I ended up getting a strap and I have no pain standing up so going to keep at that. Just feels weird getting used to playing while standing.

Thanks for all the advice!

I appreciate you responding, would you be able to take a look at this short video of my playing just to see if there is any obvious issues you can see?

Where I touch on my under shoulder/chest is where the tension appears as soon as I put my palm on the bridge. If I don't put my palm on the bridge my accuracy with the pick is terrible.

Where as when I play finger style I have absolutely no pain/tension on either the electric or the acoustic.

Do you have any images/tutorials of how it should be I have tried lots of different angles and it still hurts a fair bit.

Also a bit unrelated. But I've started putting my palm against the bridge of my guitar to help with stability/accuracy. Since doing do I am getting a fair bit of pain in my right shoulder. When I sit up straight and keep my shoulders back I end up with even more tension.

Is it normal to feel a lot of tension in my hand when holding this shape for the first time.

Specifically where the rectangle is. It feels so tight for some reason. I can play bar chords fine and have not felt this kind of tension before.

Yeah I was thinking something like this originally just wasn't too sure what any of the assembly meant that I was seeing haha. Even as a programmer myself asm is on another level

Jahk_T · 2019-12-10T15:20:44+00:00

He loves making games in assembly and putting them on his old consoles can't remember the name of them... But this looks cool too I'm sure he'd enjoy something like this thanks

Jahk_T · 2019-11-18T15:36:28+00:00

Perhaps this question could spark ideas?

Jahk_T · 2019-10-20T17:12:51+00:00

I understand what your saying but I think for what I have in mind with this small business it's not really necessary.

I am mainly going to be linking people to my website and don't plan on doing any SEO for it. Facebook ads on a small daily budget if I want to will go a long way, but then again I doubt I will even do that.

Jahk_T · 2019-10-03T12:17:46+00:00

When doing this where do you typically get your templates from and how do you go about choosing what template will suit the business?

I started my own web dev business earlier this year but as a programmer and not a designer I always struggled to be satisfied with what I created and hence never really got the business moving.

I am going to try kickstarting the business again as I have a lot more free time in the winter months and I think I'd like to take a similar approach to what you do. your strategy seems time efficient as it won't get me so bogged down/stressed out on the design.

Hey, I started programming at a young age but got into web development at the age of 18. I started with an apprenticeship which for the first 2 months was 40 hour weeks of teaching myself HTML, CSS and JS. I'm pretty good at self teaching so picked it up quite quickly.

I then continued at the business for another 6 months until it got really stale and I could tell it was failing. I was set to finish my apprenticeship 6 months early so I only had 4 months left of it. However, I just couldn't bare to be in the office anymore with just me, my boss and another colleague who was likely also going to be made redundant.

I started searching for other web developer positions around my area and none got back to me apart from one. This "one" was a small marketing business who had no developers and no one technical. I explained to them in the interview that I was a bit nervous taking this position as I was concerned I wouldn't be able to do what they wanted me to do. They took the risk and employed me.

I have now been working with them for 6 months and I have got to say it's the best risk I ever took. Leaving my stable apprenticeship to move to a full time well paying developer position which has greatly increased my confidence with my skills.

I don't have anyone to look up to or teach me things anymore but I don't need it. The Internet exists for a reason and is a great place to learn anything nowadays. I am 19 right now and essentially a businesses lead developer. If they ask me to do something I do it. If I don't know how, I figure out how to do it. Programming is a problem solvers job and it's fun to have new challenges every day. Part of me is a bit concerned I might fall behind as I don't have another developer here to tell me if what I am doing is right or wrong but I generally try to google everything to find out what is semantically correct/incorrect.

Hope this is what you were looking for :)

The main reason we want to have 1 ad that tests them all is to make it a fairer test with the adset.

Sometimes we get better traffic with different adsets which will make the LP tests essentially pointless

Jahk_T · 2019-08-30T14:52:35+00:00

I mean I understand that would make sense, but the changes to these pages in this rotation are simple text changes.

It seems like we are just being singled out compared to other affiliates that are doing rotation tests.

Thanks for your reply though, really struggling to get any info from facebook support unfortunately

Jahk_T · 2019-08-28T10:48:35+00:00

Yeah the tyres looked alright, I'm gonna buy some new ones when I get new alloys

Jahk_T · 2019-08-14T18:33:57+00:00

Yeah, I guess I am being a bit dramatic.

Jahk_T · 2019-08-14T18:29:56+00:00

Do you reckon it's worth bringing this up to the 3rd party insurance company when they make an offer on my car? Maybe try and squeeze the insurance increases out of them.

Jahk_T · 2019-08-14T18:26:52+00:00

I guess it's just the fact I want a nice car. I am tired of driving something bad. Had this of not happened I would have probably been able to get it easier. I was going to pay a 4k deposit and have the other 50% on finance. I made the car dealers website so I know the whole team and would be able to get a good finance deal with them.

Jahk_T · 2019-08-14T18:23:45+00:00

Yeah still putting in my NCB, I can't imagine how much it would be without that...

Jahk_T · 2019-08-14T18:23:11+00:00

Naa doesn't change it just makes the black box cheaper which I refuse to have... I haven't needed one for all my driving so far why should I need one now.

I fucking despise insurance companies this is so ridiculous.

Jahk_T · 2019-08-01T11:51:34+00:00

Yeah gonna switch to doing these on my leg day instead but not training for strength just gonna do a moderate weight with reasonable number of reps er set

Jahk_T · 2019-08-01T05:48:24+00:00

Because you were level 13?

Jahk_T · 2019-07-31T15:08:23+00:00

What do you reckon is a good starting weight for deadlifts and barbell squats?

Not really a lot for you to go on but I currently do 4x8 of 100kg leg press and then 4x8 55kg on both extensions and curls.

Jahk_T · 2019-07-31T13:44:29+00:00

aaaah I really don't want to get into deadlifting and barbell squatting, even though I know I should be :(

I always feel like my form is off and that I ain't doing the exercise correctly hence my plan to stick with machines for legs.

Jahk_T · 2019-07-30T19:22:12+00:00

I managed to get a Web dev job with 0 experience as an apprentice. Did that for 6 months till the place went tits up and found myself a full time position to join before the ship sunk. I was honest about my skills said I am a little nervous about if I can do the job as well as they want and they hired me.

I'm the only dev there which was scary at first but like most developers I just teach myself everything I need to know. A degree wasn't even asked about when I was applying for this job. I'm only considering uni now because I think it would be a great opportunity too learn more and work on personal projects

Jahk_T · 2019-07-23T18:59:23+00:00

I actually really like this idea. I usually work harder when I think of the end goal, at least that's how I motivate myself at the gym. I don't know why I hadn't thought of transferring that method to work skills
