"helping start the coupon movement over half a decade ago" Whoa, that's incorrect. Coupon sites aren't a new development and go back to at least the late 90s. One example is FlamingoWorld, started in 1998 and by 2001 was reportedly earning

If you're logged in to GMail in another tab, sign out and reload the Groups page. Also, tack 'topics?gvc=2' onto the end of any Groups URL to get the nice tabular view (you can get there through clicks but this is quicker).

I won't claim to have answers but I can share some impressions. The number of clicks you mentioned isn't a lot to judge a PPC campaign on. In such a small sample you never know where the clicks may fall--sometimes you'll get a bunch later a

You might try to find an external source of motivation. In my case when someone can benefit from or is depending on my work it provides strong motivation to finish. This could take the form of: - a partner/cofounder - a client (which means

I'd look to the Django community for examples of what hackers are doing in the field--that's been their bread and butter. LJ World, lots of stuff at Washington Post, Washington Times, EveryBlock (who received a Knight Foundation grant and w

No card security code either? That's bound to nip you in the posterior at some point (happened to me, though with tangible goods).

True, but that sounds like "security through obscurity" with regard to naming conflicts--two departments could both invent the same acronym as easily as a plain English equivalent (there must be a ton of "CMS" systems out there, considering

With internal applications you likely won't have concerns about domain name availability, trademarks, etc., so how about a simple, plain English naming scheme, e.g., "Timesheet," "Expenses," "Inventory"?

Don't trust 'em, use 'em. In FTE positions I've found recruiters to be particularly effective in negotiating higher salaries. I believe that's because 1) in a negotiation they're better situated to play the "bad cop" role, and 2) the custom

I love the taglines (somebody make this movie!): "The students were safe. Their computers weren't." "The suspect, somewhere, a dark genius." "I suspect it's an 'A' student. A good 'A' student."

Heavily slanted. Some points from the source article: "workers earning $150,000 or more make up 3.9% of the workforce" (the original headline was "More federal workers' pay" which paints a different mental picture). "The biggest pay hikes h
