02/10/11--12:30: Share your love – Flattr someone (chan 2103947)

In my signing-up frenzy a couple of weeks ago (I have one of those once every quarter just about) I signed up for Flattr, who are running a rather interesting concept.

02/11/11--02:00: Project/Team/Collaboration tools? (chan 2103947)

I need to find tools for project/team work that does the follwing: * Handles source code (integration), with version control (.svn, .git, .vss etc) o It would be really nice if it handled creative assets too (.gif, .jpg, .png, .psd, .fla etc) * Has task/bug tracking.

Preferably connected with task/bug tracking. o It would be really good if it was adaptable to various project methodologies (and/or not dependent on a single specific one). * It would be really nice if it had some type of messageboard or similar * It would be really nice if it had some type of Wiki or other way of creating/storing project related documentation that is not source code (.xls, .doc, .ppt etc)

don’t touch me, segway by Torley There are a couple of things (well, 4-5 actually) I have been making into habits over the years when it comes to my work life, so I thought I might just as well share them with others here, as they should be generic enough for any working person, regardless [...]

20101210-NodeXL-Twitter-pdfleaks by Marc_Smith In 2009 I read an excellent article in Wired where journalist Evan Ratliff tried to “vanish” and stay hidden for a month. In case you haven’t read it I really recommend you do, you can find the article over here. In short he offered $5.000 of his own money to whoever found [...]
