Also I recently set up a shop: https://www.terranovabakery.com/shop (I built and maintain this site)

I may have to answer this question via a video. Can you tell me what the goal is for having a website? Will it be to showcase sample work? Showcase equipment? Is finding you above local competition in search important?

Also the short answer about having one or not and relying on social media is: ALWAYS have a website, even if for now it’s one very comprehensive page. You need a URL, a home-base and I will explain why in the video. I appreciate the topic idea. If you want to tell me more about your business I’ll give you my professional opinion and set you in the right direction.

What I do is look for a Google font equivalent: https://fonts.google.com Usually there is one that is spot on or at least “good enough” and then as far as I know you can use them unlimited, anywhere. I have like 1000+ .TTF files from the Google font repository.

Google Fonts make it quicker and easier for everyone to use web fonts, including professional designers and developers. All of the fonts are Open Source, which mean you can use them in every way you want, privately or commercially – in print, on your computer, or in your websites

All free!

This reminds me of the scene from Guardians of the Galaxy 2 where the fleet of drones / fighters were all remote – same with the last scene in Black Panther. It’s so crazy that video game skills are military skills now and that fighters don’t have to be in the thing they are fighting with. VR is a weapon, VR is a crazy thing man

Yeah, but it’s also surgery, recreation, therapy, exploration, data visualisation…I know an astronomer who used an Oculus Rift to virtually explore the surface of a comet. Imagine how valuable that experience was to him. Technology will often blow both ways; do away with all nuclear materials, and you also lose nuclear power. If we got rid of all poisons we wouldn’t be able to perform chemotherapy, its the same old story. Me, I’m most interested in VR for its potential to change or expand our idea of what reality even is. Even the tech that we’re using right now has already transformed concepts that we used to think were pretty well-established. In the old days, you *discussed* things with people who could actually hear you, you *befriended* people whom you’d actually met and had reason to trust, and – absurdly to our eyes – you could only join a *community* by travelling to where it was physically based. If what used to be rock-solid ideas like those ones can be transformed by the kind of basic tech we’re now using, where will VR take us?[/quote]

fuck that sounds way more sophisticated than my VR interests – I’m personally only interested in giant hooters bouncing an inch from my face ahhah

I’m Ed and I do cool stuff with linux. So what do I do ? [Shameless plug] Design and build secure web infrastructure *nix (rackspace/aws/google/ms/softlayer/ibm/etc) from small to large businesses. Devops when the developers need it and firewall maven when the network engineers need a route. I also sell shared and dedicated hosting with and without support options.

Howdy, welcome! Do you have a website? If you ever want to post some of your expertise I’d be happy to feature it.

Thanks Michael, Its incredibly difficult to talk about what I do outside of my hosting platform as I swim in a literal sea of NDA’s. https://www.mtact.com is my website and while I don’t have automatic signups we generally provision within 2 hours. Apache, Its a load of fun Start with LFS and it just gets better endecker, I’ll help where I can.[/quote]

I totally understand. I’d love to know more about the development support you do. I am forever in WordPress and forever needing to get things done that WordPress doesn’t do by default. Do you work in WP/PHP/MySQL specifically?

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/4MUJd75N4Jw I will look for the fix, it’s a known issue with Chrome and forums.

I made the time limit 200,000 minutes from post date. Not sure exactly how long that is but it’s long enough!
