The "only focus on one thing" advice you give is our strategy at GridSpy ( http://gridspy.co.nz ) too. We can monitor solar systems, water levels, fuel levels, solar hot water performance, temperature, humidity, battery levels and yes AC po

An observation with no content. Not a satisfying article.

I'm still in my fulltime job (see http://blog.gridspy.co.nz/2010/02/part-time-entrepreneur.htm... ) but I can see the benefit of having the "sink or swim" pressure. Everyone close to me, including my co-founder, keeps telling me to stay fu

Or even 30c per click when 1/100 click-throughs convert to a sale.

However, it makes for entertaining reading.

Your clean analysis mirrors my own choice to use virtual and dedicated servers. I think that it would be sensible for a VC founded startup to eliminate risk and go for scale on day one with an internal infrastructure team + self managed, co

Those bubbles would have been a nightmare if they didn't relate to each other in such a clean way They have some great grouping features - snapping, colouring, pushing, connections with lines, naming groups.

I guess that is why it is an eclipse plugin. Pity it doesn't interoperate with all eclipse-compatible languages (just yet). I'd love to use it to work with Python.

Hopefully this will make working on the Gridspy project easier. Typically I have 3 IDEs open - my Firmware IDE, Eclipse + Visual Studio. In Eclipse I am editing a twisted project (usually 3 different files at once but only 2 methods from ea

It is very likely that the Rocky script evolved a great deal after production started. Sounds more like Stallone is advocating Minimum Viable Product.

Sounds like a good implementation of Ray-Tracing. Lighting and animation are going to be major hurdles to overcome, followed by tools.

The salesperson did say that there was only a single client... “But we don’t need to change it for everyone,” Craig jumped in, “just one client. Surely, you can do that!”

That is good, since many of the startups here need paying customers -> Those customers would have to have money to spend. Having a forum of startup friendly hackers to publicise to is extremely useful.

Long pipelines cause issues when branches get mis-predicted. The half processed instructions have to be thrown away. What you want is a CPU with a short pipeline, a fast clock rate and if possible instruction reordering and multiple dispatc

I look forward to using them for GridSpy. Thanks for the recommendation.

I love developing software. To me achievement is a happy customer. Who cares if all memory of me is erased in 300 years. Hopefully I will have helped to advance some technology in that time.

That is true. However, you need to choose recreational activities carefully - hopefully ones that will further your goals. Also, choose activities that are non-addictive (and recognise the addictive elements in those you do choose) so you c

Obviously you are a perpetual motion machine. It works fine for everyone else.

You should also remember the choices made in the past and offer them with one-click actions. I cycle every morning and night and I often eat the same things over the course of each fortnight.

True. However some achievements will last after I am dead, some will not. I'm more interested in the former.

Your skills are real, your achievement is meaningless. I am an awesome Natural Selection (the FPS RTS) commander. I have lead epic campaigns back and forth across the game map against huge odds. When I played, my team often told me that I w

1) Not for a poor entrepreneurial student fresh out of college with a great idea but no track record. 2) Even for a professional, you can't get chunks of work exactly 1 hour long. There are huge set-up and tear-down overheads to any job, pl

YCombinator pays entrepreneurs up to $600 in travel charges to have the chance for YC to interview them. What does that tell you about the value of lowering the barrier to pitch?

How about : Any achievement the game rewards you for is a fake achievement. Whenever I go up a level in WoW, or gain a kill in Quake, or beat a boss and pick up his loot I have a fake achievement. Sure, there are some real achievements in t

That is true. Also, any time I spend not working on Gridspy or my day job I spend with my wife and kids.
