Title: Hi all, long-time reader, occasional poster here. You may remember me as this guy: 
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=653655<p>Just wanted to let you know that in big part thanks to some ideas I've got here, my last day at Big Soul Sucking Corp. is next week, and then I'm jumping into my own business full time :))<p>I still don't have a hot billion dollar idea, but I've decided to open a software development company (don't want to self-promote, if you're interested, there's a link in my profile). I've got some clients already, been working on it 4-5 hours every day for the last 4 months, and now actually making enough money to survive without a day job (ramen-survive, but still).<p>I also started another business, it has nothing to do with computers/technology, but it is  bringing in an income stream too, and has potential to grow (international wholesale trading, if you're interested).<p>So, just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone on this board, who provided an inspiration for me over the years to finally "make a leap". Thank you!
