I prefer android phones. Am in the oddball here? I had a client ask me if I owned an iPhone. I said I don't, all I have are Androids. He is shipping me an iPhone so I can test our app on it.

Hmm.

I put a ton of effort into a site that started out as a volunteer effort and turned into a paying job. This is my lowest paying client but has the most arrogant people. Let's see we have graduates from elite universities, super smart, 'rich' business people or they were just plain athletic. But i have found a lot of them are arrogant, selfish jerks to me. I put in a lot of thought and time into what i do for them (my lowest paying client) and they treat me sooo poorly without apology. It makes me sad.

The girl in me loves Pinterest;
The programmer in me luvs devRant;

I visit devrant to be more clever in life. Sad. I know. And I know 99.9 percent of the people I know won't care.

Sifting through data soothes my brain. I decided to audit my own phone records and I am like what the hell, who have I been talking to?!??

6 min 38 sec Skype Meeting that could have been covered in an email..WHY?!?!

When the cat steps on the power strip button in the middle of your Skype call...yeah thanks cat.

When you meet up with the boss and accidentally commit to a difficult project...(face palm)..oh well the wine was good!

Need advice. I run all my development on a desktop that I have been happy with for years. Now it keep crashing (probably due to forti client which I need for a contract).

I am frozen in looking for a replacement. Will a laptop give me the freedom I want but not enough power and USB options? Will I be wasting 1000k buying one?

I do all sorts of dev: visual studio, eclipse, PHP, c#, Apache, IIS, SQL server, MySQL.

I pretty much have to be prepared for anything.

But I keep thinking a laptop will give me this mobility that I may never use.

I probably should stick with a desktop.

Dear God, please grant me patience when my clients are lawyers and English teachers. Remind me that computers are okay with spelling errors but these people are not.
