My desire to grow a successful company and cash out is not because I want to sit on some island - it's so I have more freedom and can get back in the game again, the next time around with more experience. I love my current company, I'm extr

If it works for you, it works great - if it doesn't, you're kind of screwed. Where "works for you" the vast majority of the time really just means "the model fits your needs" (that is, username that fits the validator, non-unique email addr

Huh, they changed their Python style guide to be essentially Pep8 - it used to be two spaces, all CamelCase, very nasty. Anybody know when they did that? http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyguide.ht... EDIT: Hurr, source

I made the mistake of buying an umbrella in Portland after living here for about a year. The sales clerk grinned slyly at me when I was checking out and said, "So, you're from out of town, eh?" You just don't really see that many umbrellas
