At my Father’s bidding I just watched the first episode of All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace on BBC’s iplayer – a first for me – and found myself compelled to try and organise my thoughts. As a sometimes blogger, and at the risk of commoditising myself, it seems appropriate to do that [...]
I attempted to describe what being a Professional actually means to me in a recent conversation with my brother. I have to admit it started me examining the concept more closely.
One thing I’ve learned is that crashes are an obvious result of excessive leverage: people borrowing money so that they can take foolish risks. Well the stock market and banking sector has seen things unwind, but it’s not finished yet.
I’ve got a local copy of the Subversion repository under Git, so I thought I should talk about my workflow.
To start this series about teaming Git with Subversion, I need to create a local copy of the Subversion Repository.
I’ve had time to try Git with my remote Subversion repositories, using the git svn commands, and I wouldn’t go back. To start this small series, I’ll try to explain the enthusiasm.
Is growing a business always going to lead to disaster for your loyal customers?
I recently got into a discussion about networking around Northampton, and now we’re going to do something about it.
After a few informal projects, Conceptric is taking on a more business like persona. It’s becoming my freelance trading name, and as such needs a little reorganisation.
Long term investing requires commitment to both the current holding and the regular addition of new cash. But when to raise, hold or fold?
A spate of recent blog posts on Lifehack appear to be pushing paper as a new media for organise our lives. Could this remixing of an ancient media be the beginning of Paper2.0?
I’m a fan of Test-Driven Development because I enjoy the freedom that a comprehensive test suite provides: without it I tend to feel that I’m walking through a minefield.
Invest or trade, both have their place in a good strategy, but don’t get trapped in the middle.
I’m still not happy with the code coverage I can get even with SimpleTest fully integrated with CodeIgniter.
I’ve been looking back on the effects of the Credit Crisis on my investments. I’m going to write a series of posts on this topic, but first a little background.
I’ve just completed the first release of a website for a local artist, and plain old HTML seemed the best way to do it.
I don’t like the label “IT”. It’s just too vague in practice, and too focused in the minds of the public. What does the term mean to you?
Facebook confused me, an unacceptable position for a Web Developer, so I signed up for an account in order to explore and figure it out.
I’m frequently surprised by the number of organisations that could benefit from Web technologies, some have moved beyond the billboard website stage to including Internet retailing. Bringing the Social Internet inside your organisation can tap resources you may not have realised you had.
Since the earliest times humans have used technology, by making tools, to increase their own effectiveness and productivity. From flint flakes to microchips this process has remained unchanged, but as technology becomes more complex is there a limit to the rate of these gains?
