what's your definition of shitty? Useful software used by millions of people who are glad to pay to remove this pain from their lives?

Thank you for that article. Well written and it hit me straight away. I struggled through getting my B.S. Mechanical Engineering - fighting to learn the heavy math load along the way. Looking back, it would have been nice to have the per

I do plenty of cold emailing, and this email is effective due to the counter-intuitive order of content in the email AND the brevity of the content. Starting out with the question will result in MUCH higher response rates than if you dump a

It might be sub-par to some people right now, but they are establishing a beachhead in the market. They can certainly improve feature/performance/product line and expand out from there.

For my other stunt (see my "C64" post also on this page), I got in early to the library room in 5th grade (1983). They had 20 or so Commodore PET computers for us to use to learn from. The teacher was going to have us play Orego

A friend and I in our early teens would purchase games for our C64 computers. This was a time before store return policies prevented getting your money back. The games were always on 5-1/4" floppies. We would attempt to crack the

I'm with you. Healthy is (largely) a choice. It's a 3-legged stool though (food, exercise, rest/sleep)...fuck up any one of those and you and your goals simply fall over.

You are definitely not 'fucked'. What others are saying - it's all about habits...and these can be changed. It sounds like your mindset is such that since you are fat...you are fat. For you, it's not about eating les

Capture, hell - I'd enjoy shooting them down with my Remington 877 Express (with gooseload), or maybe my .243 Ruger rifle....but only if they are hovering.

Yes because indie developers lead such horribly unique lives. Another pompous piece of shit Jeff Vogel calls his blog. Get off your ivory tower. People go nuts every day and every place.
