I can relate to that and there is also a reason why I left the industry. In my case, I started freelancing again as developer (which raised a few eyebrows at my first clients, but that went away quickly) and contracted a couple of years at

Given your skills and industry focus you might have good chances to land a consulting job at one of the big IT consulting shops in telecommunications. I have worked as a business consultant at Accenture for six years in its telecommunicatio

I bought mine less than a year ago. The main compartment is still curved, I can imagine the 24l version to be too small. Any laptop larger than 12" might get an issue also in the 26l version. I have a similar experience with water bott

I love my Osprey Stratos 26l [1] I use it for my daily bike commute, as well as for hiking, skiing and as day pack for traveling. It combines (almost) all of the features I'm looking for in a daypack: Mesh ventilation keeps my back dry

Your product really looks great but the fixed-rate subscription plan is an issue for me. Is there any chance you'll offer also a transaction-based price plan (like FastSpring)? That would very much help to use your service from day 0 o

Maybe you could find something in Joel Spolsky's earlier blog posts http://joelonsoftware.com ? Today, FogCreek focuses on their products, but in the early days they set out to build a developer-centric consultancy.

Yes. I'm currently using Mail.app and plan to switch to another client (and don't know which one, yet). I haven't tried out Mailbox.app but as I understand it only works on Yosemite so that's not an option for me. I&#x27

Yes, the USB image is so simple enough, that I'll just have to give it a try. Didn't know xpra, which could come handy from time to time. thanks.

Ah, the USB key suggested by you and i336_ is beautifully simple! Hadn't thought about that (but did come close by looking at the Compute Stick, which unfortunately is under specced for my requirements). Thanks for this.
