IMNSHO, Snow Leopard is the last release of OS/X that didn't suck. Actually it may be Xcode 3 that really made the difference -- all I know is that when I had Snow Leopard on all my machines it was easy to write Mac apps in Lisp. Now I have

In my 25+ year career, the periods where I accomplished the most and am most proud of my accomplishments are in fact those times I averaged somewhere between 25 and 30 hours per week. Those times when I've been part of a team that valued

Before you invest time in a test, perhaps you should invest a little time in presenting yourself as someone who actually could hire a freelancer. I'd have contacted you last month if all your domains didn't lead to dead-end godaddy pages.

Ah, so apparently you have yet to discover the secret to enjoying life. It's called "not giving a fuck" and it works like a charm. And by the way, I have frightening dreadlocks and though I may in fact, get the occasional "YOU'RE a programm
