WordPress, you use it, you love it, wouldn't it be nice if it would also buy your beers and some more? Over the recent months, a site that can make you big money has really found its audience, from a clever promising idea to an active community of users. I've already mentioned it when it started, and I mentioning it…
Interesting read of the day: How to estimate a programming job, when you have to quote for a client. I'm freelancing occasionally, depending on spare time and interest I have in the project I'm contacted for, and quoting is definitely the aspect that I dislike the most. I definitely will try to set a "quoting pattern" similar to the one…

I must say that this is a service I'm highly impatient for. Something that I would really appreciate would be my Adsense earnings going into some virtual wallet, where…
