Think of it from the other side (with levity): "I am using a composting toilet, which is using less energy/infrastructure overall than say what happens to everyone elses poop (it gets flushed and then composted). I feel good about

That is a pretty bold wager! I'm curious as to what your experiences have been to come to it. Anecdotally speaking, most of the folks I've worked with in tech (including myself) have come from modest means and worked low wage jobs

I've had success pursuing bad i.e. potentially illegal cancellation practices by filing a complaint through the attorney general's office where the company is located. In my case: 1) First I had a rough time cancelling my account

It's worth mentioning that the logistics and engineering side of the Pollock/Surimi production was just as interesting. Paraphrasing the book from memory, https://www.amazon.com/Catching-Deckload-Dreams-Bundrant-Se

Updated enough to get you going! Docs linked in the readme. https://medium.com/@franklovecchio/3878951179cd

Thanks! I guess I'll work on the documentation :) TLDR for now (pretty standard): npm install, bower install, update the .env file with creds/specific config, grunt run, foreman start.

Bulletproof coffee an hour after a warm lemon/honey water in the morning has done wonders for my energy levels throughout the day.

I've been trying to transfer a domain name (.io) purchased from them to _another_ Network Solutions customer for business reasons. I can't even pay them to make this happen. "It isn't possible" they tell me.

Where's a good place to find rentals outside of AirBnB if you're not physically there yet and want to plan ahead?

by franklovecchio 13y ago
It'd be cool to do this on a city-by-city basis. Like a nano Meetup or something.

None of those appear to be Arduino "shields", unless I'm not looking at them correctly? An Arduino shield is plug/play, whereas I would define a generic "module" as not.

No sim cards, correct.

I want to see http://fountain.io/ built into these editing tools. Screenplays in markdown!

Thanks! Yes, there are building codes (which I meet). Colorado actually has some sheisty codes compared to Chicago (where I'm from), so in many places I went overboard, which I think is OK. It's still a bit like the Wild West out

Call me Victorian, but I have seen some earthships near Taos..and they just don't catch the eye like a normal house. I guess that's relative. They _do_ have great passive qualities to them, but this _can_ be done with stick-frame

by franklovecchio 13y ago
You're absolutely right about the water rights; I don't _think_ I'll end up getting animals, but purchasing another 30 acres would be a good investment if I did want to homestead in that fashion and use water for other reason

Thank you. It is beautiful, and part of the reason I'm out here! I do love the vibe a good city can give off, though - getting lost in the mix and such. It's nice to be able to do that on occasion.

Yea, you're absolutely correct on this one! I do drive to Denver (3 hours there) a couple times a month, though, and I work at my company's HQ while visiting/staying with friends, etc.
