I tend to alternate between two schedules for a week or more at a time: 12-2AM: Life is busy and I've lost track of time but I am always in bed by 2AM. 10PM (ish): My body is in tune with the sun and so I'm waking up at 5-6AM by the light.

I could have used this last week when I hosed my box running the Lucid Lynx upgrade from 8.04 (I lost networking). I can easily justify $5/month to not have to waste my time rebuilding a server like I just had to…

NoSQL/NoREL is a tradeoff of features for performance. If you don't need certain features and you can make the trade and need the extra performance than it can make sense for some people. I don't think it applies to everyone. They made the

On the subject of "don't get informal before the formal interview but I'm nervous unless it's informal", why not use two people and clearly delineate their purposes to the interviewee: one person to be informal and get them comfortable befo

How well would you say you know South? I felt that way at first but once I got to know South I found it to be much better than custom queries.

I'm excited for that but what I really meant was split/sharded databases, something you need at scale (which Fluther doesn't need...yet). Correct me if I'm wrong but the upcoming multiple database support can't do that. http://en.wikipedia

Personally I find a single text file + Dropbox both simple and all I need. I always know where to look and I can reorganize however I want. If I'm looking for a registration code or a favorite quote or a handy command line snippet, I can ju
