I have a OSX desktop and a Windows 10 laptop...I hate using my laptop and am thinking of dual booting with Ubuntu. I just wish I could go entirely Ubuntu but I would miss Lightroom/Photoshop and MS Office too much. I know that there ar

Basically it is the same as clicking the auto buttons in Lightroom or any photo software. Raised the exposure when needed, fixed white balance, etc...photoshop has been doing this since like 1990.

Interesting that they were generating pretty insignificant returns and their accounts got flagged. Their bets were not that large $50... wonder what aspect of their play got them flagged. I would assume the bookies are aware of when they ar

Thanks... I introduced the popup for facebook sign-in and it didn't change my conversion for new (adwords) visitors but like 10% more signed up with facebook so I kept it. My site posts a timeline post when a user creates a new round (unles

I had $200 of adsense free credit. Ended up getting users (like 100). Then I had $50 of Facebook credit and that turned into like 20-30 users. Just don't know what to do at this point. Don't want to spend more time adding features if it is

If you skip TDD then you should make sure that you take the time to build out test cases with full coverage. I can't tell you the number of times I have made a change then run regression testing and found unforeseen failures which I wouldn'

Understand the idea now. It isn't so much different then the model that article sites use. Content providers post an article (provide content) and get the opportunity to link/ad back to their businesses. Then the article sites make money by

Also there are a million joke sites out there you would have to either pick a very specific niche that isn't already packed full or you would have to have something that differentiates you from the other million. If you could get a somewhat

Boiling this down you are essentially talking about the same business idea that 99% of the internet runs on. Provide content and make money via advertisements. Only difference is that you have to go through the legwork of finding your adver

Also consider Facebook ads and target people who like things like Sports Pools, Online Sports Gambling, etc. I bet you won't get a lot of direct conversions but indirectly I bet you will get more organizers getting exposed to the offering.

This is very focused on sport. Perhaps it would make sense to have something sport related on the front page. I don't run an organization but I am interested in sports and like sports pools. When I visited your site I didn't really get it a

That sounds like a lot of fun. I am glad I am not religious. I have no problem with people having the right to do this type of stuff because I enjoy my right to laugh about it.

Go through Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial then pick something you want to make and struggle through it. My first project was a golf statistics/handicap site. ( http://www.golfingstat.com ) It took me a ton of time and it was super frustrati

What a stupid study. If asked whether I wanted to talk about someone else for 4 cents (the maximum they offered) or myself for free I would choose to talk about myself not because I enjoy talking about myself but because I don't want 4 penn

Using jquery on my current project throughout the site. For this reason I choose flot for my graphs...if I was to switch to rickshaw then I would need to use D3 + Rickshaw + Jquery. That is a lot of javascript library overhead. :-/

Highcharts looks slick. My weekend project is using Flot. If I ever generate some cash from it I might have to buy a Highchart license and make the jump. Looks so much better...:-)
