I live in Berlin and have just walked to work - I love it (even on a rainy day like today) - time to think. Whilst Berlin is spread out I have found that you normally stick to your…

Think you're over egging the pudding there. Was simply responding to the question "Ireland won anything lately?"

The Rugby on Sunday. They were looking very good actually, might be a dark horse for the Six Nations.

Slightly off topic, but has anyone read "Grace Hopper and the Invention of the Information Age"[1]? It's been on my wishlist for ages, but I've not got round to buying/reading it y…

Thanks for the info. We haven't hit near that number yet, we mainly use it for the autoresponder stuff and some simple mailings to a few hundered addresses.

I use Sendy[0] for this very reason. It uses Amazon's SES and whilst it isn't as feature full as Mailchimp it does the job, costs about $60. Note, I'm not affiliated in any way I j…

Masters of Doom is a fantastic book, really enjoyed reading that. From that I then also read the Making of the Prince of Persia[1]. This is Jordan Mechner's journal from his time d…

Yes, it is a bit strange. I'm a native speaker and I would have said "in a single PHP file" too.

Are the three videos running at the same speed? Or are they constantly adjusted so they keep up with each other so we can see more clearly any changes in landscape? I can actually …

Many thanks for the link.

Well, if it works for nuclear?! Bonkers.

But then you look at Egypt. It once seemed so hopeful and now it appears to descending ever more into violence and civil war. What's to say that even if they do have fair elections…

Yesterday my wife and I were discussing the UK vote on intervening in Syria. It is such a horrible plight for people trapped in the middle of this, that both options of going in or…

This sounds spot on for what I'm after. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses. Thanks for the link to the other vids, will check them out.

Regarding target audience, I think if the screencasts were "emacs for beginners and elisp for beginners" it would be too much and there would be no real audience: people who are st…

I read quite a good interview with Chicken Scheme's author a few months ago. Here's the link which might be of interest: http://spin.atomicobject.com/2013/05/02/chicken-scheme-part…

Here is the book[1] that goes with that documentary. It is a really good read and not too technical at all. [1] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fermats-Last-Theorem-confounded-grea... Edit…

But talking to customers is exactly what these guys did: > So we talked to a few artists who said they thought it was a cool idea. BOOM! Our idea had been validated! The idea had n…

I am probably not making myself clear > Is it because i drew the wrong crowd? Is it because they don't know me? is it because adwords conversions are usually very low so do i need …

You can learn a lot from this. Firstly you can learn how other people describe the type of product you are offering - not necessarily how you describe it. With Adwords you'll see t…

My mother always used to tell me "only boring people get bored". Now with a small child and business to run, some days I would love to be bored and have nothing to do!

Not to take this thread off topic but I've also been getting into the fascinating history of computers. I've almost finished the book Code by Charles Petzold and it was like a ligh…

Actually, we are possibly expecting another (it's a bit too early to officially announce) and my wife has suggested Haskell if it was a boy! (as guard-of-terra says below, it is th…

It's not really an issue, but I have had a number of people know me, know I'm a bit of a dweeb and clock it, normally with an eye-roll. (I personally actually like her being called…
