Howdy! I keep hearing this damned buzzword, "DevOps," everywhere I turn, and it happens to come at a time in which I'm looking to refocus my career anyway, so I'm looking for some …

Thanks! I'll give oDesk another look. I'd just always heard about the difficulty finding an actually talented contractor, but I like your approach.

Not entirely helpful, but I'll bite. I'm more than willing to pay higher than "standard" rates, I just can't afford to do so here. The numbers I hard from the Philippines, for inst…

Hello! I've finally gotten my business to the point that I NEED to hire on at least one subcontractor to take over some of the development work on my plate. My first thought was to…

Grow up.

Not exactly a tech announcement, but my work is in technology and it addresses a problem I believe many of us deal with -- time management, focus, lack of structure, lack of measur…

Changing the name would certainly help, but if I'm honest, I couldn't reasonably ask for a "can't afford it license..." My business could certainly absorb the cost, I just don't wa…

Definitely looks fantastic (assuming, of course, everything works as roadmapped). Gotta say that the price is a bit of a turnoff (can't see paying double my yearly server cost for …

Thanks, all! Excellent suggestions.

I'm taking a break from launching endless waves of apparently useless apps/services (no complaints), and I figure in my downtime I might as well begin picking up a new platform/lan…

Just wanted to let you guys know, in case you see this, that I've added a standard e-mail/password sign up/sign in option to the service -- I hope you'll take a look!

Following feedback from a Show HN yesterday, I've added "standard" sign up/sign in (as opposed to requiring Facebook) and thought I'd ask for reviews again. MsgMe.at is meant to be…

You pick it from the list and I use it to calculate the difference between the current time in your zone and the time you want the message, then add the difference to GMT time on m…

I appreciate it. I'll look at adding a standard login mechanism this weekend. Bottom line is I want this thing dead-simple, but this shouldn't add too much overhead, I suppose.

For you, or is this a broadly-observed view for customers in general? There are lots of Facebook-only apps out there, and I only selected it because it makes it incredibly easy to …

I realize there are a hundred solutions that do the same thing, but I wanted one that was ultra clean, ultra easy, and just got the damn job done. I'd love any feedback or suggesti…

I don't know if I agree with the notion that the service model itself (or at least it's pricing model) isn't viable.... People ARE using services like these (see UptimeRobot and Pi…

Thanks for the feedback. Obviously most of us in the highly technical crowd could very easily throw a script like this together, but I'm targeting a somewhat less technical crowd (…

Okie dokie -- Monitor For Me as a home alarm monitoring service was an utter flop, so I let it stagnate while I moved on to other things. The other day a critical server of mine we…

Well, for anyone still following, not quite sure what to think. HN sent about 2000 uniques (between direct clicks and shares) with about 10000 page views on day 1. Then it died....…

Thanks for the comments all! I'll take a closer look and reply ASAP (got the "real job" thing distracting me at the moment). For those who noticed: multivoting has been fixed (or a…
