Was that 80 days, full time, 8hr per day? (Congratulations on your efforts, BTW.)

I'm in agreement. I'm already 10x faster with HTML and CSS so it defeats the point switching to an abstraction language such as Haml or Sass.

It depends if this is based on working days or not. A month of working days is usually on average only 20 actual days.

Good blog post.

I used to get spammed to hell by recruiters until I:

1. Requested the removal of my details from their database. 2. Threatened to report them to the REC (UK-based recruitment organisation). 3. Threatened legal action, quoting relevant EU directives. 4. Named and shamed them on a blog post (or two). 5. Requested an apology from their managing director.

Seemed to work a treat.

One 'sorry' recruiter admitted that they generated an 'email blast' based on a keyboard search which was taken from data scraped from JobSite (or other similar job website) 1-2 years ago.

Judging by the number of people in shirts and ties there, I'd imagine a large proportion are in full-time employment and on the periphery of the startup scene.

The display is pager-sized.

I recommend shying away from things that are not in your comfort zone - or somehow progressing you.

For example, I was requested to quote for a project that had to use Joomla for a certain type of website (well, it was Facebook and a document management system). That was enough to ring alarm bells and steer away from it.

HPOA. 10-4.

Microsoft Project to manage high-level, multiple stakeholder timings.

Looks nice.

Advice is advice. You're free to take it or leave it.

Thanks to Dmitri (hi) for setting this up. Good event!

Sky+ in the UK. 160Gb. It's not the High Definition box either. It's managed to survive since 2006 but locks up nearly every day needing a hard reset to restore. Looking for alternatives.

I have an Aeron. I bought it from a now-defunct company for 20% of the original price. There should be plenty on eBay for less than retail.

I have another potential venue in mind for future London meetups. Interested?

Okay, that sounds cool.

Is this the best venue? I only ask since it usually appears to be a bit rowdy so unless there's a private room or quiet(er) area I don't know about, we may end up mixing it with the city boys and not being able to hear much. ;-)

Hope to attend.
