I use Binary Canary to alert me for down-time, which is about the same thing that Pingdom does. Just do whatever it takes for you to fall asleep at night. I recently bought a smartphone (N900) that allows me to ssh into my server from anyw

That hasn't been my experience. Maybe it's not a smooth as an iPhone, but it works well enough for me.

I've got a makeshift standing desk like that also. My plan is to replace the boxes and books with small shelves made of plywood. Shouldn't be to hard and will only cost a few bucks.

Well, that does seem out of the ordinary for a normal website. Then whatever you feel comfortable doing is probably the best thing. Keep it going, make it a read-only archive, sell it, or just delete the whole thing completely. You're pr

I just improvised a standing desk this past weekend with boxes and books, and I'm enjoying it so far. Better posture already at least.

Closing permanently seems like an extreme thing to do. If you've done all that you can do, then I don't see why you would feel bad about abuse on sites that you can't control. Another slightly less extreme option could be to start over cle

It doesn't really matter what proof you have. If your employer is suspicious and takes you to court, you've already lost. If you have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on legal fees in order to prove your point, then I guess this advi

Talk to a lawyer familiar with those issues in your state. It depends on what he signed and your state's laws. No matter what, it's still best to disclose it to his employer, just like this article suggests and patio11 also suggests: htt

I would just like to say thanks for being honest and up front. There are so many examples of non-technical people being demanding and unappreciative of programmers, that it's refreshing to see you have an open attitude about this. It's mu
