One size does not fit all, and you probably have the right instinct in your case. It depends in part on the investment required of a user to try and use your product, and the consequences to them of less than great results. Time spent on yo

I have no short term advice, sorry. An observation: given your description of recent history, it might be best for you if you ran your own business. In other words, create your own job. Maybe that's freelancing, maybe running a service, or

The only thing I've ever seen from this guy is stuff about this guy being seen, written by this guy. He's the most meta guy I've ever seen.

Your last requirement (CNAME) is the most important part of the answer. As long as you can do that, your platform choice isn't a nailbiter. Choose and start writing. Your blog service should include RSS. Wordpress is nice in that you have t

If I had one of these (I have an older Linksys), I'm pretty sure I'd go buy one from some other company, then take my formerly viable Linksys router, smash it to bits, put it and a fuck you note in a box and send it to Cisco.

Stack ranking where you fire the bottom 10% (even though they were supposedly A players when you fired them; what did you do to ruin them?), is just a manifestation of managers that have a hard-on for a brain.

I stay with Firefox for daily use because I like a lot of the available addons; it makes it my browser, not just Firefox. Chrome just doesn't have enough specific addons or customization for it to ever feel like my browser. Tree Style T

"Apple might be able to salvage the relationship with Facebook, but it's pretty clear that Facebook's relationship with users has hit the rocks." I very much doubt that. Statistically no one will leave FBook over this.

Which is nice, because you get fine grained control over which bandaids you put over cmd.exe. This basically gives you readline and not much else, and you don't have to install multiple possibly overlapping bandaids to get it.

I don't disagree with your decision to not torrent, but whether the author gets any money from format shifting is determined by each author's contract for each work.

Here's my fear. I deleted my FBook account a couple years ago. And it seems to be at least inactive, but I assume there is still an entity representing "me" in some state at FBook, because that's how FBook rolls. As I understand this latest

"It was in one of the history books I was reading in the 90's and they are in a storage garage about 400miles away." As much as I hate ereaders, there's an excellent example of why ebooks are a good thing.
