I like you approach to life. Over a 30 year period l loved my first job, didn't love my second job, and now love my third job. I got into self-protection in my second job. A mindset of, I am doing the best I can here, if it's not

My friend describes himself as liberal and he feels the same way you do. My politics are more conservative. I have sometimes wondered if he feels this way because he doesn't like some conservative points of view. I will have to ask him

You have a communication issue I think. It took me some time to realise you didn't mean present, as in presentation. Dumb your homepage down, it may be too clever. Great idea though :-)

I walk 3 miles everyday. It was the first step in me losing 80lbs over a two year period.

I think we admire what we know, for example, "technical". My advice is to remain open-minded. Life is about finding a good partner (wife/husband) and working hard at your job. Jobs come and go. The third job is normally the g

I lost 84lbs over the last year walking 3 miles every day and changing my diet. It takes me about 45 minutes to walk 3 miles. The walk also helps me to burn through my thoughts/feelings. I eat a lot of healthy stuff now like porridge,

Agreed, and this is what I did too. You just don't know how much a space it feels in your thinking and purpose until it is gone. I imagine their may be a cautionary tale in there about enjoying today.

You don't know what other people are thinking, and they don't know what you are thinking. If you make yourself fat and then lose weight you will have excess skin. Walking 3 miles a day is life changing. Paying your mortgage off ca

I'm helping my son buy his first house in the midst of much uncertainty and British politicians shooting our economy in the foot. My advice is just do it. There is too much fear in the younger generation. Probably the result of too muc

Your story confirms what I have often thought, life is about connections. My own tumbling into IT with no education was a series of connections. My three main jobs over the last thirty years were through my wife's friend husband, a tee

I left my job with $12k in savings just before covid kicked in and ended my new plan. I make more money now than before and really enjoy my new work. Someone with your skills will be fine.

Simple little thing I have started doing. Writing my home server's ip address to a text file on my Dropbox account. I also have a text file of whitelisted ips on Dropbox I check and add to the server's firewall if necessary. All m

A friend was training to be a life coach and I was his guinea pig. I imagine we all like to talk about ourselves so there was definitely a feel good factor. I guess the real test of life coaching is did it help you get somewhere you wouldn&

The Bible. I was just sitting reading the book of Revelation considering how many movies lift images directly from this book of the Bible. Then I read from Proverbs that charm is deceptive and beauty fades away. I regularly need reminded no

I give to local and overseas church work. Why? To give back where I have received so much and help others in need. Where I give is private but I do keep the details in a journal. It's encouraging to look back and remember. I'm pre

Identify where you are the problem. Most of us are oversensitive. I adopted an internal paradigm after many years of, "I am doing the best work I can here, if it isn't good enough, sack me". Give yourself a break, and make su

Nearly everyday starts with me eating porridge with fruit and then a coffee. I then read a portion of the Bible's Old and New Testaments. After this I pray the Lord's prayer out loud. I normally pause at hallowed be your name and

I think I am getting that GitHub is the answer...whether that is with a vs code server tunnel or codespaces. One of these will save me dragging my ssh config around and having to open up ports on one of my own servers.

Looks interesting. I installed visual studio code server on a cloud vm and it is connecting to vscode in the browser. The connection is being tunnelled through github which is handy.

Are you planning on being Batman? Joking asides, I would focus first on two things. Understanding what problem you would like to solve and whether or not there is a market for your solution.
