Consulting would be perfect except when the lights go out you don't own anything.

on: Web typography for non-designers
Realising that different font sizes need to be in proportion to each other (e.g 3:4 or golden ratio) made the cake for me when I briefly studied typography a while back. This article touches it as well.

My vote goes for the short 1-minute video with understandable presentation of how the product works and solves my problem rather than reading paragraphs of text.

The occasional screen freeze with Macbook Pro late 2013 model here. Too bad its not covered by this program. Oh well, have to restart it manually here and there.

on: My Love-Hate Relationship with Stack Overflow
The recent funding news seemed really strange when I have been feeling like the author for a while. I think SO is going downhill fast and people running it don't even realize it. Joel, where are you? So sad, used to like SO when it came around and now the way it's being moderated makes you want to just leave.

Sneakers - one of the best computer movies when I was a kid. I used to watch it over and over again. Good times. Must go find it somewhere. That movie probably had an impact on actually getting into the business later on.

This thing rocks! I always thought about building something similar - didn't know it's called linear programming though.

on: Show HN: Think Tank – Web design and development inspiration and project ideas
I need inspiration at specific time and for that a periodic email is not going to cater me well. Would you consider delivering this in some other format - for example online gallery that is available when I need it?

on: Paperwork: An open source Evernote alternative
I'm desperately wanting this also. I found that you can have unlimited nested _tags_ but the UI just doesn't support tags as first class citizen and doesn't have convenient way to move notes between tags while showing hierarchy (for notebooks I'm doing Ctrl-Cmd-M all the time).

Stale is stale wherever you put it - page four or on top. Technology moves so fast that that responses from 2009 to HTML/JS question should be just ignored no matter how green the accepted checkmark.

Your post has been closed as it does not describe a real problem but is instead suspect to opinions.

Now this, my friends, is one of the major problems of stackoverflow today!

on: Apple Software Quality Questions
Ahh, finally a blog touching this! I've been quietly pissed off for a while at being unable to get Apple TV to connect or closing a full screen video tab in Safari without killing the whole process. And other bits and pieces that occasionally just don't work goddamnit.

Maybe you're experiencing small signs of burning out. Have you thought about taking some time off to think what makes you tick (or even changing a job)?

on: Sass Guidelines
Looks really nice but it kind of lacks tackling the difficult issues - like guidelines what to put into classes and how to name them to avoid css class soup. By the way the "7-1" foleer organization is not something you would do in a big programming project (organize things by their type but of use instead). There was a nice blog on it that used analogy of "Socks Drawer".
