I use notepad as well as dead tree notepads and pen.

Any kind of ball point pen. The notepad must be a reporters notepad or a regular sized notepad. I dislike writing on pieces of paper that are too small.

I have come to HN the last couple of days talking about finding a co-founder etc. Well, instead of finding a co-founder (which I will eventually). I just started hacking away. I truly believe that we can establish relevance in online relationships that will lead to more productive research and collaboration, richer relationships and more information.This is my 11th attempt at starting a...

This is super inspiring. I am still working on finding a co-founder and I have not started looking for funding.

Do your thing my friend. This is great news for you!

Thanks for the reply. It was insightful and I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Actually kiwidrew nailed it. But, you are right. I have not done enough research. I actually didn't do any.

Working on an "auction" site - Should I let an investor give me money?

I am working on something I call "reverse auctioning". Lame name I know but I cannot think of anything else that I could call it. I showed this to a couple of guys and they told me that they interested in giving me some money to work on the project full time.
