I started working out at home. I really like the exercises from Caroline Girvan, especially the Iron Series ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhu1QCKrfgPWmStsg7imo... )
I've done this series 4 times and I can say that I see results (including feeling better). It was hard in the beginning but now I'm (mostly) looking forward on doing the exercises.
I use a mat, a (round) resistance band, a (small) yoga block, and some weights: two dumbbells of 5/10/15/20kgs each (we now also have other weights, like 3/8kgs). It took me some time to use the 20kgs weights. A chair/sofa/bed I'm surely you can already find at home.
Including the warm-up (do it!) you'll need a little more than 30 minutes, but not a lot more.
Dear <user>,
Thank you for contacting FogBugz Support. I understand that you have received a billing notice and do not want to be charged. You may be wondering why you have received this communication and wish to have your account deleted.
In the first place, please be rest assured that you will not be charged unless you have added a valid payment method to your account. The notification you have received is due to the recent changes to the FogBugz Base Subscription Model. Please accept our apologies for any misunderstanding this may have caused.
Additionally, be aware that your subscription will be automatically canceled and scheduled for deletion 30 days after the current billing period unless you add a valid payment method.
Finally, please be aware that trial accounts that were not active for a period of 9 months are automatically disabled, and will result in an Error 500 if you try to access the URL. These customers may have still received a notification despite not having an active account or a configured payment method.
Since there is no further action required from our end at this time, we will be marking this ticket as solved. That said, if still you have any other questions or concerns with which we may assist, please let us know, and we will be happy to help as required.
Thank you.
Best regards,

I had a hard time logging in to get in contact with them.
My fogbugz link (for which I should pay) returned 500 Internal Server Error, logging in Firefox didn't work, in Chrome it said that the password in invalid, and I didn't get a reset e-mail (tried twice), I've logged with Google credentials but I got a "This page doesn't exist" on a central-supportdesk.zendesk.com page.
So it sounds like grand incompetence rather than malice. Probably their automated mailer does not check whether the account is disabled or not. A junior dev is going to have a bad day.
That's a great question. Now that I think of it, it's the incentive structure, for the most part. One gets recognition for half-assed implementations delivered very fast.
I've worked on good (enough) code: good code coverage in tests, relatively fast tests, easy setup to develop (integrated DB, mail server, LDAP server), consistent formatting, no useless comments, good naming, code organization that was logical, even if it required some time to get accustomed to it, some good documentation as READMEs.
Not everything was perfect, but it was much better than the code changed by future generations which tried to mess it up with almost every commit, in the name of "it's good enough", "consistent style is not needed as I can still read the code", "what tests?", "we can refactor later"...
I used to pay a lot of attention to who said what, but realised I was pre-judging comments based on what I'd seen people say earlier, and dismissing people's comments prematurely. So now I usually don't read the usernames because I find that tends to prevent me from judging a comment on its merits.
I didn't realise it was you that made that comment earlier ... sorry.
