schestowitzMinceR: dentedDec 26 14:16
schestowitzQuadrescence: I got an unofficial offer this week, but I think I'll carry on with it all while also starting the company we think about and keep my existing projects as a 'safety net' with assured income.Dec 26 14:16
schestowitzIn a consulting-type business there is no assurance of income, especially at the start. We ought to focus on scientific Free software, I think. I was coder at school, but also passionate about fields like mathematics and physics, which help explain many things except human behaviour.Dec 26 14:17
schestowitzI sense that the same goes for others in our group, which can't just address a very broad market like "installing Linux". We need to define very precisely what value one can offer in a company that helps companies save money with free/libre software.Dec 26 14:19
schestowitzSpeaking for myself, I have a respected software engineering degree, I am a software developer, and I work on projects in a specialise field where my research experience is essential. This in turn allows me to publish both papers and code (I ensure the code I produce does not depend on proprietary software and is itself free/libre software).Dec 26 14:20
schestowitzIf we can get contracted to work on projects in different areas and acquiring knowledge in each, applying some of it in others, then it's a productive experience that can lead to future projects. This also prevents over-specialisation (being multi-disciplinary is crucial for the "eggs in basket" reason) and makes it a lot more enjoyable and challenging.Dec 26 14:21
schestowitzQuadrescence: I'm eager to hear what others among the 4 of us think about it. Maybe early next year (week) we'll know a little better.Dec 26 14:21
schestowitzMinceR: someone today thought I was an "anarchist"Dec 26 14:24
schestowitzCause I said I support WikileaksDec 26 14:24
schestowitzHe was led to believe it was political gossipDec 26 14:25
MinceR:>Dec 26 14:25
schestowitzSo I told him it's a lot of corporate corruptionDec 26 14:25
schestowitzTHen he was like...Dec 26 14:25
schestowitz"But if you have kids.."Dec 26 14:25
schestowitzCause he's in his 40sDec 26 14:25
schestowitzBasically the type that advocates giving us some good causesDec 26 14:25
schestowitzThen he joked about me still using a PAlm ;-)Dec 26 14:26
schestowitzCause I told him PDAs are hard to get nowDec 26 14:26
MinceRluckyDec 26 14:26
oiaohmMy point of view is wikileaks would have nothing if the documents where secured correctly.Dec 26 14:26
MinceRmine bricked itselfDec 26 14:26
schestowitzI had to duct-tape mine yesterdayDec 26 14:26
oiaohmAnd there were not people with them who believed they would need releasing.Dec 26 14:26
schestowitzI dropped it and the bottom part is at risk of splittingDec 26 14:27
schestowitzThe Palm is good for what it's used for...Dec 26 14:27
schestowitzCalendaring, typing notes with external keyboardDec 26 14:27
schestowitzI don't use any of the other apps I installed it in around 2004/5Dec 26 14:28
oiaohmI am still looking for something small with a good full sized keyboard.Dec 26 14:30
oiaohmThat was something Palm got right early on.Dec 26 14:30
schestowitzI keep the Palm cause of the keyboardDec 26 14:32
schestowitzI think the keyboard is more valuable than the PDADec 26 14:32
schestowitzAnd if I had to get a new PDA it would not have universal connectorDec 26 14:32
schestowitzSo keyboard bin-worthy instantlyDec 26 14:32
schestowitzUntil you go on a plane and connect it to a keyboard people don't understand why it's better than touchscreen for inputDec 26 14:33
