I am 42, been in the industry for the past 19 years. Right now, I am in job hunting as well. It does get depressing at times, I tried not to dwell on the misses, and keep on looking forward to the next interview.

If you can afford the money, do get the necessary certifications; PMP, Certified AWS Architect, etc. Else spend time to revise on the interview questions, there's a lot of resources on GitHub.

In between waiting for the next interview, I am trying to get back into shape, pick up a new hobby or skills, etc. Just to keep my mind back to those negative thoughts.

If you need someone to talk to, drop me an email.

Do make a version for video as well! I will pay for one!

Lenovo... works really well. Ubuntu + Lenovo can last many years.

http://wishpond.com/ - buy traffic, start build your list. write blog posts, repeat.

I like the write about what happened & open source the codes! Customers I guess will seek out other alternatives solutions.

I really dun think he should be tracking ad impressions, instead of focusing on the conversions of its ads.

Setup VPS & Prosper202 ( http://prosper.tracking202.com/apps/ ) else just pay a bit more the hosted version at Tracking202.

- start a blog -> blog about your experience, hits & misses while working on your 2 projects. - share your codes via github. lookout at the monthly hiring thread for job offers.

most importantly look around you to find issues/problems that people are willingly to pay a tiny $5-$20 to get it solve. build mvp, reiterate...

i dun see any GS or JP exec doing such things... could it be that lenovo is being mgmt by a china inc now.. some of the replies & cynics here is just ridiculous!

If Zapier is able to keep the no. of spammers under control, the service is going to be great! Keep on rolling out more services to connect the various applications. Limitless..

Rather if the startup has a viable product or service, it should be making money selling it to people who has a need for this product.

- I guess this is only applicable at early stage of the startup. Scaling a startup is very different.

10 domains @ namecheap.com - Looking to trim it down further. Anyone want housinspired.com / pursuitofhousing.com / apartmentsredesign.com >> Let me know.

Anyone has a js implementation of the multi-armed bandit algorithm?

FACEBOOK ADS DOES WORK!

It does take a bit of work to fine tune each campaign & ads.

- test your images. drop those with ctr less than .06%

- test your age groups. look at your customers and decide the groupings.

- use precise interest. think your competitors, brand names, etc.

With $40 per day, if you split test properly, you should be able to find the audience at CPM $0.20, other than PPV, there's not a lot traffic sources than can give you such precise targeting.

PROOF: http://imgur.com/0dFFE - I'm still working on the CTR to .1% ... beside Conversion & Brand is what matter, NOT likes.

To name a few... know of one, please help add.. Thanks.

Hardware are getting cheaper & faster. The same is with Storage. Virtualization Tools & OS are mostly free. Worst if I compare the US VPS prices against those in Europe. E.g HostEurope or Leaseweb.

VPS just dun make any sense.

O... never know that this could work too!

The same in Australia, Malaysia & Singapore.

The best blogging platform is the one you actually use.

Pick any of the free platform WP, posterous, tumblr, etc. Most of these tools are inter-portable. It really does not matter, the one thing that really matter is the blogging platform that you actually use.

http://www.tickspot.com/ is also pretty good. Paid version sync to Basecamp.
