They may not come through when you think they will and even if they say they will, others though will come out of the wood work. But they will never find you first. But don’t let that put you off!

Web engineer - chillfire. Musings of a professional IT consultant, creativity without competition. Wednesday, June 22, 2011. These are not the mind waves you are looking for. A few weeks ago I was watching the ‘Best if the Gadget Show’ and one of the task they showed was how they controlled a gantry crane with nothing but the power of their minds. This was in my mind something straight out of the Sci-Fi shows I watched (and still do) as a kid. Out of the box. I did need a single AAA battery though. When ...

Web engineer - chillfire. Musings of a professional IT consultant, creativity without competition. Wednesday, November 28, 2012.
