Here's an anecdote: I'm a one man shop who has been planning, developing and deploying Django applications for six years. I have not got to the point where my deploys are automated because I am swamped with work just keeping my cl

I thought this was a way of indicating direction when you know the orientation of the person you are talking to? Not sure if it has much to do with time per se.

There’s a fruit called seetafel (custard apple) that sounds very similar to this. It’s amazing!

What's your gmail migration strategy? My primary email is hosted @gmail.com -- and I need a reliable way to transition this to my own domain on a trusted (and 3rd world priced) provider.

If the browser gets slow due to extensions, offer a "cleanup" feature that benchmarks extensions and calls out offending players. Instead of that, they're disallowing ad-blocking. Not suspicious at all from a company that mak

I also began as an amateur magician but mostly remained there. Never did more than a few impromptu shows for friends and family. Often, I compare magic to programming. It’s all about the “effect” and wowing people with something they did no

I was the biggest Google fan ever. I recommended all their products to everyone I know. Gone are those days. I now trust Microsoft (heh! M!cr0$0ft, anyone?) more than Google which is strange given I grew up rebelling against MS’s technical

Replying to myself, I accepted what Vultr had to say and killed the server. Wasn’t really worth me investigating too deeply and I took them on their word. I did the default Streisand install with all services, and disabled password based lo

Can’t say that comparing the appalling conditions in bird factories with a life lived in the wild really compares here. At least wild birds get to make a go of it, the factory birds never had a chance. Some of them are too fat to even walk

Lots of people seem to derive value from Github, especially the social aspects and the exposure it gives to your project. That said, I'd love a decentralised alternative based on IPFS or somesuch. There's probably something out th

Here’s a story: landed in Schipol (AMS) from Berlin with a good friend of mine. Jumped on a train and was half asleep when the train rolled in to the station just before Amsterdam proper. I forget the name. Just as he train was about to pul

Broken on Debian stable due to a sandbox issue not solved for many months. Not willing to compromise security to run Brave which it seemed the workaround at the time did.
