I walk. It is pretty easy to integrate into day to day life. I tried going to gym once or twice but didn't enjoy it. Walking in a park is much more refreshing. My grandfather (from my mother's side) is 81 and he still walks to thi

Yes. I had a couple of posts on 1up.com[1], IGN bought it and decided to shut it down. It was only then that I decided to create my own website and write what I wanted to there. I am still sad 1up got shut down but I probably wouldn't

I think you are discounting the "helped people" part. Your boss says what he says because he sees little value in your efforts. You answering questions on stackoverflow does not affect him. But it does affect the people you'v

You should stick with what you know. If you are comfortable with LAMP stack then you should keep using that. I am assuming that a good chunk of your work comes from maintaining what you wrote for a previous client and for these type of jo

Great quote :) For me sometimes it's the books and some times tv shows. But the idea should be to build a capacity of looking at things from a different/funny perspective. Which means developing the skill of taking an existing mun

Agreed about ad-hoc queries. It would have been nice to have them but couchdb-lucene[1] or even an integration with elasticsearch helps a lot if you need them. https://github.com/rnewson/couchdb-lucene
