I was busy working on my food site bestfoodnearme.com but my efforts have been slow in the last quarter. I am not yet sure where I will take it in 2018. Right now, I am working on finding a way to get more dishes listed.

#402I quit what many would consider a successfull job in programming and had a sabbatical year. Moved to a smaller town and down sized everything in spending to the point where I pay $600 per month for housing, food and bills, so living of my savings haven't been an issue at all. I have focused on things like reading (read +40 books in 2017, up from 1-2 per year), wood working, sketching, running and skiing. To keep up m…
What did you do about your social life? Isn’t that lonely to be away from friends and family for so long?

#403Left $150k software engineering job (well got fired for making video called "9 Ways to cope with having a boring 9-5 job" which somebody found and sent to HR) to make videos about stuff I think is interesting ( https://www.youtube.com/c/JDiculous1 https://www.facebook.com/HonestLogic ), with a slant towards addressing wage slavery, basic income, student loans, capitalism, etc. Still in the early stages, but I'll be h…

#4048 months of life without alcohol, pot, meat. Launching an agency/consultancy with a sister company that resells hosting and optimization.
How did it go with the alcohol? I am going to try from Jan 1. Plan is to do at least 2 months. Do you think its better to cut it off in stages or just abruptly?
How much do you drink a day? a week?
What made you want to stop?
I can help you out based on your responses.
It's doable, the first few days can be rough for the body but after that it's mostly in our heads. I've learned that people who are enthusiastic about drinking and getting others drunk usually have some other issues going on under the surface. Some people can just drink a few times a year or month, not me. I'm an all or nothing person, life got easier once I accepted that.
As for how I did it, it boils down to just making two columns on a sheet of paper and listing how alcohol has helped and how alcohol has hurt you. It became an easy decision after I did that.

Very impressive. Controlling yourself is way harder and far more rewarding than controlling others.
Thanks. I've learned to accept that I can't do anything about most of what's happening around the world but I can do something about my daily decisions.

#408This year I finished my project GeoJS. I want to open source it in the next couple of months and try and find sponsorship through Digital ocean or Vultr so I can place some more nodes around the world.
Also on my roadmap is updating the stack to use the newer versions of maxminds geoip dbs. This requires custom compiling some software I haven't got around to yet.
