Props to her for being a female entrepreneur AND bootstrapping in SV. However, one advantage she had over most people was she had already been a CEO of a VC backed company and learned a lot from that. I'm pretty sure what she learned in tha

This is a great example article with short, concise points that are practical and EVERY startup can use. For his point 8, I would suggest getting the best chair possible since you'll be spending 10+ hours a day in it. If possible get someth

Actually, I found it not bad. The reason being for each step you were only asked one question. The alternative to that is one page with 13 questions... and I think tests would show more people would finish the one question per page method.

Wow! that's pretty shitty if it can't create rich text/html e-mail! How hard could that functionality be to add? Do they have conversations like Gmail? So far no other e-mail client can match Gmail's and I like Outlook but no conversation t

When you're sitting in your rocking chair and you're yelling at kids to get off your lawn, before you fall back asleep are you going to wish you stuck it out for a few more months to see what happened?

Haha Trumpet Winsock, that was so hard to get installed sometimes. I remember when you had to edit the startup files to get it working correctly and it was a bitch because you couldn't get much help as you couldn't get on the Internet forum
