Reminds me of a video I came across last year about about landing the space shuttle and the complexities of it all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb4prVsXkZU

  Location: Phoenix, AZ
  Remote: negotiable
  Willing to relocate: yes
  Technologies: Mostly microsoft background, .net, c#, Azure, but have open source as well.
  Resume/CV: https://tinyurl.com/4mypuvwu

I come from an engineering background but have found my way into consulting the last decade working indy, joining a firm, having my own, and now working as a director in a large-ish consulting practice. I have 22 years of total experience in app modernization and custom built solutions. I'm less hands on these days but do enjoy crafting solutions and ensuring delivery success. I'm looking for something leadership-esque (maybe director or vp in industry) or to possibly partner on a new venture where I can do a little bit of everything.

Have you looked at Azure AD? Seems like it would do what you want if I'm understanding correctly

Looks like LizardSquad also called in a bomb threat on a flight carrying Sony's Online exec http://yro.slashdot.org/story/14/08/25/0530248/lizard-squad-...

I watched it live and it was very beginner oriented. If you know vim and are decently familiar with ReSharper then this isn't for you.

Yet, we still have no official word from Verizon. They announced the RAZR for tomorrow, but still nothing about the Nexus.

I wonder how pissed Samsung is

I'd like to be able to select more than just one of the "looking for" options. Maybe I'm looking for freelance work in addition to a co-founder with an idea, for example

What a great concept. For $3, I'm all over it. Great use of the multi touch features

Just wanted to add a note and say that my local rock radio station (in Phoenix) mentioned breakupnotifier.com today on the morning show. =)

So how is this web based? I have to install chrome and a plugin?

Looks good!

heffay | 15 years ago | on: Auto Scale your Heroku Apps with Hero Scale

Tried to add my Heroku account and got the typical rails 500 error:"We're sorry, but something went wrong."

EDIT: Refreshed and it seemed to work!

Great post, keep them coming

Hopefully he creates a blog post explaining the disaster. He seems to regularly update that site

heffay | 15 years ago | on: As Digg Struggles, VP Of Engineering Is Shown The Door

I'm really interested to see what comes of this and what went wrong. It sounds like (from reading his blog) they were making a lot of customizations to Cassandra?

heffay | 15 years ago | on: Buy 1 get 1 sale at O'Reilly. What are some good startup or tech-related books?

Guys, there is a checkbox under "Email Preferences" that allows you to be alerted when your tokens are about to expire! Great feature

Seemed odd to me too. That would have been one I skipped right over
