Just creating an 'About Us' page with some info on who you guys are would help. Currently the site is pretty much a faceless oblivion. Don't get me wrong, I like the concept, and would be interested in writing for you to get

I'll second this. Embedded system development is highly specialised and usually involves bare-metal coding on limited hardware - sounds like something you'd enjoy given your background. Modern computing has become far too generali

In a perfect display of schadenfreude, the FBI might now be getting an idea of why people are reluctant to allow them unfettered access to their private information :) Not really a useful comment, I know, but I had to show my appreciation f

'Lost' is a reasonable diagnosis on its own. Depression takes many forms, but in such a situation is when you cannot bring yourself to face working again (been there). Sounds like you've fallen out of the rhythm of work. In w

Hi OP, I'm in much the same position. Perhaps with a few differences - I was more interested in computer hardware and setup, but got into coding because I was told that is where I would make money. These people were not wrong; hardware

There is quite some irony here - I was always taught to code by using standard libraries because they've been tested to destruction and back in ways I'd never be able to work out, and that rolling my own was destined for failure.

So shocked to see Bowie passed this morning. Although I wasn only a casual fan, I appreciated his musical talent and most of the musicians in my favourites list were influenced by him. Without any doubt, the 1980s wouldn't have been th

I think it stems from the limit imposed by the number of days elsewhere; since the days don't carry forward (or if they do, not all of them), you HAVE to use them, which creates incentive to take vacations or you miss out. And just lik

Well, was not expecting the downvotes. Yes, my comment was based on the first impression of the article, like quite a few others, so it was indeed hasty and misinformed. I will say though, there is another adage that applies - 'people

Yeah, the hostname's wrong. Still bad that Mozilla managed to foul this up.

Being unbearably nice is difficult to pull off without mocking. It's a fine line generally only walked to make a point.

I'll just add my $0.02 and say that sticking a job for a year is not necessary. I quit my first job shortly after I passed my probation - it was my first job out of university, and whilst the people weren't toxic, the work was, an

As previously noted, the always-on microphone probably has something to do with it. If it had come at a different, less paranoid time, I'm sure it would be looked upon as the Star Trek computer we have always dreamed of. Yes, Siri and

All very good advice here, and you're not alone in having this problem. In fact, there's a whole site dedicated to it, mostly for entertainment, but also some tidbits of advice here and there: http://clientsfromhell.net
