There's nothing wrong with "finding muses" to support yourself. For all we know, Kreci already has an amazing and interesting project he's working on, but it takes small android apps to fuel him time to work on it.

What do you use for backups? searching for "backup" and "time machine" and "rsync" only reveals 3 results total.

yeah, he motivated me to get a thinkpad over a macbook at the time. That said, i'm getting tired of my T500 already. I don't see myself really needing expresscard as much as I was bent on it. Overall, I've learned that ergonomics matters at

Totally agree, this has made me cry working on any app that has been sustained for years. This is why I think for any "graphical" language approach to be adopted by seasoned programmers should be fully keyboard accessible (think vim, but yo

I've been thinking a lot about this, since I have needed to use LabView at my job the past few years. While I hate labview for the sake of writing applications that need to be continuously refactored and scaled, it's immensely useful for no

Is it possible for developers to see this merely as microsoft positioning everything to be more like apple? I'm seeking some validation if the following is now true: wpf ~~ cocoa (for mac) silverlight ~~ cocoa touch html5 (formerly SL when

As much as I hate advertising everywhere, you bring a fair point. Logos can easily be an indicator of place and time for a recordings. The above is also why I can't stand how many blogs these days don't put a publish date anywhere, for the

My problem with Microsoft Research is that it seems like you would work in a vacuum. I like making things people can easily decide whether they're good too, not deal with marketing dept. red tape to deliver. When I think Microsoft Research

True, It'd be hard to be motivated on 35k/year to lead a project. But I'd consider it IF I'd be getting great training/materials in cutting-edge skills (ruby, html5, etc.) to make up for the low pay, AND got exposed to a good network of fol

I use a swopper chair at home, and at work I stick a bunch of reams of paper under my monitors to make sure they stay up. Next on my home list is to buy either a laptop stand or get a good monitor+stand.
