I'm happy for you guys, and I wish you well. If you ever visit Ecuador, you can get to me via superluc at gmail; starting in December, surf gets good. I'm still in the states, but I'll be back in two weeks -- staying for 10 months this time.

I have a selfish reason for wishing you well: I'm trying to do something similar, starting a business with some friends and some custom software. It's terribly conservative, as I don't have another technical co-founder, but it's something.

It's promising that you're already Plantain Profitable. ;)

Perfect! I'm going to be heading to Rio in January, so I might have to make a pitstop at some point in Ecuador. If you get that stuff moving from a beach in Ecuador you'll definitely have the best founding story ever :)
