   Untested on Linux? Seems rather silly since Linux is the easiest to test on. It is free and installs wo a license in a VM. Guess I wont be the ginny pig.

   Why is he using disqus for primary content? If I want to see the discussion, I'll turn disqus on. When the primary content is hidden like this, I just go elsewhere.

   Instead of a motorized desk, use a second cheap computer. Put it on a fixed standing desk. Learn to use tmux, screen, or remote desktop protocol. Use them to operate your real computer which is in front of your chair equipped desk.

    I still have a Compac 450 workstation that probably would blow up if I turned it on. Got it from BBN when I worked there. Many of the others back then died this death. The thing is a tank! Which is mostly the reason I still have it.

    I read this until the guy said he used 'notepad' to write articles. Notepad? Really? He is a professional writer? Reading on was not worth my time.
