This dude is demoing ConnectWhatever and it's like if you type in the interest "Fishing" it suggests dozens of more specific interest that you can target. That's exactly what I've been trying to do, but so far I can't figure out any way to actually create an ad that uses that kind of detailed...

Those vintage style Casios look cool. I use my Casio for my alarm and it works great, except it's not very loud so I need it close to my bed for it to wake me up. I've gone through 3 gshocks and a bunch of other Casios, they are awesome, the only reason I don't keep them is I give them to...

I rock the moon watch @NicheMaker was talking about. I wouldn't waste money on anything in the $1-3k price range, but I might go for a handful of beaters in the $200-400 range, like the Seiko SKX or some Casios, maybe something like a Citizen Nighthawk. I have a nice Casio Edifice too, but I...

What's a good strategy for using an auto-responder to send general emails vs just using broadcast emails? My thinking is, if I put effort into writing some good emails for my current subscribers and they perform well, should I add the best emails to an auto-responder for new subscribers? And...

Just wanna say I followed this guide to day when I had to quickly setup a site and looking at the screenshots made everything a lot easier than having to actually think. So if this hasn't helped anyone else, at least I'm happy with myself ;)

Once the CDN distribution is deployed, it's time to actually hook up the URL and redirect the naked domain to the WWW subdomain. Inside Route53, create a new record set and choose your CloudFront distribution as an alias target: After this step, the site is now live at...

Had to do some travelling and had to focus on actual work for a little while, but I have a minute now to wrap up the first phase of development on this static site. Right now the site is available via S3 at: http://www.recruiterbros.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ But we need the site...

Dude, it's "Alex".

Home of the great Mikhail Tal! I live in Central America, a place that seems well-trafficked by Internet marketers. A few people I met in Skype groups have lived in my town before. If you're in Central America and you're not shady, hit me up. But for the record, I am a married, sober...

I say go with what you know, but if you're interested in expanding your knowledge a bit, I'd go with a couple lines of JavaScript, backed by AWS API Gateway and Lambda. Would be 1000x cheaper and less headache that running a webserver.

No @algospider, I haven't checked it out yet. Currently, I'm using niche-specific spinner-like software, where you can dump in a few word lists and then generate content. Rant gives you a more general solution for doing the same kind of thing, I am very interested in reading their code more...

Yea AWS has as huge number of services, each service has gone through multiple design iterations, so they have different features to accomplish similar, but sometimes subtlety different things, deprecated features, new features that don't actually work as advertised, and then all of the services...

Uploading your site to S3 You can upload files using the S3 web interface and you can also use the AWS command-line interface to easily sync directories on your machine with an S3 bucket, but even easier is to use a Lektor plugin that deploys your site to S3 for you. Here is the Lektor S3...

Okay! Time to get the site hosted on AWS. This will include: hosting files on S3, delivering files via CloudFront (CDN), getting an SSL cert from AWS, setting up basic redirects (naked to www, HTTP to HTTPS) with S3 and creating DNS records. The whole process is pretty simple, but there are...

If you can find a non-retarded podcast that gives you a digest of what's going on in the world, that might be a good start. There are a few I listen to where I more or less trust the hosts, and I get a feel for what's going on culturally, even though it's second-hand. It's a lot less stressful...

@BCN I think I understand what you're describing. Hopefully I'll get to some of the AWS stuff this weekend or in the next few days, then can dig into adding more advanced features to the site.

My initial goal for this site was to experiment with generating content. If anyone else is interested in that, I just found out about this project: https://github.com/TheBerkin/rant

Good luck man. I hope you find a solution. I want to stab my eyes out just thinking about this. Clients are the worst.

Review Around Thanksgiving I had an idea for a series of ebooks and completed the first version of the first book within a few days and put it on Amazon. I spent some time in December trying to improve the concept and execution, and when I finally checked my Amazon stats around Christmas, I saw...
