This is great! I love to see people exploring mood tracking and looking for correlations and insights. I hope you write more about what this helps you discover. I built Moodprint (…

Sorry -- we're still setting up, so things are a bit muddled. I've moved the welcome message onto the homepage and made the discussions public, so you should be able to get a bette…

Good luck! I traveled that road for a few years with a site called MyPullList (2007-2010, RIP), and had a heck of a time with ... basically all of it. I did have a lot of fun talki…

Gawande is one of my favorite non-fiction authors; I've learned a ton from his books and articles. I second (and would third and fourth if I could) the recommendation for The Check…

It's usually interpreted to mean that you need to respect that other people have ends of their own; they aren't just there for your benefit. I mentioned dating as a context where t…

To the link: are any of the major CM toolsets not backed by a company? Opscode, Puppet Labs, Ansibleworks, SaltStack... they all have corporate backing.

(Post author here) Absolutely -- I developed my entire setup in Vagrant. It was fantastic, especially in the early stages where I'd just share my playbook folder into the guest mac…
