Yes, but you need a server in the US, so you can ssh to it. Just so you know, for anything that works over a socks proxy you can already do that easily with ssh (using the -D switch, check the manpage). You then need to configure your clien

I'm at home with vim (10+ years + a finely tuned and pimped up ~/.vim/) and have used vimoutliner a lot, but it goes in the opposite way for me: org-mode is one of the reasons I'm considering giving emacs another chance :)

With my 8 years old boy I covered Logo and MIT's Scratch. Now we're getting a pimped up arduino starter kit for us. Oops, I mean, for HIM! ;) We're also fiddling a bit with Google's App Inventor, which uses http://education.mit.edu/drupal/

If I had to nail it down to one advice, it would be: Get high-quality, designer, jeans and classy shoes. You can throw almost everything on top of that and still look pretty good. Learned with past gfs and current (wife). On the other end,

Without asking, you are already living the path of the "no". If you realize that, it becomes a lot easier to change your mindset. I'd even say it's not about being hardened by rejection, but rather standing up for yourself. Speak up. Dare t
