I always liked how the Japanese apologised. There is no excuse as its irrelevant, all you get is an apology, compensation and how/why it wont occur again. Not sure if that was an industry specific thing but it sure was effective.

Things like this should be formalised though. Its very unusual for a spouse to prance around any organisation handing out directives/advice. Maybe its a sign that the founder in question doesn't have the people skills to handle he

Mopidy is also used in PIMusic Box - a Raspberry Pi based music player. http://www.woutervanwijk.nl/pimusicbox/ I use it to stream my Google Music playlists... out via a USB DAC to Onkyo amp etc. Works a treat.

Currently on an offline machine I cannot use VS 2013, I get a modal with the only option being "Exit Visual Studio". Last time I used VS was 22/12/2013. This is really fucked IMHO.

I wanted to try Rackspace but needed more than a single IP and couldn't wait for their approval process. This is where AWS shines...
