Photography too... particularly landscape and wildlife photography. It forces you to get outside, to wait, to be still and patient.

I see what they've done there... and it's very smart. In fact, when I was learning CSS I always assumed it could support variables. However, I'm not convinced that putting yet another layer between your code and the browser is worth the com

If only the language itself was on the same solid footing! I love Ruby on Rails but I see most of the uncertainty coming from broken Ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9 builds -- Rails changes just add to the mess.

It also depends on which "flavour" of Netbeans you use. Netbeans for Ruby (i.e., without the Java stuff) is really very responsive (although I don't need/use code completion).

Unfortunately, most web browsers and sites are impossible to navigate by keyboard. So, as you've already got your hand on the mouse and are using it to click links, I think this is actually one situation where it can be justified (unlike, f

Honestly, it doesn't matter what camera you buy. Lens are much more important but even they pale into insignificance compared to subject, light and skill. Just buy a camera then... Practice, practice, practice. Shoot everything. Try everyth

You need BabySmash... but it's mostly for younger kids. They hit keys and the letters spin on the screen accompanied by fun sounds.

Catching that moment is one of the reasons I'm building http://shutterscouts.com - an idea notebook and forecasting service for landscape photographers. A pro landscape photographer will plan their shoot: weather, sunrise/set, times, dire

That's a humorous exaggeration, right? 2 x processes + 20GB database = $51/mth Most people won't require every addon, and there's a free or cheap option in every case. Yes, you can spend "hundreds of dollars a month" but not easily

I've often long said it: there's no money in photographs but lots of money in photographers. More photographers = more competition (if you're also a photographer) OR a bigger market (if you sell to photographers) which would you choos

Much of our collaboration/communication is done over IM. The problem with IM is that they still expect a reasonably instant reply. Sure, you can ignore it but then you'll just get an email and/or a phone call. As a preference though, I pref

Not in my case. In fact, doctors appointments, haircuts & family gatherings etc provide my main imputes for shaving -- or when the stubble starts getting trapped in my phone :)

Reddit doesn't allow targeting sub-reddits yet does it? I'd be interested in advertising but even at $20 there doesn't seem reason to advertise on the main reddit page when I know my target audience will be on a subreddit and can get much b

I have a policy of not bringing the work laptop home... it never sets foot in my house so there's no temptation to use it for my side-business. Ironically, this causes problems with my employer because they'd prefer I had access to compan

What's interesting about these numbers is not that SO has finally surpassed EE... but that it has only just happened. Seriously, I'd assumed SO had beaten them into the ground a year ago!

It sounds like the sort of thing any C programmer went through 5-10years ago when they first encountered Java. Java is what it is and I wouldn't generalise the comments beyond this: If you're thinking of copy'n'pasting your Objective-C iPho

Even though I had a VPS configured and running for almost a year (i.e., all the upfront sysadmin setup done) I was stressing about what I hadn't done, or more precisely what I didn't know I needed to do. Forgetting to update the OS, check i

The SSL thing is really annoying and expensive but I think there's sufficient demand/pressure that Heroku will find a better alternative... possibly with the help of Amazon.

It's always great to hear of others attempting the same thing. Although, I must admit that I'm not applying myself to the day job - at all. Bizarrely though, I've just had my annual review and got an above average rating, which is the same

This is really important to me. Every second "lifehack" post is about getting up all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and being productive in the mornings. But what if you've got 8 hours of boredom/frustration/pointless cubicle existence, a fa

We need less of these "how to be great in the morning" posts and more "how do you get through 8 hours of a mind-numbing day job and then kick-start your brain at 8pm when you can work on something interesting" posts.

As one of those that has lived (through a car accident) this resonates so strongly. There are elements of my life that I'm deeply unhappy about but I'm working on changing them. These changes won't overnight but what scares me more than any

For Patrick to kick ass in this small niche is great... and that has often got me thinking: If he can do that with that niche, there's some hope for me yet! But when you think about it, it isn't that niche a product. Who's the market? T
