`cq-` because, as you say, it is more descriptive.

Seems to be back up now

I was just coming on to say this.

I live somewhere where travelling by train is limited to basically local journeys, but love when I see this site get mentioned anywhere, because it reminds me of what the internet can be!

Something I've been doing recently that has really helped me find the right word faster is using flashcards.

One side will say "Explain the concept of x" and the other side be a paragraph or so of the concept.

I use both sides, so I will look at the abstract and try and remember the "x" naming word for it.

I don't think how you do, however I do often learn things in my own way, describing things internally using the "wrong" terms, This helps me link my internal thought processes to correct terms faster.

I'm excited to see the articles they produce.

I was a bit disapointed to see their RSS feed doesn't let you read the posts in your reader of choice.

Just some generic "click here to read more" descriptions and massive images.

I get that they're wanting to to sponsored stuff and for that they need stats and what have you, but I expected a bit better.

The "U" part is hard to talk about without actual users using it though. Which is hard to do pre-html.

When I was about 16 I collated a load of information on looking after your bearded dragon and sold the eBook on eBay - maybe made around £150 overall. I was chuffed at the time.

I have three sources of decent (return on effort put in) passive income this year.

- Membership fees and sponsored posts on https://thefootytipster.com (I maintain the WP site, but no real ongoing work) (roughly £300 per month)

- Advertising on my tech blog https://tosbourn.com (roughly £30 per month)

- Advertising on https://howoldistheinter.net (roughly £15 per month) - zero effort put into this once made and one redesign

I'm hoping to grow https://cbdscores.com over the next few months and add it to the list.

I use TextExpander for support / service emails and to pull up information quickly (VAT details, addresses, etc)

Invoices and late payment reminders I've automated with my invoicing system (Crunch)

I am a Safari user but would use the hell out of this. I have my hotkeys set to go to a non-inbox view but would love to block it entirely until I actively want to see stuff.

Innovation Enterprise - London, ONSITE.

I am one of the Ruby devs there and we want to expand our team.

We are looking for Ruby folk who have experience with Rails, TDD, and preferably scaling out existing projects. DevOps skills would also be a huge plus.

Happy to share a full job spec to anyone who is interested, or you can go here; http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/28683/software-develop...

I am guessing there will be a post slamming blogger soon since that is the only page that is currently working.

Nice! I am tempted to pick up some of the old Amiga hardware I used to own and get playing again.

I never tried Things, I went from Wunderlist (which I loved) to Omnifocus.

I agree about the organisation in Evernote, I _try_ and tag/prune as I go along but sometimes you do need to dedicate time to it.

Oh wow – this is very informative, thank you so much.

Thanks for this – I will look into this a bit more.

This sentence sounds very wrong to me.

Did you have to physically be there to open the account or were you able to do it all online/over the phone?

New business – Country Moving Grapes as a Service.

Quite possibly – I haven't looked into the reasons.

This is interesting – I hadn't considered opening up a bank account there, this is something I may look into, thanks!

I had considered bitcoin, but until it is way more easy to use for non-tech folk I don't think it is much of an option.

The services I have seen that make it easy for the non-tech have required American bank accounts.

OP Here – Would love any feedback from people who are either;

* Junior folk themselves

* Hire junior folk

That is outside of a typical developers remit though, I wrote this for developers on a team who don't think they need to worry about SEO.

Author here: Good point, you are indeed correct. I will add it to my list of additions/corrections.

Hope you don't mind poolpool but I quoted you in a quick writeup I made of VimR.

Seemed to be a big enough market for it, enough that Packt wanted one written at least!

It was a book I wrote on how to make money online. Detailing what I have done in the past and continue to do.

Fair point about the context, I will update the post now.

That Chapel looks cool :-D

Thanks for taking time out to comment on this, it is very much appreciated!

I love the idea of making yourself available for 9-5 team mates but not sticking rigidly to their structure.
