I like what this presents: "Learn by doing" thanks for posting it. Plan to run through it myself this weekend. I used to use GIT back about 15 years ago, but have found my ability to remember it is limited.

If you have AC be sure to pour vinegar down the water run off pipe. You can use bleach, as it is better at cleaning, but will damage the outside grass. Make sure water does not run up to the foundation of your house. The ground should ens

It is a very compound issue, that people look at as just a simple X vs Y. You have to consider: Benefits, taxes (both yours and the companies), cost of living, exchange rate fluctuations, and hours worked per year.

It depends on the phase of the project and how much I hate what I should be doing. Over the last couple of months, probably about 6 hours. The two hours are breaks where I need to rest my head, but napping is not allowed. Or going for wat

I have the same concern. I am thinking of having a friend send it in as if I am one of their kids. I am not sure what identifying information you need to put on the form. So I am just hoping to get away with it.
