A Great Virtual Assistant!

Today I wanted to thank one of my suppliers: Virtual Assistant Service PH.

It was a breeze to work with them, of course I'm also details oriented and thus I provide detailed documents to do the work.

For me, they converted an entire website in less than a week. Nearly 400 pages of data! That was fantastic since I definitively do not have time to do such a thing and plus I am not affordable for that kind of work. So having such an assistant was wonderful.

Maybe they will save your day too!

A new kind of memory!

Researchers are always testing new methods to enhance computers. These days, as presented in the Physical Review Letters (Dec 29, 2008), people have been working on phonons. These are heat particules.

AJAX, CSS, HTML, XML, SOAP, LAMP… and now Web 2.0?

Dear reader,

Yes. With all these terms, it is quite easy to get lost.

As a developer, my skills are quite extensive. I started with Logo, learned assembly language, BASIC, C, C++… and all these other languages in between, those that most people pass by such as Ada, Eiffel, Icon… And the languages you kind of have to learn because you’re in it: Bourne Shell, configuration files for 100 different software, Makefile, etc.

And once you know all of these languages, you think you’re done. Well… Not quite!

The web has got it’s own set of languages! It

Is the Open Source costing us money?

Alexis Wilke — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 05:13:00 +0000

More and more, enterprises make use of Open Source software. Why is this a good idea for your company as well?

Many people are scared to do the move. The result is very costly. When you use proprietary software, each time you need an upgrade, you need to pay for it. And in most cases, it is not just once, but a number of times equal to the number of computers you own or the number of staff that use the software. A $200 software may sound really cheap. But if you have 1000 staff, it makes it $200,000.
