Then when I exit (e.g. Ctrl+C or Cmd+C) this error will show…

I just bought while the stock market is 7% down, was I wrong?
I got some dividends lately (though not a lot) which went to a cash account. Today I logged in to my account and the Philippine Stock Market/Index was down 7%. Hmmm, but I went ahead anyway and bought a stock selling only about half of what I believe is fair value (according to COLFinancial –…

one possible path towards financial freedom
I ran into a question earlier about how to invest if you have limited income, where do you start. I am not a professional financial advisor so please do your own due diligence.

WordPress 3.8 is a welcome upgrade – nice admin fonts
Just upgraded (went out Dec 12 but just saw it) to WordPress 3.8. Love the new admin interface (way better fonts). And as always, it’s great having to upgrade something and not have to worry about things being broken. Good job WordPress!

My Quest to be a Better Leader
Engineering Leadership (or management – some engineers are not fans of the term “manager”) is not easy as some people think.
