jolenzy··on Is it okay for me to initially charge low rates on an Elance?
Yes, you should underbid in the beginning, until you get a couple of jobs and good ratings.

I started a month ago, and was the hardest to get the first job. After that one, and good review from client, jobs started to come up more often.

So, keep trying, underbid in the beginning, and don't give up.

jolenzy··on Ask HN: How do you have time for dates and gym when working for a startup?
You need a guy, then you'll find time :) Seriously. You should go to parties, do crazy things, and get drunk sometimes with best friends. If you don't study, go to college. It will be the best part of your life.

Work will not run away anywhere. It will wait for you. So use your time wisely, you have only one life.

Most of the people work, so they can earn, so they can live good enough. I think that you, like many others, went off a little from that track.

Best wishes.

jolenzy··on Linux gets frozen, what do you do?
Thanks for the update. For years I use this with Ctrl, never got a thought to try without.

Btw, on the wiki page I mentioned is also written that: Under graphical environments (such as GNOME or KDE) 'Alt'+'PrintScrn/SysRq'+key combination generally only leads to a screenshot being dumped. To avoid this Print Screen feature the magic SysRq combination should include the Ctrl, becoming 'Ctrl'+'Alt'+'SysRq'+key.

So I guess it depends from the environment.

jolenzy··on The bomb that changed my life (2011)
14 years ago, I have survived a war. In the second day of NATO attack to Serbia, I have seen a huge explosion only 5-6 km away. That was like in the movies. That was the scariest explosion I've ever seen. First only a big cupola, and then a terrifying sound. Later I realized that this event changed my life. In better way. You learn to appreciate life.
jolenzy··on You’re in the front of a Linux computer, you need a root access. What do you do?
Great ideas! Of course, system can't be secure when you have physical access to the hardware.

What I shared is is not an attacking method, but just a recovery method, which was helpful for me recently, so I hoped that it can be helpful to someone else as well.

The best would be to ask them what would make them happy at new job, which conditions, etc. Then be honest, and offer them what you can.
