Envato
Originally founded by three designers, Envato has always been a company by creatives, for creatives. Our earliest recruit, Ryan Allen, quickly moved the company to Ruby on Rails and helped start the strong developer culture that is a huge part of Envato today. We believe these roots are important in ensuring our focus and understanding of our community. We may have grown a lot over the years, but dev and design is in our DNA.

The clip initially appears to be a scene from a cliched murder mystery, with a trench coat–wearing detective interviewing the maid, butler and lady of the house over the death of Lord Smithe, who lies sprawled on the drawing room floor. But the sketch is merely the premise for a test designed to show just how bad we are at noticing things that we're not looking for – including on the roads. After the detective names the killer the scene is replayed, this time filmed from a camera that captures all the film crew's out-of-shot manoeuvrings. This angle reveals that the 50 second scene contained 21 glaring continuity errors; paintings, props and rugs were all switched half way through the shoot, and even the actor playing Lord Smithie's corpse was replaced.

Non-techie business models for aspiring digital nomads We have a copywriting and web design business, which sucks for the purpose of this post. Because that’s what almost every bloomin’ digital nomad does (unless they’re into SEO or affiliate schemes). Thankfully, there are plenty of other people who prove that you can be a teacher, or accountant, or shop owner, or psychologist, or a lot of other things, and make a decent income while travelling the world.

The 17th Surgery Seconds later, seemingly out of nowhere, Noah was next to her. He was crying and covered in ash — but he was okay. Pete’s aunt, who’d been standing near them during the explosion, had picked him up and brought him over to Rebekah. “I thought it was a sign,” she says. ”I thought, ‘He’s here, he’s okay. And now I really am going to die.’” What I learned living abroad as a digital nomad Computerworld - My wife and I have lived as digital nomads for the past 10 months in Greece, Turkey, Kenya, Morocco and Spain. During that time, I didn't take a single week off. I worked the entire time. About Us When brothers Brian Williams and Andy Rankin joined their dad, Wynne “Pop” Williams, to establish Viget Labs in 1999, the Internet was changing everything. They wanted to help lead the charge by creating a new kind of services company where: innovation is the norm; quality is valued over growth; clients are respected (and are expected to reciprocate); integrity and authenticity are required; hard work and commitment are rewarded; measurable results matter most; and staffers feel like family (and they actually love coming to work). So, they did. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished. Hundreds of happy clients, an exceptional team of 65 in 3 great locations, and more than a dozen years of good old fashioned profitability (some years leaner than others).

22 Things I've Learned as a Digital Nomad Digital Nomad: individuals that leverage digital technologies to perform their work duties and more generally conduct their lifestyle in a nomadic manner…. Over 2 years have passed since I quit my job. Despite the image of me sipping Mai-tais on the beach somewhere (which can happen), there’s a big discrepancy between what my friends think I’m doing and what I’m actually doing.

How I Broke my Body and Then Fixed It April 23, 2013 – San Francisco, CA My concentration broke long enough to see Kelly Starrett, owner of San Francisco CrossFit, grinning at me from across the room. He seemed pleased. I was crouched in a deep squat, arms locked out, precariously balancing a weighted barbell overhead—not the best position to lose focus. I tried not to laugh, ground my feet into the ground, and stood up. Force browser cache to reload CSS: Genesis, WordPress, W3 Total Cache — Black Hills Web Works If you do any reading at all about browser cache settings for the W3 Total Cache plugin for WordPress, or for that matter, HTTP cache header settings for any website, you’ll find that the general consensus is that CSS files don’t change very often, if at all, so go ahead and set the expire or cache control headers for up to one year, or 31536000 seconds. This setting will tell your visitor’s browser to cache the CSS file for up to one year, so that the next time they visit your site, your CSS file will already be cached on their computer, making your website seem that much faster. That’s a good thing for speed, but it’s a bad thing if you make any changes to your CSS file, because your repeat visitors may not see that CSS change, and chances are good that your website is going to look like it’s broken in their browsers, when it looks fine in your own browser.
