tereno··on Ask HN: Saturday dilemma
Days off on all Saturdays would be ideal. Fun and games I think should be random and during the 40 hours of the work week.
tereno··on Ask HN: posted startup jobs at github, 37sigs, and only 6 resumes?
Terribly sorry but I have accepted a job offer. I do appreciate the opportunity to talk to you guys though. Good luck finding someone!
tereno··on Poll: How much do you average per freelancing gig?
I would love to hear how you guys got your gigs? I'm looking to do something on the side but haven't been able to find anything concrete.

I'm based in Toronto but I'll give it a shot nonetheless.
tereno··on Ask HN: Startup ideas based around education
I'll hit up Google and go find some. Are there any specific forums/sites you can recommend?
tereno··on Show HN: Education News
Thanks for setting this up! I am looking to get into the education space and am trying to generate some ideas on how I can build a business around education that is sustainable. If any of you have ideas, I would be happy to hear it.
tereno··on Ask HN: Anyone on HN running a web startup with 50K+ a year net profit?
How did you figure out your pricing scheme and did you suspect people might need and pay for this before actually building it?
tereno··on Ask HN: Anyone on HN running a web startup with 50K+ a year net profit?
I would love to have a chat with you about your experience, if you don't mind that is?
tereno··on Show HN: CircleRiot. If Google isnt interested in the idea, i might as well try
If it works, fantastic but I'm really curious if people would submit their email address for something they have absolutely no idea about.
tereno··on Ask HN: sideproject, generating revenue & profit what's next?
Congratulations and it sounds extremely inspiring to hear someone is doing something about education. I would love to get into the education space but I can't seem to pinpoint an idea that's sustainable.

If you have a moment, I would love to have a chat about the challenges you faced when you first began and so on. I know you're still facing challenges but I think the fact that you've proven to get the initial traffic is a big win. I think one of the biggest proponents you can do is to get your customers to sell for you - get the parents to spread it to their friends and other parents.

tereno··on Need a Job? Build Something Cool.
I'd say kudos to the lad for his work. It's a fairly decent idea but I personally wouldn't use it. Never really like any of those "play something random" stuff. Someone out there might love this idea though. With Google Instant, I felt that the speed of change was quite drastic. Every single letter I typed caused the UI to change. Don't really fancy it now but we'll see!
tereno··on After Google hack, Microsoft asks users to abandon IE6, XP
When you're a business who's non-technical, you probably wouldn't know a thing about upgrade. All you cared would be minimal cost for maximum ROI. I would agree they are poorly managed - some people assume IT is easy. Clearly, it's not.
tereno··on After Google hack, Microsoft asks users to abandon IE6, XP
Unfortunately that's what they've been doing for years and years now.. IE 6 is definitely reaching its end of life and companies that depend on it are unfortunate. Probably at the time, they never thought of designing a system that would be independent of the platform. All new PCs come with IE 7 or 8. Applications that only run on IE 6 would mean they would only run on Win XP - companies would have to upgrade as any new computer that they purchase will most likely be incompatible with their application based on IE 6.
