Alex, that's why I never use Seek to look/advertise jobs for anything tech related.

His name is 'milkman', after all.

I would suggest patience insofar as he can collect his thoughts to focus enough on the sitatuion at hand without getting bitter, and execute a plan with cold ruthlessness. Whether he likes it or not, his employee is now an adversary, and hi

Also, consult with a lawyer before doing anything (that should go without saying), but do it quick and your goal should be getting him out of there as fast as possible.

Fire him. However, how you handle it is of the utmost importance. The truth is, not only will you not be able to work with him, but once it gets out to the company, everyone else will begin asking, "Why hasn't he been fired?". If you avoi

Agreed, I really liked where it was going.

I can vouch for the persistence of Eiso (hi Eiso!), as I remember doing work for Tyba more than a number of years ago, when it was something he was coding on the side. Glad to see it has progressed to such a level.

What work did you end up doing, and what work did you come from?

I saw the link to Airbrake on that announcement, and Airbrake is showing the AWS Beanstalk PHP Application page, with appropriate details of the PHP installation.

I think you mean 'without the overhead of a sysadmin'... but thank you, I've been looking for a curt explanation as to when App Engine is a good choice, and you've explained it better than I ever could.

I'm a fan of the telescopic mouseover effect, and the abundance of blue/purple. I was expecting it be an aesthetic clone, but you guys have done a nice job.

Not for all things. I presume no-one wants a hiking bag with zips that come undone, nor a wallet that deforms. I would also rather let someone do that work for me, if they feel so inclined to do it, as I have neither the time nor the money

Brian Aldiss referenced a similar kind of system in his Helliconia science fiction trilogy, where a planet orbited a small sun, which in turn orbited a much larger sun in a much longer orbit. Ironically, truth turns out to be stranger than

This is assuming the product you are developing is a consumer product with the intetion of marketing through an app store of some kind. There are plenty of app markets for which an app store is only a method of distribution (the only one, r

Indeed, I just read that, so I will follow up further. Is this predicated on feedback you've received or more on what the board feels is appropriate?

A question, out of curiosity and not hostile in any way: what's wrong with the current one?

All the companies I know, from local dev shops to funded startups to public behemoths, are hurting for good hackers. Even though there may be too many companies not doing things worthy of hackers, why aren't worthy hackers gravitating towa

I'm well aware of Lady Gaga's songwriting ability and talent as a piano player. However, the Gaga persona seems to be her of her own creation, and I'm quite sure that at least for her first album, she wrote most of her own material. I'm no

I'm all for finding the "best musicians in the world", but what really shits me about Idol and similar shows is that they find technically brilliant singers, but they can't write a song if their life depended on it. The same with many bril

Don't forget, with digital radio, we now have JJJ Unearthed as a radio station. For the unenlightened, that's the best of Australia's unsigned bands getting played on the radio.

Paul from No Prisoners. I think I might've talked to you about Lua scripting at some point, since I think that's what you might've been doing. We were the iPhone peeps. EDIT: Wait, we moved out at the end of July 2010, so I must be thinkin

Adelaide is too small. Worked at Tomorrow Studios with Dom (Intelligent Software) and took Matthew's (Solve IT) Innovate SA course (which is superb btw).

It's just more incompetent. That's what happens when evil genius moves aside, and the henchmen take over.

I read this years ago, but Monsanto's genetically modified corn seeds had something they referred to as a "terminator" gene, which is what made the genetically modified plants single generation. However, when natural plants were pollinated

1. Suicide. Everyone responded as they should. But if you meant it, this post wouldn't exist because you'd be hanging from a rafter right now. Just a thought. 2. Your job sucked. Quitting was right. 3. Admit failure at freelancing. Bui

The CEO of which region of Sony? I don't expect an apology is coming from the American or European regions anytime soon. At least the Japanese region's reaction jibes with the Japanese way of doing business.

Congratulations, this is how it should be. I run a business and have managed to hire people who come in late, leave at the regular time and still get more than enough done. I mostly work weekends, but I'm a masochist. I don't wish it on
