new level.
Cause then, they [facebook] are armed with Demographic info, and 50% of the time, a deeper level of focus.
But, I don't know why I need to use this? Why will this help me? What would I store in there?
Currently, my bookmarks menu bar is pretty sufficient.. Is the idea to bookmark stuff I don't know a lot about so I can learn about it via wikipedia?
Kind of like how facebook is a platform...
No, like gmail, yahoo & hotmail.
I would make email a platform; as in, make it easy to develop apps for e-mail.
Like To-do lists, contact lists, crm's, etc...

Does anyone have a FireEagle invite?
I was wondering if anybody could provide me with a fire eagle invite! Please!?
I'm not to tempted to create my own cause I don't know what's entailed. I do know it takes 5 minutes now and that's not time I have right now.
Maybe you should make the "Start creating mobile pages" link bring you to a blank mobile page where you can become invested and then force the user to sign up once they have everything they want; like their layout, pictures, url..etc.
Good idea though, and you're off to an AWESOME start.
YC: What is competitive pay in SF?
I'm looking at a few jobs in SF on craigslist and no one seems to list compensation of any sort (salary, bonus, equity) for a Front-End Developer or PHP Developer.Any idea what average salary is for someone with 2+ years and plenty of demo's?
AND you could integrate with clickpass. :)
Gmail, Google, Adwords, and Hacker news fall in to that category.
