The Musing Mill

Standing on the beach the other day, I told Susan that this summer was worth every penny. I think the picture says it all. While I have not had the summer off, I have had significant control over WHEN I do my work versus spending time with the kids and Susan. So, this advice is for whoever might read this someday.

ADVICE: If you ever get the chance to take significant time off to be with your kids when they are little - DO IT! It’s worth whatever savings or income you will give up. There’s more to life than money - it’s an instrument not an end. Family is more important.

This is a great overview of all the things that have to be considered when building a company with a Web-hosted application as it’s main interface to the customer.

The guys at Delicious have done a great job and these are their notes.

Sorry to those who came to look here over the last few weeks. I had too many issues with the domain redirection and I finally moved the Musing Mill from its Mac-based home to a hosted server. It was actually dead easy and I’m surprised I didn’t try it until now! (Many thanks to Matt Mullenweg for good planning!) I did a SQL backup of the database on the Mac, created the same DB on Dreamhost, imported the SQL to the Dreamhost DB and then did their 1-click Wordpress install. Worked like a charm!

I’ll be back-dating some of the missing posts.
