You may have had a bad experience freelancing but there are many others that love it, myself included. This is not funny.

SEEKING WORK - Remote.

I'm primarily a PHP developer and I'm booked until the end of July. I'm looking for short-term contract work starting in August.

I love working with Laravel and Kohana but have also spent a decent bit of time working with CodeIgniter.

I prefer to work with PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS, & Javascript but I have some experience with Ruby, Python.

Email is in my profile.

I'd definitely put a Sign Up button in your navigation area up top!

I've been using Postbox, which is some kind of fork of Thunderbird, for a while now and don't hate it.

I'd love to learn about your bean to bar process AND how it's different than what's out there! :)

I would love to see a video about this process. I think I'd be intrigued to buy some chocolate if there was a sample pack to see what it tastes like.

procollective.com ryross :) Thank you!

I use and enjoy namecheap.com

It really depends on which city you live in. 72k is more than enough for most small cities. Where would you live?

We were there for two weeks about a week ago. You're living in a lovely city!

Oh cool. I skimmed right over that. I still meant iOS-like toggle buttons but thanks!

For some reason, I had expected this to be default in Bootstrap. Thanks for posting this

Awesome tip. Thanks!!!

Would you be willing to post information about the strawbale houses that were built to code? Where can I find more information on that?

I've heard that good newspaper writers write the most important information at the beginning of the article so that you can keep reading if you're still interested but get the main points quickly.

I read this article then came back to read the comments. I hadn't even noticed there was a sidebar. So yes, I'd agree with you, I focused much better on the actual article with a hidden sidebar.

Note: ngrep can also be installed using brew on OS X.

I have. Their meetings are on Saturdays and I usually have plans on Saturdays

It's not a HN meetup group but there is the SB Hackerspace: http://sbhackerspace.posterous.com/

I don't think comments are truly necessary at launch. IIRC, Reddit launched without comments.

This was a long read but very inspiring. While I don't have social anxiety at the level that he did, I still am anxious in some social environments. It was refreshing to read about someone getting past social anxiety. I'll be using some of the assignments as inspiration for my own life. First assignment, leave the house (I work from home) and talk to a stranger every day.

I also wondered how they were doing this. I tried to do something similar with donations for non-profits and got shot down.

I found it on the Google Blog announcement:

"Monthly subscriptions will start at $28/user for businesses and $20/user for schools."

Where am I missing the references to price on that page?

I held a meeting with my client and I told him that I had enough work at the new rate to fill my work week (which was true) and that I didn't want to create a situation where I prioritize some client work over other client word because of the different levels of pay. The client wanted to keep the same rate and quality of service that I had been providing so he agreed. He told me that he obviously wasn't happy with it but that I was worth it. I went into the meeting with two options that I would be happy with: not continuing work for that client, or working at a much higher rate.

I can't agree with this quote enough:

"If you're mad at your client for any reason, it only means you're not charging him enough."

Tripling my cost per hour made working with one of my clients much more palatable. Please consider raising your cost if you're not happy with your clients.

I consider myself an introvert and most of the descriptions under each myth were spot on for me. Shared it with a few people to explain how I think.

Ok. How are you going to execute better? Have you talked to any of your competitor's customers? Do they have any gripes about the website/pricing?
