I'm totally late too it, but I love the last one, smonster.

And, more than anything, I am thrilled you are doing this.

Can I get recommendations for password managers?

I have to confess to being paranoid about the cloud, and strive never to use it, so it surprises even me that I am even considering letting technology handle password generation.

What if it fails? Will I be locked out of everything?

Anyway, I recognize that using the same password for multiple things might not be the best plan, but I don't even know where to start with password stuff.

Suggestions greatly appreciated!

We use LastPass, which has been fine. I like the ability to make notes with an entry, so I can write down the answers to stupid security questions. (What was your first pet's favorite color when you were in fifth grade?)

I haven't used any others, though.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I use LastPass, and I pay for the premium version so I have access on all my devices. It's fantastically easy to use.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

CLIENTS. AUGH.

(Sorry, just wanted to vent where no one else would see.)

(I love these guys, but it's herding cats every month just to get useable photos and concepts. And then they add shit up until the final final.)

Do you guys have a billable time app tracker type thing you use?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I don't but would also be interested. Also, anyone use a mileage tracker app?

I need a pep talk, or real talk, some kind of talk. I'm a few weeks into starting up my own thing, and it's not going so hot. I have now done four or five estimates, and no takers. I think no one can afford me. I guess I need to drop my prices? I don't know what else to do. I have it out there that I'm doing a "friends and family" deal, so I'm not necessarily locked into low prices.

I think I'm PMSing too, which doesn't help. I'm having a real hard time finding my motivation right now.
