Same here though I'm leaning towards backblaze since there's no minimum.

Like many previous posters, my N5's battery is starting to die. I've changed it once and it hasn't helped. Otherwise, it's a decent phone and it has served me very well. I've thought about possibly going to the new OnePlus when it's released, BUT the lack of "long-term" support (more than 2yrs) bothers me.

I bought an iPhone 7 just to give it a whirl, but I eventually gave it to the wife. There's something about that back button that I can't let go.

Why not S3? I use Arq with my Mac to back up my important doc, which gets encrypted in my S3 bucket. However, I'm still looking for a viable method to backup all my photos and videos. Right now they reside on multiple external hard drives.

These guys are always hiring for the same position. Either they're too picky or people end up leaving once they join.

Wish they would fix the issue with the watch triggers.

My place uses GMT+4. It fvcks with us every fall.

Eh you didn't miss much. I logged in and there's nothing in the UI but two big buttons. I clicked on each one and nothing happens.

THis looks great, I've been looking for something like this for an existing project.

Question, I notice that if I submit test msgs, it all works and displays in the development project area. However, if I open a new browser tab and navigate to the same project, i dont see the history?

I'm looking to use this for deployment purposes. I can have the window open initially but what if a user decides to join our deployment process a few minutes later? he/she won't see what had happened.

I concur, I created https://iKeepm.com and I get a lot of inquiries for a business version. I just dont have time to create one.

I recently re-launched w/ a new design (frontend and backend). Also implemented Stripe. I have one user who signed up for the Plus account. i'm seeing more and more companies sign up.

The two most requests are mobile apps and a multi-property feature. I think there's a bigger market for property mgmt companies.

Launched in 2012 I believe it was.

Thinking of selling https://www.ikeepm.com.

- 6000+ registered users - 26,000+ items entered - 3000+ documents saved - 500+ visits per month (Someone good in marketing can boost this)

It's an online home inventory software. It was featured on Lifehacker among other sites related to home organization. My wife and I had a baby last year so I never had time to market it properly. A lot of folks want an iPhone/Andoird app but I'm not the right person for that.

Someone good at marketing can probably have this take off. No other competitors are as easy to use as iKeepm.

Note, I'm not an expert, I just run a free SaaS application (http://www.ikeepm.com). When I first started I tried 2-3 designs. There were certain words I was using that didn't yield good results. Ultimately, I tried copying what seemed to work for other SaaS companies. I tried to be original but I'm not a CSS/HTML expert.

Two things I learned, people like photos. So I added large photos showcasing some of the features. I also added larger buttons but the most important factor was not requiring the user to confirm their email addresses. Sure I get fake accounts, but I'll take that over losing customers who get frustrated over "lost" emails or not being able to get started within minutes.

I changed my signup process by requiring just their email address and a password. Once they signup/login, they can immediately use the service. I plan on rewriting the app soon and putting out a new design. It can definitely be better, but I just havent found the time to do it. So far it has worked well for me.

Having recently done this a few weeks ago, I can say it was the best thing to have happened to me in the last couple of years. Every job I've gone to was a step up from where I was (responsibility wise). I have never taken a job as a lateral move. I've only jumped ship when the opportunity was better for my career.

I knew I needed a change when I found myself installing RPMs all day. Not many people are fortunate to be in an environment where they can make recommendation or changes within an organization. When I asked if I could automate some tasks, I was greeted with a roundabout explanation on why we don't automate things. That's when I knew I had to get out. Other sysadmins were "happy" with their job. I guess for some folks, a 9-5 job is all they care for.

Me? I worry about what will happen years from now. If I'm 50 and need to find a job, can I market myself against someone who is younger? If I don't build my skillset now, I'm at a disadvantage many years from now. So to answer your question, when my job becomes so easy that I don't learn anything new or I'm not afraid of an upcoming task, that's when I know I need to question myself. If I'm not challenged, then what's the point of staying?

For some, it's a paycheck and a means to pay bills and raise their family. I'm in the same boat, but I also have to look at it in terms of how can i grow as a person both professional and personally. Nothing worse than waking up in the mornig and dreading to go into work. I can happily say I dont have that feeling anymore.

So how do you handle SSL for custom domain names?

A couple of Linode instances would've been way cheaper IMO.

I created an app which competes against a ton of others. I'm sort of late to the game but I did one thing better than MOST of them. I made it dead simple to use. My customers love using it and it feels great since I was able to turn a simple idea and made it very easy to use. I went from being on page 6 to being on page 1 (number 3 in Google results).

Yea, looks like they want to push out their own version after I make small modifications to it.

who do you use?
