Nope, it's everything except my face. Cameras are great for hiding behind ;-) http://www.shutterscouts.com/about.html

This is a more accurate description although it's not news as this has been policy for about a year now!

I didn't read the article but I assume it's about flipping the appropriate bits on the disk using a small needle? No? I'm shocked :) Perhaps this guy has a bright future as a Nigerian scammer!

Just as an aside, Noel Sharkey taught a neural networks course I took but everything I learnt about them came from implementing a back-prop net in Occam for another class!

hmmm... interesting. It looks like you can only get info for in-progress projects though. Really she wants a public version of the projects page to show off to family/friends/non-ravelrers and ravelry is a much better interface for building

I recently introduced my wife (a crochet-addict) to Ravelry. The result? She's now a Ravelry-addict. I can hardly get on the laptop myself these days. She's taking photos, queuing up projects, checking out patterns and even going as far as

ok, interesting idea and nice site but where's the business case? i.e., "show me the money!"

This was what I wrote in my post-PhD failure write-up: "It is important to understand, from the outset of the PhD, who your target audience is: it’s you. I remember hearing that, on average, 1.6 people will read your PhD thesis. I’m pretty

My experience, as a developer in huge multinational that has been involuntary moved into QA: it sucks. You might need sysadmin skills but not dev skills. You don't get to solve the problems, just identify them. If you do overstep the bounda

Indeed, this was my response when I heard the news: "SPSS should find a comfortable place in IBM's portfolio of impossible-to-use products"

No offence but 'smashing' to me means broken bones in multiple pieces. That contraption wouldn't work there. You'd have been better off firmly taping a pencil to the underneath of your finger (with the eraser pointing forward for grip). Thi

I understand what you're trying to do, and testing this is important, but I think everyone would be a bit concerned about sending emails which will reveal their email addresses. Perhaps you could find a more focused user community to test y

I was actually surprised by this and I'm sure there are plenty of intranet or small scale subscription services using Google Maps without paying. Does Microsoft or Yahoo offer more startup friendly terms?

Twilio is possibly a more ground-breaking service, or at least it will be when they finally support international calls properly.

I've long thought that a StackOverflow for photographers would be a great resource... but not a business. Unfortunately, the StackExchange pricing assumes that you will be a revenue-generating because no one can justify $129/month on runnin

Seth Godin has a book ("The Dip") about knowing when to quit and I should have read it much earlier, during my PhD. Essentially, the absolute worst outcome is to stick with it and give up towards the end (which is what I did). Then you've g

Mobile_fu. You're right! I used it briefly on a site before removing the functionality as I didn't really need it.

That article is no older than the one linked! There's also a rails plugin that can serve mobile views to various mobile browsers including opera mobile. Sorry, on mobile at the moment and I can't remember the name but try searching github.

How did they get this article so wrong? 37signals charging for Ruby on Rails?!!! What sort of journalism is this?

Coding is not necessarily part of a PhD (even in Comp Sci!) and programming well certainly isn't. No one will ever look at that code, inspect, test it, document it or complain when any of those things are missing My rather opinionated thoug

A startup is a business and a business makes money (or at least attempts to). So this is more like a "Webapp in One Week". Nitpicking aside, best of luck.

Hey, I knew Abi a few years ago! So weird to read about her here. Sounds like a great business and lessons everyone can learn on the role luck can play in your success or failure. Not sure it's a typical HN story though.

I agree with this. I didn't click the link because I assumed it was either a porn site or an Easter Bunny / Chocolate thing... or even Easter Bunny porn! Really I had no idea what it might be about. And yeah, matching on looks seems frankly
