    make no mistake, all of my "success" was pure stubbornness and being at the right place at the right time. This didn't require a lot of genius, it just required someone being psychotic enough to put in 18+ hour days for weeks and weeks on end.

    Every so often I think "aw I should make more money doing something clever" and then good lord I see the actual process in action and it's just stunning.

    Willing to work 18+ hours for weeks on end? Stale, have you thought about the glorious life of a professional consultant?

    no, its like being a house in canada where weed addicts come in and leave their blunt needles lying everywhere, and blast soft rock into all hours of the morning, until someone calls the police. the cops unsaddle, make their way to the door and knock twice, give the weed addicts a hearty handshake and tell them they're making a fuss, please boys keep it down

    But then I will have to submit an article, and then someone else, and pretty soon it will be a cycle.

    Hey MD people, just wanted to pop in and let you know that a friend of mine linked me a "good article from a promising site" on FB.

    It was W's piece on Violent Young Men.

    So keep up the good work.

    My contribution is minimal

    I am like the weird scraggly runt in some famous rapper's posse, the one everyone forgets is there until they need to send someone to buy ice or something

    I fear I'll be the least informed podcast member this week, not having ME3 and all.

    So standard procedure @Melding, discuss Australia as much as possible.

    You should consider setting up a CDN if this traffic keeps up. It puts the heavy stuff like CSS, images, and javascript close to visitors.
