   I intellectually border on atheism, but also acknowledge we do not know everything. Additionally from my life's experiences and "heart" and "spiritual" yearnings I live theistically. The tensions of my belief rest i

   I think it could also be a potential for distraction that prevents you from even starting to begin with a productivity task. If you were in an open plan coffee shop things would be different as you don't expect someone to tap you on th

   I'm glad David's distaste for the industrial minded management culture Microsoft grew up and thrived in has brought to my attention the newer Microsoft with this ad. Microsoft is just scratching where it itches, our darlings Googl

    Would setting up a version control repository for the developer that you can access avoid the problem being held at ransom for the five star review?

    Assuming a Linux migration was on the cards, how would you go about supporting office excel spreadsheets with VBA code, VB6 Winform apps and intranet sites optimised for IE6?

    You're right about that. My background is MS since I started getting a real job in the late 90's. I'd like to be more hipsterish and start-up with open source, but with BizSpark and free Visual Studio and Azure and being able

    My startup friends and I here in Brisbane, Australia talk quite a bit about going to San Fran to "soak up the start-up vibe". I often joke about having the nerve to set up camp in a coffee shop there and whip out my Surface Pro, f

    I wish the same could be said about Australia. http://thingsboganslike.com/2010/02/15/85-residential-proper... There's a huge stigma against renters here.

    There's some of us here in Brisbane. There's just not as much as in Sydney to get that kind of press coverage I think.

    I don't think PCs are dying. I think computing consumption is increasing so desktop productivity looks like it is declining. I think when a dock for tablets or phone finally happens for consumers, they'll just get it. Desktop mode

    I don't blame Abbott, he is merely doing what LNP does best. We have better things to spend our money on than, like keeping the population white and burning lots of fossil fuels.

    I had similar motivations for leaving a startup a few years ago. Not because it was easy, the work was quite challenging, but I think more because of the lack of involvement with creative input for the products I was building. I was "j
