Also try Crackbook [1] for Chrome which delays pages instead of banning them. Works much better for me that Stayfocusd, which I just disable after a while. (Disclaimer: I am the au…

It seems to be using the pentatonic scale, which is generally easy to deal with. It is also quite limited though, with only 5 pitches available out of the standard 12 in an octave.…

I read a course on Python for a semester, and I tried to use a similar approach: relatively few tests, a minor project for warmup and a major project (with emphasis on attendance &…

That's the kind of info I was looking for. Thanks!

Yeah, BNI seems similar in idea, but I had my eyes on small, new companies in particular, as they have the most to gain from small-scale, inidvidual referrals. The larger ones tend…

I am thinking about putting up a website for startups that would help sales by getting referrals from other startups. The basis for the idea is threefold: 1. There is a lot of good…
