    Holy Scam Batman! (Pricing and Profit Discussion)

    RANT 
    Do you honestly think the management and shareholders of Amazon, Geico, etc get together and say "hold on guys and gals, we are approaching 25% profit, let's just grow our user base or make some funny commercials this year to hold back profit." They are doing these things as strategy to make...

    Linode.com server review

    I haven't used panels in a while but zpanel looks like the up and comer and learned some lessons from the issues of cpanel (http://www.anchor.com.au/hosting/development/we_hate_plesk_and_cpanel) You guys should definitely check out Fabric/Puppet/Chef/Ansible/Salt. They all basically do the...

    Linode.com server review

    Good overview. I'd setup a multi-tenant architecture in the early stages to use a separate schema for each client. Great article on it. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479086.aspx I'm a Django/Python guy so I'd follow pretty close to what Instagram has setup but obviously on a much...

    Linode.com server review

    You generally don't remote desktop into the VM. You use ssh on the command prompt to do everything and you have access to the VM file system through windows explorer. It's like having a linode server running on your local hardware. youtube vid on it:

    Linode.com server review

    Yeah, they don't explain it very well on the site. Vagrant is basically a wrapper of https://www.virtualbox.org/. You can quickly spool up VMs, share them, install packages via a config file, share local folders to the vm, etc. basically it makes local linux VMs awesome and takes away all the...

    Linode.com server review

    Agreed. Digital Ocean is also really good but still a bit untested and have had some issues (but cheaper as well). I have my deploys fully automated with fabric[1] so all I do is run "fab deploy" in my command line and all my code is pulled down from github, packages are updated from my...

    Honest feedback needed : Website layout

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    It's a good start but I agree there is too much going on. Your main page should do two things. 1.) what is in it for me (value prop)?. 2.) what do you want me to do (sign up)?). Take a look at these two examples. They clearly state what the value is and have clear large call to actions...

    I highly suggest you read the below two books. Your behavior such as being timid and gauging her reaction with a ring is exactly why she has gotten cold. She would date a 13 year old boy is she found timidness attractive. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004A8ZWM4/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20...

    WEB DESIGNER Business Partner Wanted!

    PEOPLE 
    You should just modify a theme from https://wrapbootstrap.com/. Giving up 50% equity for a web design seems pretty silly - it's pretty much a commodity market now with Twitter Bootstrap and/or Zurb Foundation.

    Need advice getting more traffic/sales

    MARKETING 
    1.) Your site looks pretty cheap and dated. The logo is jagged and is off. Compare this to a site like http://www.autopartswarehouse.com. Id spend the $500-$1200 to have this reskinned if you can't do it yourself. 2.) Buy adwords traffic. You should have adwords campaigns for every part you...

    Not so newbie question: Building a complex website

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Ignoring the CL scraping issue for now, why not just use Django if you are going to use scrappy? The two integrate. The tech stack I would use is this: 1.) Scrapy for the scraper 2.) Django and PostrgreSQL 3.) Mezzanine with Cartridge for the CMS and payments. http://mezzanine.jupo.org/ As I...

    Does the Commandment of Time really matter?

    EXECUTION 
    Have you read E-Myth Revisited? I highly suggest it. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RO9VJK/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20 MJ covers it in his book also but business is really a math formula. A x B = $X if B is hours in a day or your time (8 or 24, doesn't matter) you are severely constraining the...

    Is it time for a new CMS platform?

    Have you looked at Mezzanine? It's Python/Django so you have all the nice MVC architecture, django templates, caching, etc. It also has an eCommerce plugin called Cartridge. I'm using for a few sites and love it. It requires you know the python/django ecosystem as this point but that could be...
