    I like this idea a lot, do you have an auto response set up in your email or manually send it to them?

    We use the heck out of GrayLog2. We have a dual datacenter setup with multiple elastic search instances. A coworker of mine did a fantastic job writing up our setup: http://secopsm…

    I've updated the site to include the details you were asking about. I was able to test it all on a OS X VM with great success. http://machacks.whiskykilo.com/hacks/app-store.html

    I do most of my listening on Spotify, that was the only reason for the jab. I've just given up on iTunes for my personal use.

    I believe it does. I will spin up an OS X VM and test it later tonight, since my MBPr is fully up to date. I will of course update the site with what I find.

    Between 20-30% would be my best guess. I'm including business emergencies as well, regarding client support. These emergencies get me out of the groove, which also adds up wasted t…

    Completely agree with you on this one. Only build the site if you're willing to maintain it long term as well, not just as a means to an end (get a job). Get involved in the commun…

    I think something that is very important to remember from the beginning, is to create a personal "Brand". Use the same profile picture everywhere, including LinkedIn. For your webs…
