I use Alpine for the VM at the heart of my GPL WordPress tool InstantWP ( https://www.instantwp.com ). I spent six months reviewing all the smaller distributions of Linux until I f…

I am sorry but that doing experiments like this on a living, breathing primate is sick. Surely there is somebody working on a way to develop mind-computer interfaces that doesn't r…

Perhaps you may feel I am defending the indefensible here... But MS Access is actually a great tool for analysing data. It will import in CSV files, spreadsheets or even data from …

I think that intellectual, analytic types sometimes underestimate what human intuition is capable of. Carl Jung defined intuition as "perception via the unconscious" (CF http://en.…

My Dad is a classic car enthusiast. He will quite happily talk to his fellow classic car enthusiasts about the obscurities of 1970's carburetors for hours. But who else would want …

Seriously people, use Gandi... https://www.gandi.net/ They are so far removed from the kind of bullshit that I hear from other registrars I forget how bad some of them actually are…

Yes another piece of evidence to backup my nascent opinion that there is very little to admire in Steve Jobs.

Hah! As someone who is nearing their forties I find this Silicon Value obsession with youth quite interesting. I live in Ireland and I have never even been in the States, so my opi…

Perhaps there is an other way to come at this? I am working on side project of my own. I am evaluating some of the various Smalltalk implementations for writing this. Smalltalk has…

Yeah. Real OCD is no joke. It is a terrible illness. And I don't get angry over bad formatting either :)

Looks like a tesseract - the four-dimensional analog of the cube: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract

Crows have the same level of Encephalization Quotient (measure of brain size to body size) as many of the more intelligent mammalian species. They too have complex emotional and so…

I had that problem myself. I have a deep respect for Buddhism but I wanted to practice something where I could completely appreciate the history and meaning of the movement without…

As a fellow Paddy, I salute you. Looking forward to the service being available in Ireland.

Here here. I have worked in places where they had a bog standard waterfall development process but used agile buzz-words like 'story'. The result? Can you imagine a cross between a…

How about cringeworthy? Def: Causing feelings of embarrassment or awkwardness I could feel my toes curling at certain points. Funny, but not perhaps what was intended...

Some of the comments seem to revolve around the confusion of maps with territory - CF Lewis Carroll's map "the scale of a mile to the mile" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map%E2%80…

How about Runtime Revolutions LiveCode? I have been a fan for years - never used the mobile version but they are a great little company and their other products rock. LiveCode is a…

OK - I'll bite :) Could you qualify why you think it is easy to get 100,000 pageviews a month? I am intrigued.

I love you (in a rational ironic way)

Lets make a huge distinction between a people (The American People) and a political power structure (The USA). Look at the Irish people (generally a decent lot) and the Irish State…

Whoops! Well spotted. Somebody committed a political faux pas there. All these wet rainy island nations in the North Atlantic tend to blur together obviously... It is interesting f…

Jeese - this is a tough crowd. I can think of several Irish businesses that I have worked for that would grab this guy straight away to train him. He may not be the worlds greatest…
