How do you get an idea developed without letting the cat out of the bag? I have some projects I want code developed for, but I am leary of using scriptlance or discussing it anywhere. They could just steal my idea and start selling it.

every moment, everyone have lots of great ideas. no matter how great the idea seems to be, if you never execute it is just nothing. All Talk and No Action is what everyone is good at.

lol, you should’ve got some luck by now. Or learned from your mistake?
We as coders get lots of ideas, but then when we think them through they just seem stuiped.

[...] sooner or a little later then the moment would have passed, timing is important, just ask Al on missed opportunities and the difference between success and failure being taking [...]

Been browsing the hat shops for a while (if you know what I mean). I have tried a few things with more to come, which means less time for more enjoyable persuits such as posting to your lovely sites.

But even if I don’t post, know that I’m always lurking. I need my selfmade fix, y’know!

For someone who “doesn’t know much” about it, you sure thought this through quite thouroughly, didn’tcha Al?

I remember not being able to find any decent information back when I wanted to take my first backpacking trip to Europe. There were a few sites with general backpacking info that were painful on the eyes but nothing with hostel reviews, which was what I was after. When I got back from my trip I came up with a grading system with six criteria and posted a form on my site for people to submit reviews. I was in uni and working a lot and had no time to devote to this and now there are hostel review sites all over the place. Shortly after I added my little system I noticed that Hostelworld.com added an identical ratings system… hmm. I’m annoyed I didn’t blow off uni and start working seriously on my sites way back then.

Back in the day when AOL was king I had an idea about offering unlimmeted tech support
Not sure if any one did this but the idea was good then
