First Impression: For some reason, unless I can see an example of exactly what this looks like / a demo I can't see myself signing up. Signing up was fairly quick. However making my first post was a little troublesome: Hitting the "enter" b

From time to time I suffer the same issue. I look back hours later and get angry at myself for 'wasting' so much time. There are a few things you can do to help you out that others have mentioned. However this works for me the best: I edit

BurstNET is located very close to where I am. About a year and a half ago I toured their facilities for a colocation project. Upon walking in I was horrified. They rows of tower based servers with their cases ripped off on the wire-frame ra

Thanks for pointing this out, I really appreciate it. I reviewed some of the zones today and something was out of wack on the nameserver.

I think it really comes from the ease of the exit and the disconnect from anything human. Even when you come down to it on a snail-mail level there is still a human element to that communication. Whether it be the signature at the end, or h

As I commented before I think it is a bit of me still trying to give everyone a chance. From the brief it did seem like that something was off. I just have to keep developing on letting certain "opportunities" pass at certain times.

About four months ago I had a client who received their licensing information put in a claim on me. Even though I sent full documentation showing that they received their license they still refunded this individual. That did get me quite up

Absolutely. Once he IM'ed me I was looking for a way to get out of there without seeming rude. I cringed when he agreed to the price I gave. I thought it was going to end the conversation there. I am still working on growing a pair and walk

Just make sure to never treat your employees mine has treated me! And I wish it was Drupal, he refused to move away from .NET. I will say the CMS we used is the worst experience I ever had. It is horribly bloated.

As alexwyser said, I'm a bit odd. My wife first got Pregnant a few months after I got this job. (I worked there a bit over 14 months now. The first two months were really just be doing a design or two. for them.) Before this job the money f

Freelance may be my best choice at the moment. I do however have to make sure I have a little more in the bank before I make the jump if I don't have a full time position lined up. Instead of killing myself with extra side-work raising my f

Thank you very much for your reply. I agree with you on all aspects. It would be too risky for me to do anything but act normal until I settle my future plans out. One mistake I would have made would have been on the disclosure of my salary

I'm sure your great as well! Hell I'm 21 and I still can't do most advanced algebra. When I was nine my passion started working in GeoCities and Tripod. I don't know any nine year old who can actually do real web work. ;)

I agree with mnemonik. You wouldn't be able to gain experience in those listed skills without using them for something . There has to be some work of yours out there somewhere. And if not, start doing some freelance work or launching some

I do agree that my colleagues do need a little guidance in the situation as well. They are almost all new-hires right out of college and were never exposed to anything else. With bills it comes down the items I listed before (housing, car,

Thank you for the kind words. I think the key to my next situation is making sure the next group of people I work with give me my fair share. I think this falls into what a lot of people experience is the doubt in not knowing what you are w
