I've been using the AppShopper website for the same purpose.

I really like Google’s products, but I think it’s strange that it took them multiple years. This is a signal for me, that the team behind it isn’t really strong within the organization. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s on the kill list a year from now.

You’re completely right, but with all that profanity, you’re not exactly reaching an audience :)

What I really like about the Roombas, is that they’re incredibly repairable. These things have a positively rabid fanbase, and through forums I’ve replaced some infrared LEDs in the bumpers of an old 500-series Roomba. It’s 8 years old and still keeps going.

Often you can spot the pattern by the finger smudge :)

If you’re a freelancer, then having lots of connections is quite helpful.

I was always fiddling with battery-related stuff. Carried two extra charged batteries with me, so I could replace it right away. Also tried a few power banks.

I like the Howler app as well, free with in-app purchases. This has a separate window per timer, not via the menubar.

Great tip. Now that we have a small child, we actually don’t go out for food but just for the undivided attention that a restaurant table brings. So simple food is just fine for us.

I though at one time that I was really through with not just my job but the work itself. I started freelancing and it turns out that this can give you a real nice boost in motivation. There's something satisfying in getting the bills paid with your own letter head.

Great reply. This was recently featured on Slashdot, where Linux system administrators were struggling with TRIM http://linux.slashdot.org/story/15/06/16…

It’s not that easy :) I really would like to live abroad for some time. My girlfriend under no circumstance wants to do so. So what do you do?

That price is bizarrely low for a Trackman Marble, especially considering the blasted things last ages. Even if wrist pains are unknown to you, you likely want to give this one a shot anyway, just to try it.

Concerning breastfeeding: if you don’t manage within an hour, don’t continue fussing. Just call a lactation consultant. In our case, she was there within an hour and could answer lots of questions.

I never understood that feature. Is it simply for typing in the dark? And is it really a prerequisite for you?

Good luck man. There’s really nothing else one can say that makes it any easier.

Anybody any tips for Safari?

You’re doing pretty good, coming straight out of a divorce. From experience, I know this can cost a LOT of money.

In principle I agree. However, I’ve had the situation where I told a person I’d build him an app for X amount of money. In that situation, you can’t just drop it because the other side can easily sue and point to the agreement that was made. So be careful what you promise.
