Yeah, probably alot of people of all kinds of backgrounds would find this kind of "temp" work, to be very appealing. It's a total win-win both for the runners who do tasks, and the end-customers, who get tasks done.

This concept is beyond brilliant. What an unbelievable stress reliever, to be able to have all sorts of tasks done for you, at a time that's convenient. If it turns out to be scalable / reproducable, it could be a real disruptor to parts of

LAMP is not the "cloud". It's a stack of an operative system (Linux), web server (Apache), database engine (MySQL) and scripting language (PHP). It's used for hosting web applications. The vague "cloud" term, ultimately boils down to an int

The point was: Get over the inertia and do something about the idea (finding and importing solar powered a/c's). "Pretty dick"? I guess it might be perceived like that. Wasn't intended though, hence the :-)

It means the same. You can even throw in "freelance" there as well. All terms just means an external person doing work for a company in some form. Typically you'd associate the "freelancer" with the scruffy php dev who does localpetshop.com

37Signals was initially your typical web design / development shop doing projects for customers. Consultants can roughly be considered "external, temporary employees", paid by the hour, usually by one or two clients. The web design shop wil

Call a consultant recruitment agency, they'll be able to guide you. The bad news is you DO need to slug it out for years, to gain experience. Not many companies will pay you 100+ USD an hour, if you are fresh out of college. I talked with a

I tried ooVoo recently as my significant other had problems getting Skype working. I must say I can't see it as a competitor to Skype. The UI is borderline unusable due to all the flashing ads. What's worse is my contact list of one got del

It's hard to know the exact drop in traffic. It's probably more than Nick Denton's claimed 7% but probably also less than the ~85% drop this article claims. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. In any case, even 7% is a pretty mas

Not knowing a whole lot about Silicon valley in particular and even less about economics, I still get the feeling that the US tech industry is very much in a bubble. From the outside, these absolutely soaring valuations of everything from e

There is a psychological term for that state of mind, which I'm sure most of the readers here know already. It's been investigated thoroughly by the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (try saying that 3 times fast). It's called Flow ( htt

This is indeed a very common scenario. Danish people move to Sweden for a period of time, just to be able to get a residence permit for their foreign spouse. My wife is well educated, but due to her Russian nationality, getting her to the c

It's more like a mental babystep. If you are not able to compile Hello world in a given toolchain, that says more about your competence with that particular toolchain, than it does about the toolchain itself.

by MortenK 16y ago
So you were at a competency level where you couldn't get Hello world to work, switched to another language and based on that, conclude that your choice of language plus editor is miles ahead of anything MS could offer?

Not entirely sure this fits the bill, but I've leased out one of my former lead developer to a client, when our consulting business got rammed. He's is offshore, and the client is in Europe. Right now I do individual consultancy, and then g
