Repping the UK Scene

Bob — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:19:17 +0000

I've just returned to the UK after a week in Silicon Valley at a Microsoft event. The event was called SocialFest 2010, and was a competition designed to show the new capabilities of Sharpeoint 2010. 7 teams from around the world were invited to take part, and to produce a solution atop Sharepoint 2010. After a week of 14 hour days, more sugar and caffeine than is strictly healthy, one trip to the emergency room, and a metric ton of tobacco, we came out on top and brought home the silverware.

Rob — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:30:07 +0000

One thing that really tired me in the past with build scripts was repetition. I may have several apps each with their own build script and for each one I would have to specify to compile it, tokenise any configs for other environments, run the unit test projects and code coverage, generate the same directories [...]

P is for Productivity

Laurika — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 09:58:43 +0000

My job requires me to do a lot of research. For most projects I need to do background reading or search for a company or person that has expertise in the area I’m writing about. However it shames me to say that I end up trawling through sites for hours under the guise of doing [...]

Plan your day

Jaan Orvet — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 08:30:06 +0000

We have all worked with people who seem to never really know what they are supposed to do that day. A lot of daily hair pulling, searching for not-really-sure, and even a spot of whining are the hallmarks of Mr or Ms Unorganized-Unfocused. Useless, they are. It is because they don’t know how to prep. To do [...]
