   I've had the fortune of meeting Karen, who wrote that blog piece, and know how frustrated she's been. I work with Magento everyday and what she says of a disparity between community and the enterprise agenda is ever so apparent. P

   I don't know if this is for everybody but I've found a love of Muay Thai. It's taken me away from the computer and almost feels like I'm 'levelling up'. +10 stamina +10 agility. The other things I'm trying

   Oh what a vicious cycle this is. As someone battling with depression, I tend to take on a lot of side projects and extra work in order to keep my mind busy and avoid those thoughts. Then I get stressed because I have so much to do.

   I see static site tools are still trending. I've used a variety of static site tools for play but never had a client opt for it. Probably the only static site I'm currently running is for my local Auckland CSS meetup and that&#x27

   I don't work in the public sector but I'm curious, how does one protect their browsing habits on a work computer? I see there are a lot of cases of personal computer usage. While browsing 'sexually explicit' material at

   I absolutely love this and thats coming from a "professional" web developer. I gave this to a client of mine to try for one of her personal projects and she was somewhat confused. After I pointed out the steps vs previews, she got

   They, being 1Blocker, have posted about this before. It's felt that The Deck is non-intrusive and therefore not something that needs blocking.

    We never had something nearly as elaborate as this but in Fiji, having anything more than dial up was considered a luxury. Portable Hard Drives weren't as common and USB sticks didn't store as much as they do now. It was all about

    This is pretty nifty. Of course the problem is I need to carry it everywhere and empty my drinks into it for it to really work. If I have to carry it everywhere, I have to make sure it's charged. So now before I go out in the morning I

    Yes. I've been burnt out for the last few months but it's only after my father's recent death I decided to take the leap and quit my job. It's not programming in general, it's the tight deadlines, last minute change

    Awesome! Just awesome. My late father was a huge C&C fan but his fondness for the series ended around the time of C&C Generals. I remember with Red Alert 2, they introduced killer dolphins and Giant Squids. The RA series just became

    I'm currently in a similar situation. I'm in New Zealand under a job search visa. I've been promised a full work visa so I'm sticking with it no matter how much I hate it. It's pretty hard finding a new job with my

    Oh it is. You'll start having constant neck and back pains. Maybe a nicer chair would help. The worst thing is falling asleep in the office with those damn fluorescent lights on. I'm glad I stopped doing that.

    Yea I guess not. I fall asleep watching videos. To this day it's very difficult for me to fall asleep unless there's some tv show playing in the background be it on an actual tv or a computer monitor.
