First off, if you have daily expenses like rent, food, etc. then you'll need a dayjob. You can choose to return to the SAP ABAP programmer jobs so you can pay your bills, and then work in your free time on your projects. Or, get a day job that complements your projects. Either way you're back into a day job for now. This is how a lot of entrepreneurs seem to do it.

Bottom line is that everything comes down to hustle and execution. Everything you "choose" to do in your free time should move your projects forward somehow.

If you need motivation, you could read a few books that inspire entrepreneurs, like Gary Vaynerchuk's 'Crush It' or Hugh Mcleod's 'Ignore Everybody'.

The thing to remind yourself of is that you are actually at a huge advantage compared to many. You've started and failed. Most people never even try. Use the knowledge you gained from failing to try again.
Just apply and see, they review each application on a case-by-case basis anyway. Although phrasing your application so it sound less launch-ed (but you should be open about what you have done) will probably act in your favour.

i'd say, i'd feel unsafe there even if such a story didn't happen to me... or, while there are houses of thin wood, maybe you are allowed to wear/keep a gun?
good luck!

perhaps you should consider hiring someone to do the polishing and non-programming stuff.

Here's a quote from a friend of mine that supports himself selling VST plugins:

One of my softs stops working on certain days when cracked. On these days I have record sales. If I normally sell, say, an average of 3 copies a day, I will sell maybe 15 copies on those days where the crack stops to work. That's more than a 10% increase in sales. The effort put into that scheme was 2 days, which is less than 1% of the overall development work.
Looked interesting until I saw this in part of a description:

"The focus is on combating resistance and living the destiny that Pressfield believes is gifted to each person by an all-powerful deity."

Better Understanding Link-based Spam Analysis Techniques
Hey guys, I'm just about to finish up my term with Videojuicer (after several years!), and they're looking to hire someone to replace (and extend) my skill set.

The tl;dr is that they're looking for someone who fits these qualities:

* Lives in London or Brighton (UK), and is happy working remotely

* Cares about software craftsmanship (test first TDD, agile development & some pairing)

* Cares about open standards and open source software

* Solid dev skills in actionscript3 (bonus points for exp w/ video)

* Solid dev skills on the JVM (bonus points for Scala)

* Happy building in at least one modern interpreted language (Ruby, Python, Javascript)

------------------------------------------

The full deal is that Videojuicer is a London based technology and media company.

We've got a close knit team of devs and all around good guys who have built a unique video experience platform. We've got a commitment to open web standards, and have even gone to the extent of making our (unfortunately flash-based) video player programmable using Javascript and styleable with CSS3.

Much of our player is open sourced and you can find it on our github page (see: https://github.com/videojuicer/smilkit-as3 and https://github.com/videojuicer/stylekit-as3 in particular).

The cool part about our full stack video serving platform is that we've focused on minimalist ReSTful component design, which has given us the flexibility and power to be able to experiment and build new visual experiences.

Our video player in particular is a cool piece of tech and in conjunction w/ our platform lets users build custom interactive experiences w/in the player (again w/ JS & CSS3), and deploy them selectively attached to relevant videos.

You can ping jobs@videojuicer.com, or hit up Ted Han (http://twitter.com/knowtheory ) or Dan Glegg (http://twitter.com/angryamoeba ) for more info. Our email addresses are also our first names at videojuicer.com.

Also, feel free to ask me anything 'bout the job here if you have questions :)

As a result of my last few posts there were quite a few people recommending that I use the who's hiring post as an opportunity to make fellow HN'ers aware of roles that might interest them.

This is my first post that is anything remotely related to me sourcing candidates and I am keeping a close eye on it to see if it's well received or universally hated. So far it has a few upvotes and I've received four emails from HN'ers who want me to help.
Sitting/lying on the couch tends to lead to drowsiness and napping for me.
That's some awfully selective quoting. The Vice President made the comment about Mass as the troops were getting out of Pakistan safely. Regardless of whether you agree with the mission, seem's like a pretty reasonable thing to be thankful for. Religious ceremonies are one way that billions of people express such feelings of thanks.
From my experience it seems that too much lying is also bad, the key is to change your position often enough so that parts of your body on which you sit/lie don't become stale.
Most of the hiring here seems to be for Java and C++ jobs. If anyone is hiring for C# roles..? any hints would be good!

