The trend with his "intermediate successes" seems to be that he started strong but never committed long enough to finish.

I empathize, though, since if I had his money and free time I'd be just as bad.


I've found Jottit to be a cute alternative to http://pastebin.com but given that I already have a FreeBSD server, I can't see any reason to use it for any long term stuff.

Unfortunately his "OpenLibrary" is closed to me - clicking on any of the book covers from the main page just takes me to a big blank screen. Enabling JavaScript doesn't seem to make a difference.


Pastebin has syntax highlighting, which catapults it pretty far above Jottit for pasting in code snippets.


Jottit: Moderate success. The site was finished and launched and got incredibly positive reviews

Is that true? It was just a text box that echoed on a webpage. Pretty mild effort, and if he actually got "incredibly positive reviews" then he's got far too many ass-kissers hanging around him.
