    What kind of business?

    We have 2, in their 29th year.. and we didn't have any of those sweet sounding perks. ;)

    stuff

    I wanna cut a piece of pie and take the rest, not the other way around. Worked for the company last few years. Know the ins and outs pretty well. Not much more work than I'm already doing but many times the money

    Will it be easy? Not really. But it offers WAY more potential than current

    Best of luck then. We'll be waiting for your eventual return on at least 40s :stirthepot:

    I'd go whole hog, man. Those people are all handicapped and physically impaired, and your product makes them so fucking happy! :D


    Owning is great and satisfying, but for us has been a bit of a slog. When I was growing up we didn't have time to all that much as a family, no real vacations and the most we could go out of town for was 3 days, and my dad was/is still on call 24/7 for customer support, so it wasn't something I wanted for my kids.

    I've worked for people who have an entirely different experience as business owners, so hopefully you find yourself at least somewhere in between. I'm not technically an owner, but the flexibility of working for myself (largely) is the greatest thing, now that I have kids.

    In the market for a new gig, but the freedom is hard to leave.

    What are you trying to do? I write code in a different language for work. Most languages are all similar in the structure but might have a few things that are unique to it. I might be able to help.

    I've already exhausted all that stuff. I'm really good at taking example good. Adding a few things and making it work.

    But I'm dealing with graphics, optimizing memory, and refresh rates. All the example code is crazy complicated and doesn't really apply.

    What I have works good, I just need to make it all pretty.

    That's my approach to all this. Work until I get bored and can't figure it out, then leave it alone. I'll go back later and have things work and I'll get into it again. You might want to give it a try a again!

    I'm trying to add graphs that are fading colors and match the voltage outputs. I have something similar now but they need to be cleaned up.

    The other thing is I want to slow down the voltage reading without pausing the code so I get a stable readout to the tenths.

    My neighbor has a 2012 4cyl and is looking to replace his leveling kit spacer in the front with either some used Coilovers or some 5100s, does anyone have something like that taking up garage space?

    I would have to look at the site and code to see what would need to be done. Can you run the code on an emulator or something? Or do you have to have one of the devices?

    Going to want to get rid of that tool on the front cover. That mug would definitely would turn away potential customers and run your new investment into the ground...:D
