Hong Hong also has a growing startup community: http://www.hksua.com.hk/ And there's efforts in getting the communities in the two cities to better work together (such as the Web Wednesday groups).

As others have mentioned, visa requirements make this sort of travel impossible. It's a shame, too. If you're set on leaving the UK, you may want to consider other destinations. I'm currently living in Hong Kong and you shouldn't have too

Yeah, isn't 7-11 in Asia amazing ? Not only can you run your life through convenience stores, but they are ubiquitous. It's hard to walk two or three blocks without bumping into one.

My high school senior year English instructor required the same of all her students. No "to be" words in any assignments. I have to say, the lesson did improve my writing.

It's not like Mercurial is all that unpopular. Sun has switched its open source projects to hg. Mozilla is using it as well. All the subversion committers I know prefer hg over git as well.

Again, Sun makes more money from Java than people realize. Maybe not a huge amount, but licensing the embedded and mobile JVM still brings in revenue. This is why Sun put the JVM under the GPL the way it did, so it can continue to license

"Java, OpenOffice and MySQL are neat. Know anybody who's paid money for them?" Yes. Java still makes money for Sun for embedded and mobile devices. The licensing costs for a mobile JVM are reasons why you see the rather unique approaches

Apache has hundreds (1000+) of committers across it's 60 projects, all of which successfully use a single SVN repository (which is how subversion was designed to be used).

I have a hard enough time getting events up and started here in Hong Kong without putting every person thru a trial by fire. While perhaps Zed and friends intend on a friendly merit-based club, it still comes across as egotistical and hosti

Disqus doesn't provide any way for non-WP sites to import comments. That would make this sort of integration rather difficult. Personally, I'd really like to add disqus to my blog, but I'm not going to do that until I can preserve my exist

Google code. SF.net, while trying to make improvements, is hobbled with an old design. Google code is much better. And both use subversion. Interesting choice to GPL an Apache module, though.

6 hours on average. Lately, I've been staying up to 2-3 am and waking up between 8-9 am. I'd like to shift that an hour earlier, but it's been hard to break the habit. I never napped before, and generally don't like to, but I'm finding n

1) RailsSpace by Hartl and The Rails Way by Fernandez are the best books out there right now. 2) Right time, right place. Rails came out around the same time the second wave of web startups picked up. Also the argument is that Rails allows
