Sort of... I had the post open in two tabs, one tab with the original title, one with the title I posted here. A few seconds after posting I noticed a sentence I didn't like, tweaked it in the wrong window, hit save, saw the title change, switched it back. You must have hit in that few second time frame.

Still not quite sure why you got this. Couldn't replicate. I'll be checking error logs, etc to ensure whatever it was doesn't happen again. Only receive 3 404's for something like 2k visitors yesterday.

It's essentially a program that trains attorneys on how to run their businesses. My partner is really the face of it and the person that designed the curriculum, but I put together all the tech, members area, sales pages, etc.

My advice, set a hard deadline and announce to your clients and partners that could potentially send sales that you'll have it in their hands on that date. No excuses.

Wow, first time I've ever submitted anything as well. I'm insanely happy but this wasn't an attempt at promoting it. I'm trying very hard to keep my blog and my business interests separate.

My initial thought was that it would be thrown out due to the corporation technically being wherever its registered address was. Then I started thinking about the Nexus laws that states used to attempt to tax Amazon based on its use of affiliates and the idea of the corporations location became a little more fuzzy...

Life: Quitting an MMORPG when I was 13(nearly 13 years ago) and deciding never to play one again. I can't imagine how I would have ended up if I hadn't.

Programming: Finally deciding to just dive into a project rather than continually reading books. I'm not a very good programmer by any means though so take that as you will.

Honestly Gmail's new features never cease to amaze me. Their new compose box is a good example. Initially it was terrible for me as I frequently send from other email addresses but within a week they had removed a click or two and now it's perfect.

For me it's less about the distractions and more about not having people to pull me out of the rabbit holes I fall down. At the office I have constant reminders that I shouldn't be spiraling down into wikipedia hell while at home I don't.

So my solution was to download a chime app that sets off a bell every hour on the hour. Now every time I hear that I find I automatically turn productive again.

I'm in the same boat. Anytime life presents a problem that I can't seem to wrap my head around I get up from my desk, take a short walk, and it usually comes to me.

As an added bonus I've discovered that there's a small lake less than a mile from my office that I never knew existed(part of a planned housing community) and I've seen all kinds of things I wouldn't have otherwise.
