I posted that before they responded. Good to hear they don't respond to RFPs. The point of RFPs are to allow fair competition between vendors. Also to allow the government agencies to compare bids apples to apples and score accordingly

Good to hear. I figured as much.

Huge potential conflict here unless the 18F consulting team that drafts the requirement is firewalled away from the bidding team. I think once they clarify this, it would be all good.

It this becomes something that the T&C require, I'm probably not buying a ticket. Unless it's someone I felt I really needed to see, then I'm at the mercy of the T&C. But I'm a rule follower. :)

Interesting. I guess I didn't think of the comedian angle. Still, I'm on the adapt or die side of this. When I am paying $200 to attend a show, don't take away my phone. I went to a show earlier this year and the artist had e

Having bootstrapped a couple of times: 1) I would double your estimated time to build. Worst case, think it would take 9-12 months. 2) Personally, I wouldn't get too into the finances of my co-founder. I'd just want to know that w

I guess I don't really understand the problem artists have with phones? Are they worried people are watching their performances rather than attending? I only go to a couple of shows a year (on a good year) and not once has a phone ruin

It shouldn't affect your prospects too much. Just keep your skills sharp while you an building and running your startup. I've built and failed at two startups. And after those failures I've found one of the most fulfilling jo

I work in international development. If you're looking for a career abroad and interested in working on solving interesting problems, the development sector is a good place to be. Pretty good pay, decent benefits, home leave, no issues

The first couple of times I called and confirmed that he did write the check. Also the banking systems keep copies of signatures so I checked the signatures as well. Once it became a regular thing, we made a note on his account.

That's correct. I worked at a bank for years and once a month I would get a check written from the same older gentleman on half a sheet of yellow legal pad. He apparently thought buy checks were a scam and he saw no reason to buy them

I've spent too much time rolling my own solutions and building stuff for clients. Now I just use Squarespace, simple, easy and I don't have to deal with any of the maintenance stuff.

I second this. I've been playing around with Meteor for testing side project ideas. Super simple to get up and running.

I use Nozbe to dump all my todos in via email or in the app. Then organize every morning. It's based around GTD concept but can be customize to your workflow. I needed an easy place to dump everything. As work uses Trello and my startu

I did at a large firm. They even had a no-remote policy at the time. I asked my boss to do a one month test, one day a week working remotely. I documented my production levels for those remote days to prove that my productivity could increa

Email to the landlord, they send a maintenance person to fix the problem. When we had a property management company, worked the same way, but they usually had someone out quicker.

For some reason I thought this would be a shipping container management platform. Having said that, I like it. I'll take a look and see if this could solve some of our problems.

Great read. I love to read anything about Carmack, it just blows my mind that he re-wrote all his engines from scratch. I can't even fathom developing at that level.

That font you are using is awful for readability. I would really recommend changing it.
