Love seeing more vanilla projects and tooling around standards. Long live the web.

Edit: I’ve been thinking about offering an overlay UI for a web based game and this could be a good fit for that. I’ll give it a spin later and let y’all know.

I loved this. Thank you for sharing! I’m betting others will get to those levels as well ;)

P.S. Love seeing that you made the site with WordPress! It’s gorgeous!

I was on a Zoom call a few minutes ago and my machine was struggling with responsiveness, which I haven’t seen happen - and there’s been a lot of Zoom usage this year. I assumed it was Zoom related but this makes more sense.

Hey y'all! I've been working from home for 10 years now and I can't imagine trading it back for office life. Today I work at Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, Tumblr, and WooCommerce and being a fully distributed company we can live wherever we'd like.

My wife and I with our two kids have been calling North Idaho home for the past 9 years. We love it here and I'd love to see more of y'all moving out this way!

I started a side project (https://NorthIdaho.io) to help more folks move to the area. I'm starting out by curating a weekly list of rental properties. It's free, with no catch. I'm also offering a premium version for those in a hurry and looking for a bit of extra help.

I'd love to know what y'all think and also happy to answer any questions you have about North Idaho living.

Stripe now paying out funds in 2 days rather than 7

Got the following email from Stripe a few minutes ago:---We're excited to let you know that we've sped up how quickly you'll receive your money with Stripe.It used to be the case that there was a seven day delay between when you charged a customer and when funds arrived in your bank account. We've reduced that delay so that any future payments you receive will be transferred to you in two days...

Re:Ask HN: Where would you send your mother to register a domain name? on Sunday July 22, 2012 @05:50PM (#4278613)

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely keep it in mind. The upsells are a bit troubling to me, though. Mom doesn't need SSL and certainly no website creation tools or hosting (WordPress all the way). I'd like to recommend a registrar that really just focuses on domains.

Ask HN: Where would you send your mother to register a domain name?

While many of us, I imagine, would just do it for her, what if she wanted to register a domain herself? Where would you tell her to go?

Re:Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (July 2012) on Sunday July 01, 2012 @03:18PM (#4185811)

SEEKING WORK, REMOTE (Pacific Time)

I've been building businesses since I was 13. At 26, with 10 years of web development experience, and 7+ years working with WordPress, I'm looking for extra work on Sundays to pay off a few debts and save for our second baby (they're expensive).

During the week, I work at a startup building paywalls for the newspaper industry (pigeonpaywall.com).

When it comes to working with WordPress, I can do just about anything. On top of my technical skillsets and experience, my specialty is communication and training. I am highly responsible and efficient.

I'm a match for:

- Someone looking to turn over responsibility for getting a website done (even down to copyediting and content orgnanization).

- Someone looking for a competent developer to take a design over to WordPress.

I'm not a match for:

- Someone looking for a low bidder - I'm not desperate for work, just looking for new opportunities and ways to accelerate cashflow.

- Someone who feels a need to micromanage - As a first-born recovering-perfectionist, I am highly detail oriented.

Interested? See my email in profile. Write or send me your number and I'll give you a call.
