Tom - I saw you speak at the London HN meetup last week and your work was very inspirational. I've always been a business guy in the tech industry but never actually coded anything (i've reversed engineered some php in joomla, but nothing crazy). I'm in the process of putting together an app for my squash group so people can add their matches and view standings. I did the Python tutorials from Google as well and have spent some time learning django.
Also, StackOverflow has also been extremely helpful, especially given that I'm such a noob at this. For example, one of my questions was so basic about the ORM that after I found out the solution I felt like such an idiot. [1]
That being said...if you want a business and/or hacker buddy to bounce ideas off let me know. My contact info is in my user listing.
