    Repositories for code

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Milenko makes some good points about the benefits of Github having more 3rd-party tools & integrations available. That said, I used BitBucket for a couple of private repos, and it works just fine for basic version control. Not as fancy as Github, but you can't beat the price!

    Big things start from tiny 1's and 0's

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    As the previous two posters said, you'll want a local dev environment. XAMPP is a pretty good option (and you can run it from a USB drive or Dropbox). Even better would be to set up a virtual machine that matches your web hosting environment so you don't have any surprises due to different...

    What Should I do With this Rare Skill ?

    HOT! 
    Although they're still working out the legal issues, NJ is trying to legalize sports betting in Atlantic City. If they get that sorted out, you could make the shorter trip next season to make your bets without the high fixed cost of a flight to Vegas.

    Is there a way to track call leads I bring my clients?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    IVR = Interactive Voice Response. It's the "press or say 1 to reach the sales department", etc. system that a lot of large companies use for inbound phone calls.

    Need a short .com? 4-character .com domains up for grabs

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hi all, I've got 4 4-character .com domains that I bought on a speculative whim last year and haven't found a use for. I was going to let them expire, but I figured I'd see if anyone here wants them. The domains are: 14m4.com 44hs.com tr3f.com w375.com They are all registered at Badger.com...

    Free with ads or paid with subscription

    If it's a series that follows a logical sequence, make the first video free with ads and charge for access to the rest. With a long enough series, you can also make one of the more advanced videos free. That will demonstrate that you know what you're doing at a deeper level and attract more...

    A service for english-speakers who want to immigrate to Chile

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Working on your site every day is a fantastic plan. Even though you might not see a lot of progress each day, at the end of the month you'll have made enough changes to start to figure out what is working and what isn't. Your sales copy actually looks pretty good to me. If you don't like it...

    A service for english-speakers who want to immigrate to Chile

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    First off, your site looks great. It has a very professional look & feel. The persistent banner across the top has a good call to action as well. One way to make this site more Fastlane would be to write an ebook that provides a complete overview of what you would need to know to move to...

    Plugin for WP?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    There are quite a few free booking/scheduling plugins for WP, as seen here: http://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/scheduling http://wordpress.org/plugins/birchschedule/ Depending on what you're looking for, you could customize one of the open source plugins to suit your needs, or find something...

    www.weddingchapel.com

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Did he close down the wedding chapel business entirely? I checked out site archive in the Wayback Machine and it looks like it is the sort of business that he could sell to someone else in the wedding business - another judge, a wedding planner, etc. Unless he is dead set against selling (or...

    What popular sites using PHP or WP?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Facebook runs on PHP, so it can definitely handle lots of traffic. While there is some difference in speed between programming languages and frameworks, it shouldn't be your primary concern if you're just getting started. Whatever language/CMS you know best and can get the best support for is...

    Not so newbie question: Building a complex website

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Scraping craigslist is a good way to get a cease & desist letter and/or lawsuit from them. I'm not sure if 3Taps still grabs CL posts as archived by Google or not, but they might be an easier and more legal way to grab at least one set of data.

    Non dot com names, brand suicide?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm a bit late to the party, but to echo MJ's post and the general sentiment of the thread, definitely get a .com unless you are some sort of networking business. And even then, get the .com too. Especially if a band has your .com, as they are not going to want to sell it at any price. I'd...
