Ray on being complacency immune. 9:14:03 AM    comment [] So I made some online purchases over the weekend and thought I would share how I saved money on some of them: 1) Check out sites like GotApex on a daily basis to find out about special sales/deals from popular manufacturers like:  Dell, Gap, EBGames, Buy.com, Amazon.com, FTD.com and many more. 2) Get an American Express Gold card (or equivalent) and make all online purchases with it to take advantage of: Best Value Guarantee Buyer's Assurance Free Shipping & Handling from select vendors I have already saved hundreds of dollars by using this card so I can easily overlook the fact that there is a $75 annual fee. 8:19:37 AM    comment [] Krzysztof's take on the value of programming. Ah, well, I think the market in my profession is working just fine. I'm grossly overpaid compared to people who do work which I think has more intrinsic value (e.g., teachers, nurses, nannies, research professors, social activists) (and, no, I don't confuse my notions of intrinsic value with market value, just as I hope that nobody is confused enough to think that market value is the same as intrinsic value). And even at my pay scale I still have time to read mailing lists and do some free software work. When I spread money around, I sure as heck don't give it to people in my profession.
