Web engineer - chillfire. Musings of a professional IT consultant, creativity without competition. Tuesday, July 05, 2011. Running a developer event – sponsors. 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! The email that went out was heavily focused on what I was trying to do, not on how much cash I needed, actually for most first contact emails I never a...

This is a reposnse to www.pcgamesn.com/article/why-i-m-uninstalling-windows-8. I started writing it as a comment to the looooong 'uninstalling windows 8' post, but it got a bit out of hand so here it is instead;.

Web engineer - chillfire. Musings of a professional IT consultant, creativity without competition. Thursday, December 12, 2013. 7 years and counting. In a moment of reflection, I have decided to look back on the last 7 years of being self-employed and take a look into the future. Why take on running your own business? The reasons why any of is take on the task of running our own business (or as people like to say 'being your own boss') is pretty wide. For me its not;. The freedom of working for myself.

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. On 24th November 2012, possibly the most productive single hack event started. I may be biased.
