They are owned by a public company though, so they may have some sort of rules in place for talking about acquisitions before they happen.

I've been tracking my diet and exercise routines on Daily Burn, and I like it a lot. It's an easy way to track calories and macronutrients. You'll learn a lot about what you eat after you track it for a few days. http://dailyburn.com/

Yeah, I once asked about that kind of review at a company that didn't have it, and everyone automatically assumed that I hated my manager and wanted to get her in trouble. In fact, the opposite was true. For some reason people think that

One good way to learn is to watch others manage a project. I worked at GE for two years, and project management is pretty much built into the culture. I got to improve a lot in my own work by watching how more experienced people managed p

Last year I got busy with lots of small organizational things that were overwhelming. I read and implemented GTD and it helped me out a lot. Lately, I'm not quite that busy so I don't rely as much on some GTD things like the weekly review

Having your PayPal account frozen is only a problem if you don't move your money OUT of PayPal after you receive it. If you regularly transfer money into your company checking account, then you won't have any real problems. In the worst c

In general it's probably not a good idea, but it probably depends on the product. I have a web app that I charge a one-time fee for, but it only lasts for one year, so it's essentially a one-year non-renewing fee. It works because it fits

Looks cool. I read a Theory of Fun and it was really insightful. I probably won't follow along with this class due to lack of time right now, though. I see you're organizing the class mostly through your blog. If you find that to be cumb

Yes. The book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill does exactly this. It's an oldie but goodie. http://www.amazon.com/Think-Grow-Rich-Napoleon-Hill/dp/04492... It's how Bruce Lee set his goal: I, Bruce Lee, will be the first highest pa

A nice big filing cabinet that's sorted alphabetically. It's been great. I put things in manila folders that are labeled with a label maker. Straight out of GTD. It's helped me a lot.

Seems like an okay plan. I would put more importance on getting people to use your paid product. I've also has developed projects in limited hours per week, and the features I thought were important at the time really weren't after I put

I don't think it has any holes, but it could be inconvenient if they clear their cookies or want to use your site from a different computer. Instead of remembering one of their standard passwords, they have to dig through their email to fi

You can try making a product to sell, like the Bingo Card guy. It may not be a "cool" startup, but it's a step above CMS stuff.

I got my current web dev job by building my own website in my spare time. I don't have a CS degree or any other programming experience besides what I built. If you want those skills, go out and get them!

If you're having a motivational crisis, then it could be that you just don't like doing those things. Try something different for a change. Maybe radically different. However, your post is negative sounding all around. Having concerns abo

I almost got jealous, but just yesterday I ran across an article of yours while fixing some messy PHP UTF-8 bugs ( http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/01/turning_mysql_... ). Then I realized that you've busted your ass a lot more th

I don't know anything about your website and you expect me to give you my phone number? No thanks. Is there a link to a demo that I missed, because that would help a lot.

I've switched from PHP to Django for personal projects. Here's some random thoughts: - Deploying Django isn't hard at all. No more difficult than LAMP apps. - Python is a better language than PHP (IMHO) - Tons of python libraries to work

I haven't done it myself, but for your price range you'll likely end up on rentacoder. An article posted here a while back had some good tips on managing a project there: http://maxkle.in/the-subtleties-in-outsourcing-using-rentaco...

Wow, a lot cheaper than Slicehost now. $20/month gets you 256 MB on Slicehost and 512 MB on Linode.

There is definitely value in keeping up with news, especially since technology moves so fast. However, that said, 95% of what you'll read in a given day is trash. Cut out as much as you possibly can. Tim Ferris took this to the extreme, a

Wow, really cool. I like the idea and the development process. Very bare-bones MVP, but still useful. You'll even get to have an excuse to market it wherever you go. "Hey, why are you dressed like a cowboy?" "It's for charity. I have t

It's going to be hard to get work if you don't have any portfolio at all. Try designing some stuff for fun or for fake clients so that people can see what you're capable of.

How much value would you get out of speaking if it were free (assuming they pay for travel)? If you told them a price and they said no, would you be okay walking away from the opportunity?
