Maybe it's different in London compared to NY. There's plenty of decent makers in Finance in London. There's people who use all the best practice techniques in software development. People who wrote code you use every day.

In my country, I made a replacement for cab payments with mobile payments. We had the cab payment people, and all the telcos on board. However, because of the telcos selling virtual goods, they were used to 30%-50%-70% or more of the tran

Interesting to see that the parsing does not work on a stream anymore, but on a whole 'file'. This gives up the real world optimisation of starting work on a partially downloaded file on slow network connections. Even fast internet connecti

I can't remember the first thing I did. It was one of two things. Either outsourcing paper routes to my mates. Or another one with a friend. A friend and I sold soft drinks to fishing people, then sold them fish at the end of the day whe

People who like quality often don't mind paying for quality. That's how to match up the audience with those types of producers. For example, a high end fashion blog would do well advertising high end fashion products. A mass market fashio

Pretty cool. Could do with some tweaking and polishing still though. Should be valid html. Back button is broken. There should be a home button top left. The colours need tweaking for contrast, and I'm guessing other accessability tweak

I wish I could block zedshaw from all of the internet. I wrote a web proxy once which cuts out adverts - I think I could extend it to block zedshaw too. But my proxy is old, and had bugs with some webservers. Maybe a zedblock plugin for f

The old 3d driver model relied on trust. If you ran a 3d program, you have probably installed it and you trust it. 3d program writers spend a lot of time fixing bugs to try and make sure their program does not crash users machines. I've b
