I always got jobs through tips from friends, I don't like recruiters and such to be honest. I always feel they don't care for my jobhappyness, while friends won't advice a bad job (or at least not on purpose).

I think you're looking at woman as they where a computer. There is no logic, there are feelings. I know it's pretty hard to explain, but look around you. I know quite a few normal guys, better looking then me who never have girlfriends, not

1) I started with BASIC/QBASIC, assembler, some C, html/css, javascript, php and then some python. Later at school I got C/C++, Java and VB.NET but by then I was already web development for quite some time. 2) At first I only had old books

This probably sounds strange, but for me it would be as from the moment the sandwiches aren't free anymore. Let me clarify: I don't think it's something measurable, it's when you start noticing small things like, for example, sandwiches are

Great idea, but as I suggested on your website, you should have a favicon. It's part of the identity of a website. If you don't have it, it feels like something is missing.

Lately I've become a big fan of AIR, they make great instrumental tracks, as well as songs with lyrics. I tend to listen to the soundtrack of the virgin suicides quite a lot. Many people don't like the atmosphere of their music, but I feel

Here (Belgium, Europe) it's also unbearable slow most of the time. It even made me use imap to fetch mail. That seems to be unaffected by the slowness, so I guess they are only having issues with the front-end. That or they are re-factoring
