Long time guys! I joined BHW 10 years ago (As of yesterday), on the 7th of November 2012. So, I thought I'd take a bit of a nostalgia trip and reflect on my journey since then. I was a fresh faced, 20 year old back then. I'd just moved back in with my parents, after moving out for a whole 6...

I've found I have a knack for finding the weirdest stuff on the internet during my downtime in the evenings (Tentacle porn excluded). Today I was curious about what other OS's existed outside of the big 3 (Windows, Linux and Mac). I happened to stumble upon one "TempleOS". The initial...

So I use torrents to "acquire" necessary things every now and then. And up until recently, I was forced to use a capped network connection, which meant I only had limited data to use on my torrents. I decided to make the most of this by reducing my upload speed to the bare minimum while...

As per the title. Who's worth watching? I'm particularly looking for some channels with good business/entrepreneur related content, but feel free to suggest anything worth watching.

So I realise it's been a while since I've posted anything, this is mostly because I've been preoccupied with various projects that take up most of my day. It also means I've unfortunately managed to miss some of the journeys and success stories of newer members over the past few months. I'm...

Some motivation for you guys who don't know what to sell: Whether enveloped by the thick smog from factories or choked with invisible poisons from vehicle exhausts, many cities around the world are losing the battle against air pollution. Somewhere between 5.5 million and seven million people...

I've learnt a couple of pretty basic but useful things when it comes to Wordpress logins over the years. The sad truth is that due to the popularity of Wordpress, hackers have learnt a few things over the years too. Lucky for us, it's quite quick and simple to get back into a Wordpress site...

I could end the thread right there, but I should probably elaborate a little. There's one thing I can't stand when it comes to online work, and that's cheap competition. Competitors so desperate for money that they'll undercut you down to the bare minimum in an attempt to get the sale. Here's...

So I'm aware there are a couple of threads on this topic already, and a few of them contain some great information too. However, there are a few tricks I've picked up over the years I thought I'd share. So, first things first: Why bother speeding up my site? Well, aside from the fact that no...

I put together a thread a while ago about generating lead sources and automatically monitoring them. While I have tweaked and improved the method over time, the concept remains the same. However, I never really touched on things like which facebook groups one might find good leads in. So, I...

Interviewer: So, you're a carpenter, are you? Carpenter: That's right, that's what I do. Interviewer: How long have you been doing it? Carpenter: Ten years. Interviewer: Great, that's good. Now, I have a few technical questions to ask you to see if you're a fit for our team. OK? Carpenter...

14 August 2017 I often find myself spontaneously planning big things for my life, getting excited for half an hour and then simply resuming the daily grind, never to give those "big plans" a second thought. When I say "big plans", I'm not referring to something ridiculous, like "Buy a Ferrari...

I never realised how big a step it actually is to quit one's job and decide to work for yourself. I was fortunate enough to still be living with my parents when I started doing IM (Not a phrase often heard), so I had less bills to pay and a little more time to get my feet off the ground. It's a...

For anyone interested, as if it needed reiterating: Yes, it is possible and actually quite easy to make a good living online. The trick is persistence and the ability to figure things out on your own. The reason for my break is because I've been having quite a good year, business wise, and so...

I'm hoping to get a good discussion going here. I'm not necessarily looking for replies along the lines of "I wake up at 9am and then I have breakfast". I'm interested to know what sort of "life hacks" you employ in your daily business activities. How do you achieve optimum levels of...

Hi guys, So I'm having a bit of trouble with a Python script. Basically, I'd like to modify this script: https://github.com/tanrax/guetzli-recursively/blob/master/guetzli-recursively.py to include the following flag when it runs the gueztli script: --quality 90 For some reason, I just can't...

This is just a quick one, but something I learnt after much trial and error. Hopefully it'll save some people a bit of hassle. When speeding up a website, I've found that one of the top "slowness" factors are images that have not been compressed for the web. They contain unnecessary EXIF tags...

I'm curious to get the opinion of other web developers about something that's been bugging me lately: The age old Wordpress vs custom coded/static website debate. Personally, I'm pro Wordpress (That is to say, I approve of it. Not "I am a professional".). But I've noticed there are also some...

Heard about this site on the radio. I'm undecided on whether I find this fascinating or really depressing, but it's basically a list that some "experts" have put together of which celebrities they expect to die during the year. They got 12/50 correct for 2016. https://deathlist.net/

Something that made me laugh today. I love these kinds of stories. http://extratorrent.cc/article/5396/copyright+trolls+arrested+and+charged+with+extortion.html
