Good on you.

Don't let your future be determined by the success/failure of your application. Make a decision now to do what needs to be done regardless of your application's outcome. You need to have the mindset "I'm doing this anyway, and if I get funding it's a bonus"

Kudos for doing something to escape. Work takes on a different outlook now, hey?

Not only the funding but the contacts and guidance that YC provides is priceless. If YC accepts us, it will be a very life altering situation.

So when do you sleep? Don't tell me you don't sleep, we all know that's impossible for more than a week or so.

Like you my partner and I will be submitting our application for the winter 08 funding. We're from Canada, so if selected are looking forward to getting out of the snow and hacking.

Thanks for the comments guys. And to answer dan97632's question, I get home about 11AM and go to bed from about 11:30 to 5:00 then I get up and do it all over again.

Don't forget to go for your idea anyway in case you are not accepted (or another, improved idea, whatever).

Awesome dude! Good luck, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to apply as well!

Good luck to you!

Just go get it!

best of luck ... don't give up.
