I have small bash script which keeps checking for Internet, if my machine does not have live working internet, it sends a notification with alert (text + sound) "You are offline, you may read some books :)" and then it launches iBooks so I can do some reading when offline.

PS. Also when Internet is back, it alerts again so I can resume online Work if I have to.

This post and comments bring back too many bad memories and horrible experience I had with Google Adsense banning my account, with automated responses. I better build my own product or services , I learnt years ago.

In this post they say, if a user clicks again and again... so don't ask your friend to-do so, what kind of bs is this, how they know if the user was our competitor or some ex friend doing to hurt.... they just go ahead and suspend...

I also want to keep useful stuff for offline consumption, I used to do pdf printing...Now I use pocket , a free service, with addon on chrome , one click add to pocket... and on Android free app... working great for last few months I have been using.

Sign up and checking out sample was also fine at my side. However it is when you try to select new Report/give data source ... then it says: Quote: "Data Studio is not available in your country. Would you like to be notified when the service is available?"

Didn't know this. Thanks a ton for this. Awesome I just enabled it.

Oh funny thing I found I was wrong about showdead setting there... I had assumed if I wanted myself to be declared dead/offline I could set my profile to show dead.. lol

Bill Gates is really impressive guy, great insights.

tldw: Public toilets didn't get used due to bad smell, we fix the smell issue, we get more adoption and it improves health conditions in the area regarding hygiene due to more people using toilets now.

I see I do not speak much when I am inside, in front of the screen. I suggest you getting out, and putting yourself in situations where you have to speak...

I know you are asking for technological tool for this, but looks like the problem you are trying to solve is created by technology , so maybe the solution is non tech and getting away from the technology.

One person paid ten dollars to buy the domain :-)

Paid user of Lastpass here. I am happy to see them open it for masses as it will help more users get on Password Manager instead of using same password everywhere.

Now will I stay paid user, yes, because I like and use following feature heavily, which is paid only :

ability to share folders with up to five users

This allows me to have all shareable logins at one place, and sharing with team or family member is so easy instead of sharing each site one by one, which is painful process for users on both sides.

Exactly I am in same situation. I work remotely, most of my work is to private repo on github.

I have set it up so that my private contributions are shown in my profile progress chart, no access to private data but activity looks good sign.

Good luck :-)

Great ebook thank you.

One thing I may suggest that allowing people to get ebook without signup as it is going to help this guide get into hands of many more people and will help Zapier in many ways, more prospective clients, employees, partnerships and goodwill in general.

I suggest in spare time contributing to open source. This will build a good profile for prospective employers from future. As working remotely you may not be visible much in scene, however if you have strong presence in open source space, you will stay visible and prove how much you get done being self motivated. And any future company , most remote employers love self motivated, accomplished team members. And your online open source contributions helps validate that.
