Agreed, 7 days doesn't seem like enough time. Maybe they should make it so your first 3 leads/deals are free to see if it works start to finish.

But most generators need fuel. It's only a temporary fix. It's funny how a generator creates peace of mind, and yet we don't consider the magnitude of the disaster for which they give us peace.

This was well written. Sounds like he had less than 24 hours without power but turned the story into a doomsday journal entry. His note about cell phone towers losing power was scary. Never really thought about that. I usually assume the ph

Similarly I used to wonder how awful it would have been to own example.com ... until I found out it was an IANA special-use domain. But someone still owns test.com, and I can't imagine what that mail server goes through.

Very similar thing is happening for me as well, only for a large property management company. Their old sites were weighed down with an incredible amount of confusing technology. I redid the whole thing with PHP/HTML/CSS/JS&#

Software ages by association. Whatever system it's on or associated with dictates its life span. Like if you put a soda on a block of ice outside. It will last through the winter and stay solid. Wait until spring and things start gett

I recently deleted Reddit from my life. That was huge. I can turn off Twitter and would never know it was gone. But FB won't be that easy. It's important to me for a number of reasons: - Communities use it to communicate with thei

Ours ran various things in our escape rooms: 1) I ran a browser in kiosk mode with a mouse that was used with some custom software on a computer in the room. 2) We had it connected to a remote keypad that opened a magnetic lock, popping a d

Are you serious? If I put "Go fishing" into my calendar for next Monday, Google knows: 1) This person fishes. 2) This person probably buys fishing related products. 3) We know this person lives in X and fishes there, and business

How about something like that "make it juicy" keynote for game developers? It went from simple pong to a fully loaded game with shakes and sounds and particles. But you set it up so you can show how adding bits of code makes the g

As a web developer, all these "do it yourself" website systems make me sick. The end results look amateur and messy most of the time, and it's an insult to the industry to give people with no visual or code-based skills the t

I've been doing this for about 20 years myself. Everything I do, that I enjoy, I think to myself "I love this. I want to do this all the time. So now I have to make a business of it?" It was just in the last 3-4 months that I
