The ZX Spectrum 48K was my first computer. I loved it to pieces but couldn't understand the manual as my English skills were not good enough at the time ( I was 10 living in Portugal ) so I used it mostly for playing games. It took me anoth

I have never used zmq, but while working in finance all the servers I worked on used a comercial messaging package to communicate with each other. It simplifies communication between processes running on the same or different machines by ab

ZX Spectrum in 1986, but couldn't understand the manual as my English was too poor when I was 11. Atari 800XL in 1988 where I started with Basic. Then C64 in 1990 with more Basic. A500 in 1991 and A1200 in 93 where I did Amos and 68000 Asm.

This is interesting. I previously though of buying through John Lewis because they offer a 2 year warranty on computing products. I wonder if this will harm them.

I agree. When I left my job as a games developer for a gig in the City my salary doubled. I had zero experience in financial software and about 5 years as a professional game developer. In that year I was the third developer leaving that

Digital Legends in Barcelona. I left in 2007 because I had to move to London for reasons unrelated to work. It was one of the best places I worked at. I cycled in at 10 am, worked until 13:00 then went to the gym for an hour and had lunch

I know that usually games_industry = low_pay * long_hours, but it doesn't have to be that way. I worked in a studio where this does not happen and their staff turnover is very low. Maybe because the managers were former developers and they
