We hid the bodies.

An article on PicoBusiness highlights Six Questions the Interviewer Wants To Know. If thinking of hiring someone, I guess they are a darned good place to start without going on nonsense soft skill courses on how to be an effective employer. In my day job, we've hired people and sometimes they ...

just getting settled here….

So, here we are in our new home with all of it's AJAXy goodness and ripe, succulent ruby-ness as well. Cool. We'll catch up with some content soon enough. Just say Hi if you've just joined us.

It’s been fun but the time has come…

....to bring down the final curtain... Well, not quite. We're MOVING. Aidan has configured up a copy of Typo (because he's become a fully certified cult-member of the Cult of Ruby. Ruby, I hear, is one of the Great Old Ones, descended from the Elder God SmallTalk... Anyway. We're moving. Update. Update. Update. http://blog.infurious.com/

Blog software switch

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

As mentioned earlier, we have switched blog software (from b2evolution to typo). We've also moved the URL from http://infurious.com/blogs/ to http://blog.infurious.com - this is because blog.infurious.com lives on a server under our control so we can run our choice of software there. The old blog page will remain, but de-activated, ...

Lack of Ruby blog software

I can't seem to find any decent ruby blogging software. I got fed up reading the explanation of Hobix (read it, go on - it's annoying), and everything else doesn't seem to support the things I want supported (mulitple users and an XML-RPC interface like one of the major ...

2006 is already 25% over. Would you like to try again?

Tuesday, April 4th, 2006

You can tell I'm peripherally involved in motivation issues at my day job by the recent blogs posts eh? A blog I read I WIll Teach You To Be Rich has a great article today. 2006 is already 25% over. Around mid-February, people start to forget their New Year's resolutions, or they start ...

Tuesday, April 4th, 2006

Regardless of how many people you have in your team, and how experienced they are, there is always a trade-off to be made between productivity and increasing production capacity. In my case this is a balance between my desire to produce a working product (SyncBridge at the moment) and ...

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. - Anatole France

Monday, April 3rd, 2006

Damien Mulley, who does something-or-other for a living has a great, if succinct, posting about how following your dreams is probably a good thing. I riposte with an equally pithy quip in the form of a series of questions. What are the three most important things in your life? Are you doing something ...

Minor milestone

Monday, April 3rd, 2006

I reached a small turning point with the SyncBridge code tonight. There are no more features to be added for the 1.0 release, i.e. it's "feature complete" (which is a crappy waterfall software development term meaning the development team is about to be bombarded with bug reports from the ...
