Somehow surprised, it seems a lot of us are solo founders. Nice bunch of good solutions, I see.

Yeah, you are right, you can solve it in the address bar, but I guess to check for the typo makes more sense ,-) PG ? Anybody there?

I agree completely with you both. I have some amazing figures about it.

But the hard issue is not to understand at a symbolic level, but being aware of all the consequences and possible relations. I solved partially some things, but others are completely impossible for me. I have the impression that I could find a niche market: people interested in getting precise facts, and its sources, not so much on letting the machine do the thinking for you. This will not change the world, for sure, but it is very interesting though.

You can not imagine how important are your comments to me. My former colleagues think this is useless, even if it works, and they don't believe it does in the first place. I am very isolated, more now after 8 months of hard work.

It relates the...

Not really nice to hear about somebody else through the same, really. I can not code a single routine since a week ago. Eight months working like a maniac on my startup. Alone. Crazy? Yeah.

Exhaustion? Probably. What to do? I was thinking on a small flight to Rome (I am in Madrid) I have friends there, but I do not fell very social. Ski? May be. What the hell! I hate feeling this way.
