I think every month we should ask fellow readers about their problems like we ask who's hiring and who's looking for work. If this post gets any traction, I will do it every month. I am a bit late for October but anyway there we go.<p>Please be precise and clear :-)
My biggest problem is knowing whether an idea is worth spending time or even possible. Or just parts of it. There is no place to throw in questions like:<p>"I need this in my database but im pretty sure it won't scale, will it?<p>"I wrote this small gadget to solve a very specific problem that I use quite often, does anyone else have that problem?"<p>"I'm using library X, how would I subclass Y to allow path prefixes?"
I'd like to eat large amounts of chocolate without consequences ;) Seriously, someone who figures it out (and manages to not screw up the business side) will be the next Rockefeller.
I'm a freelancer, typically with several engagements at once (1 major, a few minor), and my biggest problem is figuring out how to take a vacation. I can take two days off, and I suppose I could take 2 months off, but how do I take 2 weeks off? I'm sure how to do it!
If I open up one excel workbook with a lot of links excel freezes for 30-45 seconds, sometimes more, and I just have to wait it out. If I could change between workbooks while it froze it wouldn't be so bad. My work laptop has an i5 and 16GB of RAM, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
