It’s been about two months now since I launched Startupping. In that time, it’s grown into a great community of entrepreneurs. My latest blog post over there is 15 Startup Commandments. Check it out!

getting an email saying that the Mac Pro I ordered on Wednesday has shipped. I should have it by Tuesday. Yes, I’m making the switch. My main desktop has been Linux for at least 10 years now, with a backup Windows machine for a few things. But I got tired of the bugginess of Fedora. And with the development of Parallels and other VM systems, it’s now possible for me to consolidate my two main desktop machines (I’ll still have one or two server boxes for development).

Marc Hedlund has a great post up talking about how many Internet startups are just rehashes of old UNIX commands. Marc’s absolutely right; in fact he’s just given away my secret to success!

I’m very pleased to announce the launch of Startupping, a resource for Internet entrepreneurs. As I explain in the first post, I want to take the mystery out of the process of starting and running an Internet company.

Here’s the list of interviewees, which includes myself. In the interview, I talk about the early days of both ONElist, which became Yahoo Groups, and Bloglines. I haven’t had a chance to read the book yet (hey, I just got it a couple hours ago!
