I'd really like to suggest my recently opened-source ERP project Stockor, but it's not quite there yet accounting wise. While it does have a full double-entry accounting system inside it, it's not fully exposed to the user ri

Well, in fact domains used to cost $100 per year. This was back when Network Solutions was the sole registrar. Some of my older domains date back to then. It really didn't stop speculation at all, in fact Robert Grant (well known dom

You know I did wonder if it was, since I googled it and didn't find anything :) The name does kinda have that sound, which made me wonder about it. :)

Yep. I've done a decent amount of research into why quick books is so prevalent and "accountant support/recommendations" is the main reason.

Hmm I wasn't aware of that when I named the product. I was going more for Stock (as in inventory) and Operating Room. I'm in talks with a designer for a dinosaur themed logo though since something about the name sounds like Rapto

Yeah, I've been in talks with my accountant on what would be take to interest accounts. Quickbooks has a neat feature where they package up all the postings and send them to the accountant.

It could be with a little more work. I don't currently support manufacturing, but do have kitting. You can have one SKU depend on multiple SKU's so that if one is ordered it'll place the sub SKUS as well. For proper manufac

Good points. I don't cover that at all on the landing page. It is 100% API driven using a a JSON REST api. As part of the open-sourcing process I'll be documenting that, but it isn't currently documented at all. The pricing

Awesome! Glad you liked it. I've opened sourced the website as well, it's all built as a static site using Ruhoh.rb and the source is at: https://github.com/argosity/stockor-dotorg You'll probably want

Thanks! I've auto-generated the data using the Ruby Faker gem and the API. I would like to locate better product descriptions and images but haven't been able to find a good open source for them yet. The scripts I used to do so ar

Well, I am using Bootstrap. But didn't want to have the Yet Another Bootstrap site look. Guess maybe I should have left well enough alone... In fact the website is built entirely on bootstrap and Backbone.js Using my liquid_assets ge

Great point. The main difference is that Shopify is great at e-commerce but it stops there. Stockor handles the entire supply chain from purchasing inventory to managing it and customer relations. You'd use Stockor to manage all your

Nope, that's done with JS to your time zone. Didn't mean for it to be creepy, was going more for humorous. Thanks for the kind words! Once I get it all finalized I'm also hopping for additional plugins to extend it way beyo

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that that's a 100% accurate assessment, since well, it was designed by programmer. I haven't lost hope on stockor.com at all. I'm hoping that the open-source version will drive additional at

I've always heard that FedEx and Southwest are the absolute best employers for pilots, and the regional carriers (who I was primarily talking about earlier) are the absolute worst. No real idea on how accurate that is, just stuff I&#x2

Really, I hadn't heard that. I was going off all the information that came out after the Colgate Air 3407 crash in regards to how feeder airlines treat their pilots. I've talked to several CFI's who are moving into regional c

Eh, I'm not so sure that'll happen. Military pilots aren't getting as many hours as they used to, plus it's actually a pay drop for them to leave and work for an airliner the way it is right now. Right now the airlines

by nathanstitt 13y ago
Yep, that's about right. If you do it right, schooling can be quite a bit cheaper, but starting is sometimes even less than 20k. Plus figure in "working" 60+ hours a week and only getting paid for 30-40 of them. It's n

Same here. I'm in my late 30s and am by far the youngest at any pilot gathering I attend. I really don't know where the airlines are going to get the next generation of pilots from. Of course with the horrible pay and hours, I

Opps, sorry.. guess it would have been good to actually answer the question. Any private pilot can fly at night. There is a newer class of license called sport pilot that does impose restrictions on night flight (and quite a few other rest

That's a great point. As a programmer it's also taken me quite awhile to recognize that I'm not a perfect snowflake and am quite capable of writing code that contains horrendous bugs. I've always recognized that while fl

IFR rated pilot here that's been flying for ~ 10 years. I agree with you 100% on the risks being largely under the pilots control. However I also believe that there's something about aviation that attracts the type of people who a

Hey, I own your plane's sister (N8550W). I'm surprised you didn't mention "Can you fly at night?" That's one I always get.

Look I'm not a "big conspiracy guy", but how does knowing the number of user data requests create any additional transparency? For all we know, there's only been one request, but maybe that request is something like: &qu

I've done two accounts with Braintree now, and both times have had very similar conversations with people there. They were fairly painless, but they did want all the documentation that you mentioned as well as assurances that we were

Indeed I did - thanks. I just remembered it was the version before 2008, as I left the company in the middle of the upgrade to that one. The columns being renamed on views bit us big time. We had a large ERP package that we'd built nu

SQL Server and the 'feature' was still present in version 2003, not sure about version after that.

You can do this, but I'd advise against it. I did this with one of my apps and have received quite a few complaints from people who can no longer find it by searching. It seems to me that quite a few people don't know about the t
