I'm reasonably fit, but I'd never stood for the whole day, until two weeks ago. Then I started running the family business while the parents went away for vacation. I decided to st…

This is awesome! If there was a similar blocker for Mac, I'd totally use it. Although, I'm not sure why it is called "Focus". But hey, this way I can share my Firefox plugin called…

Don't forget to exercise, just in case.

Hey all, I'm a long time Rails developer who has been on the MySQL / Postgres + Ruby/Rails + Redis stack. I've been playing with Node.js lately, and it seems that the Node communit…

Potatoes are very nutritious. Maybe there's a less greasy way to make fries so that they'll taste good? Maybe make them in coconut oil and a lot less salt? All the meat served in r…

Remember folks, every single piece of correspondence we send should be valuable to the receiver. Welcome email? Great - tell them something that will help them to get setup. Referr…

Is there should be a way of creating an "original" file - the first, which can only be moved, rather than copied? The copy will always have a "copy" symbol on it of some sort.
