Its not really a knock against jQuery. Its more about how if I'm writing jQuery on a daily basis, I should have a better understanding of the underlying language. Also, jQuery is great in many situations, but its not the tool for every job.
Send me some photos to give me an idea of what you're talking about. brent at wouldworks dot com
No doubt. But if I can make a decent product with shitty tools, then I can make an even better product with mediocre tools. If I start turning a real profit, then I'll invest in real quality equipment.
Essentially that's what I'm doing. If people make a donation, then I send them a product. I could continue to build them with my existing crappy tools, but with more appropriate tools I can be more efficient and maintain a more consistent, quality end product. It'd be different if I were asking for donations and promising nothing in return. In the end I think it all works out the same.
Just out of curiosity, what's you non-software online business?
Thanks for the compliment!
At this point, I'm mostly interested in smaller items since they're easier to ship to people. Initially I'm just planning to steadily increase the quality and detail of what I build.
Not yet, but only because I don't yet have the necessary tools to finish it. But if the donations keep coming in like they have been, then I'll have what I need very soon! I'll post some pics as soon as its done. You can count on that.
I thought about looking into something like that, but I have two young children and it can be a bit of a challenge to get out of the house sometimes. Being able to just step into my garage makes it much easier.
Well, to be honest its not really investing since you'll get a product in return, but yeah I see what you're saying.
For right now its just me doing the design and fabrication. I'd like to keep it that way as long as possible. I think the fact that they're not mass produced is what people really like about it.
If it does somehow get to be more than I can handle, then I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. ;)
Exactly.
Yeah, that works for some of them, but many of the aliases I use are only for the command itself, but I still have to supply args/parameters. For example, instead of "git push origin master" I use "gpo master" or even just "gpom".
File a police report, then file a claim with your insurance company. Pony up the deductible, and buy yourself a new laptop and restore it from your time machine backup. Its likely not worth the trouble to pursue getting the stolen property back.
This of course assumes that you have decent home owner's or renter's insurance, which should cover theft ever from your car. If you don't, then you should...
If someone's already mentioned this, I apologize. I didn't read through all of the comments.
