About dLuna

Software hacker based in London. Functional programming geek with a focus on distribution, fault tolerance, finance, and cool stuff. Started to like things like book keeping and business studies when I realised that its basically numbers, and numbers are fun.

Language agnostic in theory. In practice choosing English and Erlang.

Serial startup worker. Not yet started my own. Interested in opportunities in both. Will travel.

    Am I the only one who wants to mount a nerf gun on a squad of these and then play war in the back yard?

    We actually do live in a society where the super rich have nothing to do that live idly. Earth has never had as few people controlling as much money/power as we have at the moment.…

    I would guess that it's because of the Verizon deal. Skype probably had to promise to make it only work for them.

    I'm a geek and I've always belonged to the late majority when it comes to new technology. Within my area of expertise (programming) I'm at the frontier, but outside of that area I …

    I think that the code challenge was mostly aimed at students, where the time spent writing something semi cool is not just wasted time. Having been on the hiring side for software …

    When this goes into large scale production I'll be interested in buying one. The concept is really cool. I don't care so much about the "even in sunlight" part, but rather the low …

    I'd still say you need to book at least 30 minutes. If your staff don't want/need more than 2 minutes, then fine. The important thing is telling them "this time slot I'm all yours"…

    I've had problems with my moderncv based CV. Some companies want the CV to be in DOC. On the one hand I could just say that I don't want to work in such a company, but when it's th…

    This is only a problem if you believe that there is a limit to opportunities. There's always another opportunity around the corner that you haven't seen yet. And sometimes you have…

    How is this different from how it is in the west? Work hard to pay off the house (or to save to buy a house), an economical crisis that doesn't seem to end no matter the company pr…

    This is not true for all countries. In Sweden you get kicked out with no PhD if you haven't finished in eight years. And that is clock years. (You can get on or two extra years for…

    These are the billable hours. I would guess that the time spent finding good clients is about the same again. So make that $150/hour. Still good, but in the same range as a technic…

    Thanks! This tool is such an easy thing, and still extremely useful. Will use it for my own domain searches in the future.
