Get one or two Raspberry Pis and start experimenting. I run an ethernet cable from my router to a $10 switch. The switch connects to a desktop server, some Pis and an external wifi point. I went from tinkering like this over the years to an

I'm an older guy Chris and I'm guessing you are in your 20/30s? I was just musing today how my home networking hobby shaped my work life. I'm sure the journey you have been on will shape your life too. Keep doing the stu

I read a two thousand year old book this morning that said we shouldn't measure our life by our wealth. I just watched the news article about the dinosaur, extinction event, find. And still, many will make wealth their goal and waste t

I think in your world you are asking others to tell you how to easily write a song. Point is, it's not easy :-) I 'd stick with the paid solutions you mention. I got paid a lot of money for writing code which takes data in a sprea

Your comment touched on something which was on my mind when I was writing my own comment. The problem of pain and suffering. A lot of modern 'success' thinking does not consider the difficulties of life. I am inspired that you hav

As a guy of 50 I observe we are at the end of a 20 year sales funnel squeeze for the big online providers of free. As the article points out when companies start to charge they may not be charging for what we want. For example, I've ju

I was very unhappy in my work for a long time. I found that doing something entirely different at the weekends helped a lot. I now have a small shed/office, big shed/office and small patio in my garden. I made them all with my own

I was 10 in 81. I would travel several miles from home playing with my friends. Bikes were a big thing. I had no computer and played D&D. I read books like Stig of the Dump, The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Your favourite tv show was o

50. I wish I had not been so fat. I lost 80 pounds over the last 2 years walking 2.5 miles a day and eating more healthily. I wish I would have saved more or taken pensions more seriously. I wish I had made my kids do more chores around the

The bible is the story of Israel, the life of Jesus, and the birth of the new testament church. It is history, teaching, prophecy and songs. The penny dropped for me many years ago that because it says it in the bible doesn't mean God

One of my best friends is a scientist and like yourself makes many generalisations. I find this ironic as he likes to see himself on the side of fact. I do not hate non-spritual people. I am surrounded by spiritual people and can't thi

I know one person who wrestles with the fact they and their long-term partner have adopted different world views. Faith, no faith. I know another person who broke off a new relationship based on faith, no faith. I would advise not be afraid
