Crashing Safary on the new iPad

Interesting if somewhat very biased.

dotCloud is struggling as well ... Amazon US-EAST-1 out :P

Nice but unrealistic!

Living at sea full time even surrounded by bright, talented and driven peers comes with many challenges that a start-up probably does not need to deal with (not even addressing the cost issue).

My credentials for saying so: I am a "geek" and a Yachtmaster 200t Ocean Instructor who worked on yachts and sailed across 2 oceans.

On the other hand, using a yacht in a harbour in SF bay, with "crew" on a b1/b2 visa working on startups should be investigated (yet again boats are expensive :P).

same here (Manly)

A programming language is like a screw driver, the brand doesn't matter but what you do with it!

comm bank down under

indeed!

watch Fabrice Grinda at TedXParis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJK3_vpfoQc (in French) - implementing ideas taken from one country into another is what he does for a living.

python doctest in lisp

it never was anyway

what I am doing now with a tad more surfing :P

don't make me click the humane interface all of tufte books but beautiful evidence which I found disappointing

OVH

Entrevaux, France - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrevaux for something different. Old Vauban fortress in a small village in the southern alps of France.

Not sure I am in a position to give an ADVICE on the matter but the CHOICE I made for my free service is to roll in advertising and affiliation when I have something that add value to the user experience of the service. E.g. I love receiving Amazon's reading recommendations!

Fixed by doing a sudo dpkg -r opera then dpkg -i with a freshly downloaded .deb.

DragonFly not finished yet but worth a look ;)

I had to uninstall beta 2 to uprade to start with cause it wouldn't recognize 9.5 as a higher version than 9.5 beta 2. I stupidly did a sudo apt-get remove opera (instead of a dpkg -r opera).

I then installed opera_9.50.etch-qt3_i386.deb using GDebi, went well but DragonFly doesn't work (Opera does but not DF). Something is fucked up with the windowing. It worked "well" with beta 2 ...

My mistake, I love Opera and fucked up the installation :P

on ubuntu it doesn't work as well as the beta 2 (for me anyway)

I've played with MochiKit and jQuery. Like them both but have been doing more stuff with jQuery lately ... can't comment on the others :P Checked them out quickly and none appealed to me :P

budget + starting to learn => don't underestimate the second hand market

despite lusting for a MPB I recently acquired a hp nc4400 second hand which rocks when I am away from the desktop it runs Hardy and all the soft I need for my coding (and I am not starting to learn :P)

... and you get the feeling that your are doing something for the environment in the process (not that I'm a hardcore green or anything ;)

We use BZR for version control when we have a rep we arehappy to deploy

bzr push to a REP on the server login over ssh on the server bzr export REP run the test suite on the server (last check) cp relevant files to PROD restart the server (FastCGI)

everything automated and sequential one failure -> process stops completely (never happened so far)

twill so far ... selenium rc maybe soon

have you looked at what http://www.muchobene.com does?

web scrapping with beautiful soup (is this old school already?) - parsing the Sydney Future Exchange for data back in 2003 (still running)

sounds interesting ... should be tried ;)

"I think therefore I am" is not from Aristotle but Rene Descartes not a good way to start :P