Sitting all day always lead to me feeling pretty "blah" by the end of the day. I put an end table on top of my desk. My external monitor keyboard and mouse site on top of the end table, and my laptop sits below the end table on my desk. I alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day. I feel much better at the end of the day, now.

Not every idea's value is the size of its community though; in fact, most ideas / businesses don't need thousands or millions of users to be profitable or valuable.

So yes, if you're building a platform of sorts, then by all means skip the monetization part initially. Skipping it though, does mean you incur the risk that you won't be able to monetize properly later on. Simply saying you'll figure out the revenue later on, is a bad excuse for not having a plan in place before.

At the end, it'll be a currency problem or war. Since US$ shifted from gold-backed to oil-backed in the 70s, it only need to focus on making sure oil is traded in US$, so other countries has to earn US$ to pay for oil. It would be eye-dropping to see US gov. doesn't print money to pay its debt. If that happens, who knows what's next.
One thing to consider (and I'm not in the colouring book market), but....

Are you planning other colouring books? Some parents may not want their kids colouring in monsters and may prefer other types of colouring in.

Little girls might want to colour in princesses with lots and lots of pink...

Are you going to focus on monsters forever or are you going to expand it?

Vistaprint is hiring for a variety of technical positions (dev, ops, DBA, network, PM, data center engineer): http://bit.ly/great-tech-jobs

I've been here a little over 8 years and despite the boring outward impression you may have (and I initially had) of "Why would printing business cards be interesting?!?", this is an interesting and challenging place to work, with some of the best colleagues I've ever worked with.

We have sponsored H1B in the past, for the ideal candidate.
I'm in a similar position, although I'm still in year 2 of my startup and just exiting stealth.

It's a tricky one. I know I could be out contracting like my friends (the few there are, since I've been holed away for so long), earning £100k a year. Instead, I'm looking at minimum wage until this thing succeeds, or crashes and burns.

It's a rough life, this entrepreneur gig. On reflection, my advice would be to go save some money for a couple years, find a good woman, and have another go when you've got some more stability.
Android browser does it too. And possibly some others.
Oh I don't know...sometimes I think IE6 is a good example of why slow-moving companies can fail and startups can eat their lunch. If you don't identify and fix ingrained problems, you'll eventually be screwed.

I don't care if lots of companies keep overpaying to keep IE6 viable, or if it's challenging work done by large teams. Just because a job exists doesn't mean that job is very useful, especially to the economy as a whole.

If your talented people are actually doing interesting work, they'll be building skills that are more likely to apply to a variety of problems; they will probably be more energized too, and willing to stick with your company. Each country will also benefit, because talent pools will encourage companies to invest in certain areas instead of having people jump ship to wherever the next IE6 fire has been set (only to eventually be outsourced completely).

Companies could be spending all this money on things that actually make new and interesting products.

You don't need to look much further than an app store to see what can be achieved in a few months. It's that kind of developer potential that is currently being wasted on crap like IE6 workarounds.

This article says saudis weren't offered the body, mind you - john brennan phoned "a former counterpart in Saudi intelligence" to ask if it was a good idea.
PHP is OK for small, short-lived web applications (which is, sometimes, exactly what you need). It's only when the small things outlive their original purpose age get large and complicated that maintenance becomes a nearly impossible job of fixing one thing without two others and when you really start regretting the choice of PHP.

Not that there is no nice, maintainable PHP code out there. It's just that the overwhelming majority of the PHP code I've seen is a broken mess.
I always thought of WSGI as a bridge between the web server and whatever web framework you happen to use, but this and the referenced article talk a lot about interaction between different frameworks and applications.

I don't really understand what is meant by this. Does this mean they want Django to interact with, say, Bottle?
This column perpetuates a misleading theme in the debate. The author implies that the U.S. will suffer terrible consequence in the event of a default. This is true, but completely irrelevant: Under no circumstances will the U.S. actually default.

As long as federal revenues are greater than the costs of servicing our debt, we will continue to service it. The government is constitutionally obligated to do so. Rather than default, we will see catastrophic and immediate cuts in services. All of a sudden, the government's monthly outlays will have to fit into monthly revenues. This is the goal of the House Republicans -- "starve the beast." They're comfortable with a failure in negotiations. For them, it's a heads-we-win, tails-you-lose situation.

In any case, while a failure to raise the debt ceiling will send a lot of people home hungry, those people will certainly not be the bondholders.
