twampss··on Understanding Git for real by exploring the .git directory
For anyone looking for a video/demo on this, here's a great presentation by Tim Berglund - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYP56QJpDr4

I'm already a fan because of @ericflo.
twampss··on YesGraph (YC W15) Raises $1M to Build a Better Referral System for Mobile Apps
[Disclosure - I work at YesGraph] What are some lessons learned from Tipjoy (YC W08) that you're applying here or doing differently with running YesGraph?
twampss··on A Difficult Situation
+1 and well said. When I had legal issues with a client irrationally withholding payment, my lawyer suggested to wait four days to respond. Seems like an eternity, especially considering it's double from what you tend to follow (48 hours), it's amazing how much more reasonable your response can be juxtaposed to responding immediately.

So did I, it's from here - http://thingsthatarebrown.com/blog/2009/05/sample-resume-tem...

All modesty aside, he should mention where he got the template from.

twampss··on Ask HN: How do I get started freelancing?
Wow, your first client experience sounds ideal! Not only did he end up as your personal accountant, but you had him working for YOU as he looked for potential clients. That's a great use of resources and definitely sounds like it was worth your time investment for those few weeks.

Thanks for sharing and for the Dale Carnegie recommendation!

twampss··on Ask HN: How do I get started freelancing?
Did you do this for your first client? If so, how did it all go?

I did something similar - I offered to build the foundation of their website (a social networking site) for free as a trial. It only took a few nights and they liked what they saw. Shortly after, we negotiated and agreed upon a rate to continue development.

twampss··on Allan Odgaard's Latest Comments on TextMate 2
Good suggestion for Windows. One key feature for Sublime Text is the minimap and for those wanting that in TM, Julian Eberius developed a TM plugin - http://julianeberius.github.com/Textmate-Minimap/

twampss··on Print Isn't Dying, Serious Journalism Is
One of the take aways from this post is something that's been talked about on HN for quite some time: the call for quality content.

It would be a better world if the amount of people who knew what they were talking about was directly proportionate to how much they talked.

+1 for The Office (and the site is great, too!)
twampss··on Startup Goals for 2009
Just another big fan of your blog! Given the content you write about and the quality of the HN community, I'm usually surprised if I'm the first one to submit a post from your site. It's a perfect fit!

No blog on my end currently - took it down a while ago and haven't found the time to get it started up again. Hopefully soon! My email is [this username] at gmail dot com. I am always up for a good chat! Keep up the great work!

twampss··on High Readability for your Terminal.app
MouseTerm is great! I've been looking for something like this for a while...

Thank you!

twampss··on Effective teachers have a gift for noticing what one researcher calls "withitness."
Ha! I'm a programmer, what can I say? ;)

Oh I'm not a Bengals fan - just never heard that clever team name before. Well played!

Bungles. I see what you did there... ;)
twampss··on How Alex Payne Uses TextMate
I noticed that, too. Perhaps he is referring to "Cutting-Edge" updates? I'm on build 1436 (Minor Updates) and 1496 is available now.
twampss··on Social Network Profile Costs Woman College Degree
I agree with you that the title is pure bait. It's obvious that the combination of her poor performance reviews and Myspace photo caused her to lose her teaching position, with the photo pushing everything over the edge. But I think the real controversy here is our online privacy. This is yet another example of how social network profiles (when people are not careful) come back to bite them in the ass. Although I know almost everyone on HN is smart enough to make photos like that private, it's a good reminder from this lesson learned.

And this story always cracks me up :) - http://valleywag.com/tech/your-privacy-is-an-illusion/bank-i...

twampss··on Defensive design: Magnetic zones on the unibody MacBook
Or conversely, you can just magnetize your screwdriver. I've always done this when taking apart laptops.

With an anti-static bracelet on, of course!

Guess Arrington still has a man-crush on Dziuba. Rip-off post is full of fail.
