Maybe his first article should be about setting up a site with CodeIgniter...or not!

Comment My experience (Score 1) 480

I've worked from home now for about 8 months, it's gone very well, and has only taken a few adjustments. I have kids, but they're in school, and my wife also works part time from home, so with those two things it's gone well. One thing, have a separate place to work, my workspace downstairs has turned into my office, and I ordered an Ikea desk in order to make a standing desk out of it. I bring this up because standing to work has done wonders for my concentration and focus. Work provided me a 27" iMac, I use the built-in camera, VPN, IM, Skype, and lots of SSH, to stay dialed into the dev group fulltime. IM chat rooms help me get answers from a group, or direct IMs to work on specific issues. We do agile dev and also do a bit of pairing, where screensharing allows me to share my screen, or vice versa, to work one on one. It's really worked better than we expected, and it's been very enjoyable - I'm glad I'm getting the opportunity.

Comment Unreal (Score 1) 116

this is unreal that, but completely believable considering the lackadaisical ways things are going in Russia these days. I always love seeing sites of people wandering through abandoned places in the old Soviet Union, but this is an operational facility where their (recently, much maligned) space program runs from. Wow, wonder if they'll ever pull out of this rut they've been in.

Comment Chunkhost - it's FREE (Score 1) 375

This link will get you a free 512M VPS on Chunkhost for a month http://chunkhost.com/r/fak3r (sorry, US only) It matches your requirements, root with SSH is the only way to go. If you don't like it you can cancel it or let it run out; they'll never charge you unless you say you want to keep it after your month is up. I now pay 14$/month for the service, and it's been perfect for what I need. Give them a try, there's nothing to loose, and their service via twitter has been excellent.

Comment HOWTO DD-WRT on Netgear WNDR3700 (Score 1) 196

I've just posted HOWTO run DD-WRT on a Netgear WNDR3700 (http://fak3r.com/geek/howto-run-dd-wrt-on-a-netgear-wndr3700/) as I upgraded from the Linksys WRT54GL running the Tomato firmware. Step by step directions and more details than you need to run it yourself. (PRO-TIP: find a 'factory refurbished' WNDR3700 v1 - I got mine for 55$ on eBay). I couldn't be happier with this setup, and recommend it over any other router currently available.
