Being in the UK, I typically enjoy a substantial amount of tea during the day. None of that poncy herbal tea though - stricly strong white tea. The British Armed Forces are supplied with a particular brand of tea from NAAFI ( http://www.rin

Does anybody actually use top, rather than htop? It's the first thing I install on every system I build. Something I've become very fond of recently is Monit, which doesn't appear to be on the list. I've found it very reassuring to have Mon

The number of available and useful gems makes Ruby my favourite for the kitchen sink. I recently had to build a web spider very quickly for a concept, and there was a gem that provided a multi-threaded spider. Obviously, Ruby wouldn't be my

I really like it - the interface is very clean and exactly what I was expecting (which is good)! It's nice being able to track a conference, but how about being able to track a topic too?

Your response seems overly-critical for someone who's simply looking for advice. I have a few issues: Quitting a job within a year won't look particularly bad on your resume; quitting multiple jobs within a year will, however. I left my fir

I would assume that they're building momentum before they introduce premium services. Flickr's probably quite a good example of this. I know Posterous have mentioned that they'll be implementing paid-for extras in the future, but that the c

I was hired as a PHP developer, but I'm gradually transitioning them over to Ruby. I still need a manual for both of these languages; PHP for the ludicrous amount of functions ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.levenshtein.php anybody

My university did exactly this. (Supposedly) spent anywhere between £5 mil and £50 mil on a new building; £80,000 on their opening ceremony with lots of local celebrities; and then left all the students with 4 year-old hardware for design/v

I'd highly recommend Spree ( http://spreecommerce.com/tour ). It's based around the payment processor that Shopify uses, and it supports a lot of the more advanced Google Analytics features.

I've yet to use it myself, and I'm not sure if it's entirely been released yet, but Amazon has a payments system in the works: http://aws.amazon.com/fps/
