I was interested until I saw that salary. Try £60,000 - £90,000 and you might find some decent CTOs.

You'd also get Germaine Greer knocking on your door. I've been down this road before.. http://tomoconnor.eu/blogish/hell-hath-no-fury-man-discrimin...

The lack of micro instance is a real shame. I suspect that's because the time taken to do a full chef install run on a micro might be vast.

I'm currently writing a blogpost about how to spawn up a simple Rails stack. I've got a broken instance in a boot-stop-terminate-boot loop. It's very beta.

This is a bit of a grey area that we deliberately avoided with PDFTribute.net; it seems perfectly acceptable to aggregate and index metadata, just as long as you're not actually storing any data.

It'd be interesting if that page listed jobs at partner organisations.. I'd love to be involved with a project like that, but it's difficult to get involved.

I don't think that's possible. Big|Fast|Cheap, Choose two. (or one, under some circumstances).

We're working with the creator of edward.io to get some kind of integration between the two sites, and also working on a search/index/analysis tool for pdftribute.net

We're working on the search implementation. It will be available soon.

Hey, it's Open Source, right? LICENSE seems to confirm this.

I usually start projects on github, and allow the random name chooser to make that decision for me.. "Great repository names are short and memorable. Need inspiration? How about drunken-nemesis."

Have you considered Login with Facebook/Twitter using Oauth? I hate creating user accounts on different sites, and I'm sure I'm not alone here.

I used to, but then the crunch hit the london VFX scene, and I was made redundant. I'd love to get back to a VFX company. StudioSysadmins is a good place for VFX ops guys.

I disagree too. I've tried many a time over the years to do good front-end work (especially where web apps are concerned), and I've concluded that I suck at it. Really. The things I find appealing are entirely orthogonal to the rest of the

I've been playing with Musical Markov Chains in the last 3 days. This is what I've made. http://musikov.twinhelix.org/ It takes a midi file (you upload it), and creates a markov chain represented as a directed graph. Things it doesn't do

I could if I stored them. I should really do that. If you append .dot to the name of the svg file, then you can grab the raw graphviz file.. There's no database behind it all really.. I didn't think that far ahead (and largely forgot abo

The "R Kelly" thread reminds me of a thing I wrote after XKCD's Na comic. This also uses graphviz to generate SVGs showing the path through a song's lyrics. Lighter coloured blobs are more frequently mentioned, and there's an option to co

Actually.. If you had all of the instance data stored on a fast SAN, so that it was available to all of the hosts simultaneously (possible.) And you had an ultra-high speed interconnect (40Gbit Infiniband would do) between hosts, for sharin

http://cl.ly/image/3z33443u2P0Z Where's the "Do I look like I give a toss about football?" button? Seriously. I thought we'd gotten past gender-profiling and stereotypes back in the 90s.
