ozchrisb··on Ask HN: How do I deal with the "unpaid overtime crowd"?
"A company that always wants me to work past 17.00 and expects me to come in on a Saturday, gives a very clear signal that they don't give a shit about me, the product or the team. They're hiring me to get paid."

ozchrisb··on Exploiting a Bug in Google's Glass
The thing we seem to be missing is what was Dan Morrel getting at when he thought they didn't get root? Di he think they just ran adb against the glass and figured out how to talk to it directly via the same calls the mirror api uses? Is there some easier way to "hack" Glass into doing interesting stuff?

ozchrisb··on Search 100 million UPC, EAN, ISBN, ASIN and MPN identifiers
I tried a box of Kleenx that's sitting on my desk and that worked, so there is something in there.
ozchrisb··on Search 100 million UPC, EAN, ISBN, ASIN and MPN identifiers
Doesn't work on "house brands" that use internal number schemes. For example 150480300036 is the UPC-A bar code from a Banana Republic T-shirt with a product id of 637905 but it doesn't exist in their database. Anyone know of somebody trying to deal with these kind of bar code issues?
