We are more than a one man operation; I am the tech end of it, and I have a partner that handles the sales cylce/marketing. The twitter is run by one man though, me.

Are you talking about the main slider images? It could be GIMP, I'll have to find a designer.

Cool, thanks for the feed back, makes sense. I'll get something put together tonight. The markets we are going after, aren't clear to us just yet. We have met with some startups, trying to get a sense of whether a CTO-as-a-servi

I saw some random headline today, that said something along the lines of "The US is in that awkward position, where we can't fix things within the system anymore, and yet aren't far enough along to start hanging the bastards&

I'd add that if you don't enjoy the cathartic release of sweeping the floor of your business, you probably shouldn't be running one, or aren't working hard enough.

I know it is the British who detained Mr. Miranda, and not the US but Groucho Marx would have loved the setup.

For sure, it has potential to work, it is similar to Fab.com's business model. They find local designers (in our case they sold our t-shirts), and they give exposure to the brand, in exchange for discounting merch. Nastygal.com is

Yes, this is probably one of the few scenarios I would partner up with a business guy (salary and equity), the others being a proven track record, or equity in a profitable co.

Do you have contact info you want to share? I am also in the same boat as you, but in a completely different area (development/operations-as-a-service is the best way I have come up with to describe it). Maybe we can collaborate, and

I would argue that you would never be able to see the manipulative aspect of her personality clear enough to have it affect the relationship.

I don't accept this premise. True sociopaths are typically not "assholes", or someone you don't want to be around. I'd bet this woman is probably VERY charming.

Having done a fab sale, it is a balancing act; The supplier works w/ fab to negotiate a time frame when the items need to be en route to fab. You get payed well after the sale though. So in our case, we were selling designer t-shi

"Instead of drawing the most likely conclusion, she instead blames this on local Long Island cops MONITORING HER GOOGLE SEARCHES." Ah...I get it...that would never happen in the US.

Not really an excuse in my opinion, no good can come from posting something like this. Granted we all make dumb mistakes at some point, but very few are felonious, and even fewer try to use it as a marketing avenue.

Does anyone know the reason as to why this is true: "However, to give the tip money to every worker would be illegal. The law is historically very clear — the $220 in tips belongs to the two servers only, and cannot be distributed to

Have you turned one on in your house/apt? Do that before you make the decision to sell/keep them. They are REALLY loud, and hard to stifle. Craigslist is where I would put them up on though, or a local hackerspace mailing list.
