    It's been 10 years already. Here's where I am now.

    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...

    Who warns the admins on this site?

    Not everyone is from the USA. Something bad happens every day "somewhere" around the world. A lot of people (myself included) have no idea what happened yesterday.

    What do you do for a living?

    I do web design full time from home. That 9 - 5 office life just isn't for me.

    The Tragedy of Terry Davis

    It's tragic for sure. I'll be honest, I found some of Terry's commentary hilarious, but not in a "lol what an ignorant racist" kind of way. It's terrible it had to end the way it did.

    The Tragedy of Terry Davis

    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...

    How do you assess whether you are improving?

    I'm no writer, not professionally at least. But I do know English. I also know a fair amount about working for yourself, having done it for a good few years now. Personally, I'd suggest ditching your "implement ALL the advice" strategy. People tend to have their own opinions on the "correct"...

    Today I learned: Apparently it's better NOT to be a dick

    Lol, must be nice. It's the price I have to pay for living in South Africa I suppose. Yeah that was my struggle. There was always the chance I'd use up my data for the month and have to spend the rest of it working from a coffee shop with free wifi. :D I do have Netflix and Spotify and all...

    Today I learned: Apparently it's better NOT to be a dick

    I might take a page out of your book from now on. I always assumed it was just standard ISP practice to throttle torrent users over here.

    Today I learned: Apparently it's better NOT to be a dick

    See my location? Yeah we're not known for our speedy, up to date internet here in South Africa. Your post count doesn't increase in the lounge.

    Today I learned: Apparently it's better NOT to be a dick

    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...

    What YouTube Channels Do You Subscribe To?

    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.

    Natural selection, a business perspective?

    Definitely agree. I dated a girl last year who quit her job at one point and decided to freelance like me. I did my best to give her pointers and get her started, but she just didn't enjoy it. She wanted the stability of a regular job, and wasn't prepared for the risk that comes with being your...

    How often you drink alchohol ?

    I have my seasons. Sometimes it'll be once a week, sometimes I'll be sober for months.

    I need to vent about a member here

    Proxygo always talks about his dog and never uses punctuation correctly.

    Need an African site where I can deposit money and withdraw it using PayPal/Skrill etc.

    Lol I struggled doing something similar to this. Basically, FNB is the only South African bank that supports transfers to and from Paypal. You could try opening an FNB account yourself online, but I can't guarantee it'll work for a non SA resident.

    How are things going for you lately?

    Good to see you around too t0mmy. Good luck for the sale! That's fantastic news. I'm keen to hear how it goes. For sure. That's the sign of a good businessman I guess, being able to go with the flow when necessary. Nice job making it work for yourself! Good luck! What sort of business did...
