    Getting to talk to decision makers

    I'd say Jack Edwards advice here https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/general-business-discussion/35149-how-do-i-reach-top-head-honcho.html#post183148 is about the best advice you'll get.

    PROGRESS THREAD (James F) Startup #2

    EXECUTION 
    Certainly, there are some things you can just reuse fairly easily. Hm.. Perhaps slightly complicated wasn't the best way to phrase it, but anything that can be thrown together in a 'few days' is below the threshold of slightly complicated. There are exceptions, there always are, but it's a...

    programmers...need help, users uploading pictures to my site

    Sure you can easily do something that'd increment the name if a file with the name already exists. Does SEO, actually care much about image names too? I'm a programmer, and know very like about SEO, so I thought I'd throw this in here. :P Edit: I ask, because trying to preserve names, and...

    programmers...need help, users uploading pictures to my site

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Didn't read through the whole article, but this may be a good place to start: http://oswaldatwork.thetaoofamp.com/2009/10/scaling-images-in-php-done-right/ It's just a matter of scaling the image, which I've never had to explicitly do myself, but it cannot be that bad. Just describe it as...

    Learning Ruby on Rails: Anyone want to learn with me?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    RoR is a framework, so it's intent is to take out a lot of the leg work. Just like PHP has frameworks of it's own. I wouldn't discount things based on what they do if it won't make your job harder\impossible. No understanding what is going on behind the scenes is gonig to happen regardless...

    Constructive criticism for my website please!

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hmm, on my end I still have a huge with for it. Generally 960 width is about as far as you should push it, and with 1440x900 res, I STILL have to scroll, it's probably around 1500 width at the moment for me...

    If you have the information in a database, and you can make a decision based on the information, why aren't you implementing that logic to let the computer do that tedious, repetitive work. That's what computers are meant for!

    Getting kicked out of the house.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't think this is a place to be supportive. It is not always good thing to mindlessly encourage a certain behavior. Constantly supporting decisions should not be what this place is about. This place is about people striving to be their best, and the 'nice' thing to say isn't always the...

    In my experience it unfortunately provides pretty poor quality result. I really tried to get used to it, but I always found myself having to append '!g' (to search google instead) to get what I needed...

    The most likely case would just be someone else deleting the cookies\history - does anyone else use the computer too?

    What Code to Use

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    No one has asked, because it truly isn't an important question yet. If they don't know what language, then a platform is even less worry some. It's not like someone chooses that they want to work on a *nix platform, and then chooses a language.

    What Code to Use

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    All of them can do what you want. I'd probably pick RoR simply because it will force you a bit more to understand MVC (model\view\control) which languages like PHP you'll generally need to start with a framework. That said, in all honesty the language really doesn't matter at all. You could...

    Website Speed

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    23 second load time? I have a very big hunch if you clear your cache it will be 23 seconds again. It sounds like there are huge images\script\whatever that get cached after the first load rather than execution time for WP. Granted, idk how Google would treat it, but if it takes 23 seconds to...

    Bright Outlook for Online Workers

    Which is a huge problem with jobs. Give people 2-3 hours of work, and they have to make it take up 8 hours. Time != money.

    Hm.. I technically ended it, but how about while reading through those 3 chapters, write out a list of what really "resonates" with you. Post it here, so people can get a quick overview of how the first 3 chapters may resonate with them, and I'll gift it to ya. Deal?
