I am currently looking for a technical co-founder to help build a cross-platform note-taking application (yes, I know...another one). Actually I think the term "co-founder" it's a little bit too much; I'm looking for someone to work with me on this project and see where it goes.

I've started this working in my free time, and realized that it takes more than one person working on it to get it going (apart from programming, there are other aspects as well - like design, marketing, attracting investment, etc). Everything it's still in early stages, however, basic functionality is implemented.

There's no deadline and we work in spare time. The only requirements that I am looking for in a candidate are:

- passionate about creating a solid note taking cross platform application, and have desire to succeed in turning this into a real product. It sounds simple, but it's not...

- have programming knowledge in Python, Django framework, feel comfortable working with jQuery & plugins, CSS styling, Tweeter Bootstrap, and other stuff like this that comes around main app.

- familiarity with storage systems, networking protocols, DNS, web servers, databases, and *nix in general (preferable)

- easy to work with, open to new approaches in web technologies, and willing to work/learn together with me on this. I am not looking for the "best programmer" out there - reasonable knowledge will be fine.

In the end, like any start-up, the app can be successful, or not. There is no guarantee. The good part is that the only investment is time spent on building the app and a laptop :)

If interested shoot me a line (gabriel at intranets-talk dot com) - and let me know. Thanks, Gab.

Is there anyone else in my situation..? I am trying to re-new my domain with Byethost and it seems that they are not able to accept payments (their "Add Funds" page is blank; I have tried with 3 different browsers, and 2 different computers).

During the last 48 hours I've opened a couple of tickets but all I am getting is "canned" replies.

This is unusual for them, as they have a good reputation of getting back to costumers in fairly quick time. Also their Live Chat showed "Online", but no one was available to talk... Calling their UK number got me to a "Leave a message" recording.

The reason I am asking here is because my domain will expire on January 5th, they are not providing any payment options for domain renewal and they are not replying to their support ticketing system...? Is there anyone else experiencing this..?

PS - What will happen if my domain expires and they are too late to reply or worst, not replying at all..? Will I lose my domain...? I've tried transferring the domain but because it only has less than 72 hours to expire, no other registrar will accept the transfer...
