This would probably be the issue I have on my desktop then. For some reason, chrome thinks I have a touchscreen...

bob_george33 | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's your favorite keyboard for programming?
I have an old Mitsubishi Diamond Touch. To me it feels perfect for typing for long periods, and has media controls which are always needed.
bob_george33 | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's your speciality, and what's your "FizzBuzz" equivalent?
Not sysadmin specifically, but when I was working as a computer technician, questions we would ask to scope out the skills of people were along the lines of:
Q: "Something you have no experience with has broken and won't do a basic function, how will you go about fixing it?" A: Research, ask someone else etc.
Q: "X is missing their password for a system we have no admin rights on. How are you going to fix this?" A: Recovery Tools. Format device and set it up again. Use JS/Developer tools to get it in plain text from the browser.

bob_george33 | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: If you have had a FTTN broadband rollout, how is it?
I haven't experienced FTTH yet, but reports from people who do have it seem really good.
I have however worked supporting both FTTP and FTTH on a private network. In my experience, FTTH was so much simpler to diagnose. If there was an issue you would check the exchange, and their house. The Fiber converters we had where tiny compared to the ones NBNCo offers too.
The FTTN users where a lot harder to deal with. All the network equipment is still fairly young (under 10 years iirc), but we would still get cables from the pits that needed to be rerun. Our nodes supported 4 houses at most. Though most of them only had 1 or 2 users attached to them.
bob_george33 | 12 years ago | on: July startup sprint - who's with me?
I am up for this. I've been working on Admin Job Log (http://www.adminjoblog.com) on and off for just over a year now. Having someone else trying to get a product out would be great motivation.
bob_george33 | 13 years ago | on: Craigslist now asks for exclusive license when posting
Standard move I'd say. Stops people from making services that pull information from Craigslist and advertise it elsewhere.

Using Ternary Operators you can make a fizzbuzz program in 2 lines or less.
This post reminded me of them and it'll help me neaten up some of my code. Thanks!

Contingency Plan. All that comes to mind when I read this. Very nice writing and summarises the world it seems.

Currently only has one product on sale (SSD Tweaker), and the second (TrackIT) will come out once I finish the front end.

SaaS.
Friend of mine is making a living off of eCommerce.

So because data is not physical, I can not be sued for copying data?

I find musicForProgramming(); is good for when ever I'm using a computer or doing tech work. Otherwise I just throw on a radio for background noise.
