I'm in a similar situation - comfortable full time job - though I've been developing my side projects pretty well for about a year and they bring in a nice side income at this point. Basically, I follow the rule of 3 - set 3 goals per week,

Lots of derision over how easy it was for StockTwits to build this and as such they don't deserve sympathy? I don't get it. It sucks for them that Twitter is implementing this feature, but I have to say that I have respect for StockTwits -

I use Dvorak - really suggest you don't buy a specific keyboard for it. Just switch the layout in your OS and learn to touch type. I you want Das Keyboard, get one, leave it blank :)
