I can handle all my own devops but am looking to avoid all the monotonous stuff as you say. Sounds neat anyways!

Sounds very similar to the cloud 66 route. Is it different (other than self hosted/managed)?

I've been really happy with cloud66. Discovering new features everyday that saves me from having to build nginx/postgres/passenger from scratch. Try it out, I think you'll find it provides the balance you seek.

The whole point of the article is that women DO own the dating game in their 20s. Just not in the 30s. So the answer is yes.

Would it be helpful if, given a list of symptoms you input: - Based on the most likely solutions others with similar symptoms had, give you a list of the most likely things to try? - A health professional with good allergy expertise respond to your questions?

Would that give you the support you need do you think?

Are these custom d3.js controls that you built? Would be interested in hearing about the process in building this out.

This is beautiful!

Homeland is REAL!

Look locally. In Ottawa there are literally dozens. Might have to ask around.

oDesk is really tough. You need to find ways to differentiate yourself from all-those-other-guys.

For starters, things like: - Having a higher rate ($100+) gives perceived value. - Calling yourself a software consulting vs. developer I've found to be a big deal. - Being able to nail down the expertise you have (or want to have) and articulating it in a sentence. For example: I specialize in rapid development of web and mobile apps with the first iteration delivered within two weeks.

I'm Jevin, the guy referenced at the end of Patrick's email. In my ebook coming out in two weeks, I have a lot of actionable stuff for employees interested in transitioning to freelancing.

Also, for most of the 10 people I interviewed, I asked them for specific advice for people interested in starting to freelance. I hope it will help you!

.. and indicate there are multiple people interested.

You're totally right. You can make money but only once you can reach a critical mass of others (read: lots). It's far harder to carry you there if you don't have a revenue stream for a small amount of users. That's why lots of peeps are fan of SaaS products. Money coming in from the first user.

Thank you for a being an encouraging voice on HN.

For sure. I don't have experience in large server farms but I would imagine one could do far better going that route than Heroku in the $5k plus range.

Nice visualization but HOLY CRAP is that normal for the police department suck up so much of a city's budget?

Interesting, but I might be missing the relevance.

This may/may not apply to you. I've wrestled with a (not medically proven) condition called candida. Basically too much such/alcohol/yeast causes a yeast build up in my GI tract. This causes major issues like:

- fatigue (I was falling asleep at my desk at 10:30am after 11 hours of sleep) - "Brain fog" (Best definition I've heard, it's the lack of the ability to focus after about 10 minutes etc) - Depression (This came on when I would have too much sugar. It would really mess with my head)

Anyways, after some anti-fungals and cutting out most sugars from my diet, I'm 80% better now. I can put in a full day's work and can hang out at night without feeling repercussions the next day.

I also found out I was celiac. Go figure.
