Yeah, sorry for the somewhat nebulous nature of the question. having direct access only to my own brain, it's now abundantly clear that it's quite easy to fall into the trap of assuming that everyone uses email accounts in a similar way to

No. However, I was going to say I can pay you the princely sum of one shiny upvote for your participation, but it appears I can't even do that. Or if I can, it's not showing up. :-( You'll have to settle for me thinking "Thank you, wlievens

That's another possible way of putting it that's probably as good or better than what I came up with, thanks.

If it helps, for my purposes, I'd call you a 'yes'. :)

I can see how this would make my question difficult for you to answer. Perhaps I should amend the explanation a little. It's always hard to try and account for people's individual interpretations when I do this kind of stuff. Maybe it's jus

Another vote for Pinboard. Been using it for some months now and I love the minimalism. I've had one occasion to contact support and my issue was very promptly addressed. Highly recommended. @idlewords: just make sure you're ready for the p

Thanks. It would seem that my blog platform is having a little trouble with dates/times at present.

Working on my own projects, I've been starting to feel like: well, how can I expect people to pay for the things that I create if I'm never willing to do the same for them? I've also come to the realisation that sometimes time is more valua

Is this really what elections are still for? I remember the sense of relief and elation of many around me when Obama was elected. Change was coming and many people seemed to feel that the best time for it was when the old system has all but

Eh, thanks. I think I've been staring at a screen for too long today, completely spaced on that bit. I guess my position is the same though. In the early days I'd have to go with not giving direct cash to charities. I guess if a start-up ca

What if rather than giving a hard percentage of one's earnings, one could try something like giving your product/service away for free or at a large discount to non-profit/educational orgs or the like? This is the kind of thing that I would

Well I guess I should really just speak for myself. I am less of a fan than I was before. The fact is that good customer service does not extend to posting customer's full names and addresses on a public forum as part of some kind of fucked

I guess it depends how private the data needs to be. My view is that for stuff that's even vaguely sensitive, it would be nuts not to use TLS/SSL for data in motion. But you also need to think about whether it's acceptable for the data to r
