What makes you say development over SSH is "uncomfortable at best"? Lots of people doing this very thing, on a regular basis. I'm curious to hear your thoughts. Seems to me like SSH+tmux can be a dev's best friend.

Who are the "big-4" that you're referring to?

I'm using an Ubiquiti ER-X. It's not the easiest to configure, but it works well with my dual-WAN setup.

I'm not sure about just standing, but I know that so far... It's been a challenge to train myself to work on a treadmill desk. Sometimes it's hard to keep a high degree of focus while walking.

I think if you go for the ones that are easiest to complete, it's going to motivate you to come up with more ideas. More success will fuel more motivation. Do you care to share any of your ideas?

I love it when people downvote you because you might disagree, or present some conflicting data. Good job.

Color me skeptical. I bought into this, at first. After reading some other stuff, not so much. Like this, for example: http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/6028/dispelling-backblaze-...

Unfamiliarity, mostly. Already have a solid config I've been using with irssi for years. Takes time to learn new stuff well. I just prioritized other new stuff higher. ;)

If you go the subscription route, rather than billing by the hour as brudgers suggests, then make it VERY CLEAR what your subscription service includes. Anything past that, they need to pay up. When in doubt, spell it out, because if you

Nearly every day for the past 15+ years. Social networks come and go. IRC has remained consistent for me all that time. I'm on to give/get technical help, and socialize. In that order. :) also, for the curious... irssi is my clien

patio11 - bar none. This guy is a successful businessman, and provides so much value with so much of what he writes. For free. Go read his stuff, I dare you.

Did you write your Twitter posts before, or after, this comment? :) You say this so succinctly there. I used to think it was all about the resume. It's actually one of the least effective ways to apply for work. One other thing to cons

I'm also curious to know how folks get new clients if their services are very niche.

Who's your carrier currently? I'm in Oregon as well, and I'm not impressed with the offerings here, at all.

Does this question only cover products? I was doing side work for two companies, and I quit my job of 8 1/2 years to go full-time independent, doing automation and sysadmin stuff for them, have a couple more customers coming on too. Ga

It might perform as fast as Chrome. I certainly wouldn't rank it as stable or memory efficient. It hasn't been, in my experience. I use Chrome as my primary browser on Linux and OS X. Tried to use Edge as primary on 10, but it&#x2

I have been doing this for a couple years now. I am about to make some big changes, as a result of the side work taking off. I work early/late, so that side work wouldn't conflict with my day job. I worked Saturdays. I'm a sy

I would highly recommend "The Personal MBA" by Josh Kaufman. He also lists several other good books in there. Even if you're not in charge of the entire business, you'll have a good idea of the "big picture"

Hi, Pat. Thank you for responding. I just had my first 5-figure month. Early on, I'd set up a separate bank account its own card attached. I've been using Freshbooks, so far. I'll check out bench.co
