Is there an online retailer you would buy from if you needed a new laptop as your development machine?

Has to be under $500 and no OS. Will just do a fresh Ubuntu install.

Thanks for the guidance -

I am seeking advice from the community regarding suppliers of T-shirts with Programmable LEDs or shirts that have an erasable area?

Preferrably someone willing to do a small batch (< 100)

I am seeking advice from the community regarding a promo for a product I am working on. Anyone know of a producer for a shirt found in the example? (LED Programmable Scrolling Message Badge Area)

Where can I source this for a small batch (< 100)

I am new to ruby, played with Sinatra now want to try Rails 3. I am setting up my environment and came up with a checklist.

How would you improve it?

Here is what I have installed

Rake .9.2 Compass 0.11.5 Rails 3.0.7 Passenger 3.0.7 + a host of dependencies. My goal is to create an environment with Compass Framework, Passenger and jQuery.

Here are my steps -- Thanks for the feedback!

Create Rails App, Database & Server Instance (1) Run rails new prjName --using blueprint (2) Is httpd.conf file pointing to right file? (3) Delete /public/index.html.erb (4) Update Rakefile if using Rake 0.9.2

module ::applicationName class Application include Rake::DSL end end

module ::RakeFileUtils extend Rake::FileUtilsExt end

(5) Run rake db:create:all (optional)

(6) Run rails g scaffold modelName attr:DataType..

(7) Add to route.rb root :to => 'resource#action'

(8) Run rake db:migrate

(9) Go to migrate folder and confirm contents of date_create_resource.rb

(10) Add gem "rake", "~> 0.9.2" to Gemfile

Set up jQuery, Compass and Finish Up

(11) Run compass init rails add generated statement to Gemfile

(12)

Add gem "jquery-rails", "~> 1.0.12" to Gemfile (13)

Run rails generate jquery:install --ui (14)

Run compass init rails (to generate a sass folder)? I should not have to do this? Any Compass Users please help me understand why this is the case...

(15) Place js references in ERB file <%= javascript_include_tag"javascripts/jquery.min.js"%> <%= javascript_include_tag "javascripts/jquery-ui.min.js"%> <%= javascript_include_tag "javascripts/jquery-ui.min.js"%>

(16) Review, update Gemfile (jQuery,rake, compass)

(17) Update the compass.rb file

(18) Run bundle install

(19) Restart the server sudo apachectl graceful

Fellow HNers,

You've walked the walk and I am trying to do the same. I started off as the proverbial idea guy, then got sucked into the awesomeness that is building a service.

But now I need to do some freelancing work.

I pitched a few folks and got a gig, but now I need to put together a proposal and include a work-for-hire contract and maintenance agreement.

So the ask should be obvious by now: Can direct me to, or allow me to use these materials? I am sure you know what should be in there but for clarity sake, it should include the following activities:

1. Work-for-hire to build website, including hosting 2. Maintenance Agreement which enables me to specify the activities and the the spec. period

A mock template for a website proposal that looked professional would be extremely helpful!

Cheers folks!
