Do you charge by the hour?
By the yard, it's easier that way.
The company that I work for have an offsite learning allowance which allows us to essentially get paid to learn something.
I've been taking a Udemy course on NodeJS and I have learned a ton. I'm excited to have this new skill in my pocket.
Congrulations
Skills go stale if they aren't used. I've written programs using JQuery and Cordova, but I only barely remember how.
So you postulate that skills are more like cakes than like biscuits?Quote:

This post does not appear, and you are not reading it.
Biscuits ("cookies" in American) go soft instead of stale. There is no pastry involved with biscuits or cakes in the civilised world, as you well know.Quote:

Putting cakes and biscuits in the same container is therefore prohibited by international convention for what I hope you will consider to be very obvious safety reasons.
This was the definition McVities used to avoid VAT on Jaffa cakes. There was actually a court case about it that has established the definition of a cake vs a biscuit in British law.
Personally, I think it's a huge miscarriage of justice. The definition of a biscuit should be that it's cooked twice, which is literally what "biscuit" means.
But the law is, of course, an ass. Which way too long a post for post race, should sufficiently set up Shaggy to say something about ass-biscuits.
Of course it went to court over how a tax would be applied.
Hurricane season is over. Thank the Lord.
HA! I don't live in the civilized world. I live in Idaho, and in a desert, at that. Everything loses moisture out here, even dust.Quote:

It tells me Invalid attachment.
The forum software is probably having trouble figuring out what kind of attachment it is.
It's a bun, isn't it? They get invalid if you sit on them for too long.Quote:

Posting it from the advanced reply works, but not from the quick reply.
Yet another oddity for the quick reply. Haven't we found a few of those, by now?
I thought the slowdown in posting had been solved. Seems to have gotten better, at least, over the last few days, but not so much today.
There's already a thread about it over in Forum Feedback.
Yeah, the slowdown today has been rough.
I was hoping it had been found and fixed, but it seems like it might be more an intermittent thing.
Strange, I didn't have any slowdown problem today.
That is the best explanation for conspiracy theories that I have ever seen. I totally swiped that image to use elsewhere.

Racing to your rice krispies?
Theyyyy're GREAAAAT!
Wrong mascot....though kind of right for a cat.
I just realized that your earlier post was referencing Race Krispies, not Rice Kripies.
Just described my getting out of bed in the morning effects.Quote:

Pollution ? or something else ? the storm will clean the air but you will have more humidity which is not good for sinus.
I live in a desert. We don't HAVE humidity.
When I lived in the Florida Keys, if you didn't close up a bag of potato chips promptly after opening, you'd be able to fold the chips in an hour or two. In Idaho, it's kind of the opposite. You have to seal bread away in a bag, or it will dry out inside of a day.
Sex, drugs, now humidity.
All good for you in moderation.
I thought you'd said humility for a moment there. Sex, drugs and humility... that's not very rock and roll.
But then I got to thinking about it.
Humility is the MOST rock 'n roll thing. :o
Humid humility, hunh?
There is an important message in this post.

on the first line or the second ?
second (just hit reply with quote and you'll see it)
Merry Christmas to you too!!! xd
Well done. I didn't know that would work.Quote:

Radical.
You had soda machines in school? We only had a black market for candy bars. You had to go to just the right room at just the right time, and pay in cash.
that's nice. Thank you. Happy holidays to you too! Joyeux noël !Quote:

Well, OK, maybe it's not the Russians.
That's a dilemma. Don't go Russian into it...
