Being in the market for some healthier foods, I happened across a Gumtree ad: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/camberwell/miscellaneous-goods/probiotic-starters-kombucha-water-kefir-milk-kefir-melb-p-u-/1038097067 Now, that’s likely to go stale, but you can still reach the lovely lady behind that here: http://www.bbdfran.com/contact-bbdfran/ Or email her here: bbdfran@gmail.com She’s got a wonderful knowledge of kefir and kombucha, and I can’t help but gush at the… Continue reading Kefir, Kombucha, and a Fantastic Lady to Get it from in Melbourne

Would you want to store your data with a company that has no choice but to bend over for the NSA? http://www.businessinsider.com/prism-the-nsa-leaks-are-starting-to-hit-the-bottom-lines-of-tech-companies-2013-8?IR=T A separate report this month by the Information Technology &… Continue reading NSA Killing Business for Cloud Providers
Consumers Are Not Job Creators
It’s rather annoying to hear the worst nonsense constantly paraded around like some kind of eternal truth. That “consumers are job creators” is some of that drivel. It only takes a moment to understand why. I, along with billions of other people, am a consumer. I want a time machine. So do a lot of… Continue reading Consumers Are Not Job Creators

Creating Urgency for Sales with Infralution Licensing System
I need to create a large number of “products” for Photo Resizer, but they’re really all just the same product with different prices. And not 2 or 3 prices, but more like 20 or 30 prices.

Why Developers Need to Squeeze Software for Ca$h
Everybody talks about Google, Microsoft, Apple, Angry Birds, Twitter, Facebook, and a handful of other software companies and applications, but they are not representative of the majority of software companies or authors. And the amount of money they make isn’t representative either. Few developers ever make the gobs of money that you see in TV… Continue reading Why Developers Need to Squeeze Software for Ca$h
