Have you considered having some lower levels on Patreon?

I liked the sound of your book so went over to your page, but $30 per month minimum isn't something I would want to pay. I suspect others will feel the same.

In MAIN.agc there is a list of bugger words. Not that I know assembly in any meaningful way, but I've never come across this term before.

On Googling, it seems to be something to do with a checksum value?

I literally shuddered when I read this.

Significant whitespace to me is one of the fundamental parts of Python that if messed with, makes it not Python.

Perhaps this will make it slightly easier for people coming from PHP, Javascript or one of the many languages that do use curly braces, but significant whitespace is a selling point, not a hinderance IMO.

My first thought on reading this was "wow, two clients a week!"

I've never got to grips with the client acquisition process, it's always been hit and miss and somewhat random for me.

Could someone point me in the direction of a good resource for getting consulting clients on a consistent and repeatable basis?

I remember when I was a kid, my dad used to line the edge of the bowl with cucumber so he could pile the salad a bit higher. But this is a whole new level.

I doubt that everyone in China was doing this. I imagine you'd be standing at the salad bar a long time making a master piece like that.

I had a screenshot on the front page before, but replaced it with the intro video. I should probably create a tour page, with screenshots of various parts of the app.

SSL is coming soon.

Thanks for the feedback.

I like the thought of a Forever Company. Often we start businesses to sell it, and then to start on something else.

In a way the forever company is you, 'Me Inc' as it were. Hopefully forever building and growing.

It says there are 13,000 licences for black and white TV's, so I wonder how many of those are just trying to get their licences cheap but actually own a colour TV.

I generally hate anything christmassy before December 1st, but after that point, it's fair game. That includes mince pies.

That's a feature I might add, location of consumption. Thanks.

I did consider that, but it would be far too easy to just put #mpt #eaten 10000. So I left it as 1 per tweet.
