Impressed! The only issue I have is with the lack of information about their real-world presence. Who are Linden, Jesse, and Alexander? Privacy policies alone don't exactly solve the issue of instilling trust.


Step 1: Save enough money to spend a few months there; Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit!

Bottom line, it's easier to get a work visa anywhere when someone already wants to hire you there. It's easier to find a job when you're physically able to attend interviews and networking events. It's also better to spend extensive time determining whether this is something you really want to do before putting forth all the effort for a work visa. You can't actually WORK on a tourist visa, but you can certainly broaden your UK-based horizons in the 6 months they'll give you.

Good luck!


What's your going rate? :-D


$50/hour


You're probably underselling yourself. Make that 50 quid/hr at least.


I own a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and am also a "minority" Hispanic/East Asian female.

From years of experience in Iraq in particular, I believe I am in the minority of small businesses that do not abuse certifying programs like 8(a) for profit in the world of defense contracting.


I was on ED IRC #lulzsec when they accused me of being a spy for the military. I laughed.


Liability would eventually be an issue.


Yeah, which is the point of the non-US/Europe hosting and domain registering, etc. Anonymous payment for hosting. What was the name of that really good French host that'd host anything and was aggressive about protecting its customers' privacy again? Basically any and all steps that could be taken to insure anonymity of those running the site. Likewise, no logs are kept of those using the site to search. Maybe minimal ones for security purposes in case of a breach for finding the cause and source. Ideally, little to no personal information of those running the site should be on there anyways. And no Tor please. Tor is a dead argument and very slow.


...did you pay attention to anything that went on with EG8? You have absolutely no guarantee that anything will be safe in France over the next few years, given Sarkozy's stance.


I can't believe she edited my original comment on her site.


Here's the link to my blog post where I discuss this http://bit.ly/ms4QUp

I'd love to cut her a break, but her and I are too similar for me to let this go.
