This is what works for me too, and also making sure whatever room I sleep in is pitch black (very hard with all the friggin’ LEDs todays electronics like to have and not shut off when you “turn them off”). OP: Before you did this experiment

I use Simplenote on my iPod and iA Writer on my Mac, both changing the same database through Dropbox. This system works for me but I wish the Simplenote app had tighter Markdown support. I write all my notes in Markdown and it’s a pain to l

I have been in your position before—I still am in a way—and I can understand the frustration you’re going through. But first, I think you should really narrow-down the subjects you want help with if you want to find a dedicated mentor. Ther

This was my main reason for finding the right monospace font for me too, and to easier differentiate O and 0—I prefer a bar across the zero instead of a dot. But now that I’ve been using Inconsolata for years, it has become my final choice*

No. As a designer looking for work I’ve found that the people who truly want to work with me will ask for a portfolio and a friendly chat, maybe a link to my GitHub profile. Resume almost never comes into the discussion. I’ve also been on t

I believe—when Gearbox first announced they were working on DNF at PAX last year—that they were largely just finishing and polishing up what 3D Realms had worked on.

I just use Billings for OSX—simple timer in the menubar but it takes a few more steps to modify/delete timeslips compared to adding one.

This looks amazing and I’d love to pay for an eBook version, but Scribd won’t let me buy it as a non-US resident. Any alternatives?

Good stuff. If I can hassled into moving away from jekyll I’d probably migrate to this first. I like Tumblr but the data lock-in + shoddy uptime scared me, and this uses CodeIgniter—something I’m familiar with—so I’d probably have an easier

For me, music that I’m listening to for the first time is very distracting because I want to consciously analyze what I’m listening to—what genre is this, who sings this, what rating would I give it in iTunes, etc. Songs I’ve listened to fo

Reading the steps on Kotaku, I’m still not exactly clear how this procedure goes… So you enter the target’s email address and date of birth on the reset page. If that clears, then the next URL has a token in the query string that you can ap

Sweet project, but just a heads up: you forgot to set some fallback fonts for the Pricing area. I, and probably most people you’re targeting, don’t have Helvetica 55.

I really hate having to use Blackboard. I much prefer it when my profs just throw their files in a directory and let Apache serve them, than making me having to go through that mess…

Thoughts on the shakes: I almost never see those used online unless I indirectly initiate it, and usually it’s subtle ( http://foound.com/ ). I guess it does grab my attention on the landing page, but during the tutorial I wanted to explore

Build a prototype with a few features in both and see which feels natural to you. I like to bang out small, silly projects in PHP with CodeIgniter or FUEL because I can move fast with those. But I find Ruby and RoR more methodological and R

A FE is expected to know enough of the language in the backend that they can integrate a design without having to bother a programmer for help; the various ways to echo content, how to tap into helpers and make your own, etc. Seems rather o

You may be right. But repeating an action forms a habit, or in this case learning to not repeatedly open up HN or Reddit can become a long-term habit for anyone with the right mindset.

Well, if you haven’t hooked up with any of the following hacker/creator communities yet, you should definitely do so. Lots of interesting groups have been coming out of Winnipeg for the past few years. SkullSpace (WIP hackerspace): http://
