Ask HN: Workflow for managing client resources

My freelancing business is taking off and I have a reasonable amount of hours and client work available to me (mostly hourly, but I'm more comfortable in this "maintenance and management" type of work)I'm using KeePass to manage my client logins. I'm using Harvest to manage project details, timesheets, invoicing, and client details. I'm beginning to add more and more clients that will rely on...

Perhaps instead of "how to correctly do what I did wrong", you should do "how to fix what I just did wrong". Knowing how to properly pull files is worthless when the entire setup is borked without the user knowing what they did wrong.

You should know that Yik Yak is an amalgamation of whatever the users say around you... If it's filled with hate speech, that would be your surrounding environments fault and not Yik Yak.

This is very interesting because I think a lot of people think wisdom and personal self growth can only happen through human experiences, but just him sitting there thinking about it helped him grow as a person. It's amazing what the human mind can still do without the resources of a body.

Really cool. I wish the team behind this would publish an article on the making of. I'd love to know how they built this. Especially for legality and such? I doubt government would go "yeah sure, replace the safety signs designed to keep people safe with your project". Does anyone have any ideas on how they did this?
Re:How to Ship an F1 Car Across the Globe in 36 Hours on Saturday November 22, 2014 @05:47PM (#8646942)
I've heard some people complain that F1 and similar sports are a waste of money, but something to keep in mind about these events is their engineering all trickle down into modern day cars. Through the rules enacted, engineers must develop new ways to create fast, powerful cars. The new techniques and inventions all trickle down into the average consumer vehicles. I think it's wonderful that our sports are defining our future.

Do you think Minecraft and DayZ will last as long and become as successful as something like Tetris or Dance Dance Revolution?
Re:Chinese hack U.S. Weather systems, satellite network on Thursday November 13, 2014 @04:12AM (#8600604)
Do we know what kind of data was accessed in these attacks? I wonder what kind of weather data can be so important to be kept secret that they must disrupt the service and seal off everything. Were they storing other data on these servers?

High Maintenance is absolutely hilarious. I implore you guys give it a shot.
Re:A pre-K teacher on the trouble with lockdown drills on Friday November 07, 2014 @03:06AM (#8571609)
Where does your daughter attend schooling? I live on the West Coast and I've had "lockdown" drills all my life. They aren't specifically for the situation of "a psycho killer is in the hallways" - they are usually enacted when a threat appears nearby the school. A loose dog wandering the campus, nearby robbery of a store, etc. The point of these exercises is not to increase a child's likelihood of survival in various dangerous situations, but instead to ensure that if a threat were to appear the staff will be able to handle it appropriately and keep the kids in a calm, docile state.
Re:I’m Terrified of My New TV on Thursday October 30, 2014 @11:37PM (#8537184)
Something I've noticed about this however is most tech-literate people who actually care about their privacy tend to leave the wireless disconnected and simply attach the TV to their HTPC device which is from there connected to the internet.

Disconnecting it from the internet and possibly even sabotaging the wifi module will ensure that prying eyes will not have access to your information.
