First, what is being an Entrepreneur? heres my definition: Entrepreneur- an individual who comes up with an idea for change. Change is the keyword here, to be a successful entrepreneur you need to have an idea that is different, unique, ambitious and rewarding. Yes, i would consider myself to be an entrepreneur because i have so many ideas that are becoming reality slowly. I dont just sit down, open my marble notebook and write down thought after thought but i am coding ...
Dunno why I'm posting this one, but what the heck? One of the things I've been doing for several years now is being a moderator for this site. Occasionally, someone will join who is eager to join the ranks of moderators. Other times, we grow enough where we need to add one or two more members to our ranks. Regardless, there seems to be no awareness that being a good moderator and being a good member of the forum are completely different things. All of us joined this ...

In a display of self-importance I've decided to call these DarkLord's Laws. Though to be fair, these have probably been worked out by countless people before me, and they're not the kind of thing I would ...
It seems Microsoft's marketing strategies have been going steadily downhill. Here are some things I've noticed. 1. They can't put attractive people in their ads. If you look at a banner ad for an iPhone or Android, you'll probably see a hot girl holding a phone. Ads for Microsoft products tend to show homely people and/or people in business suits. This has the effect of 1) not attracting people's eyes, and 2) once again associating MS with office work. 2. ...
Duplicati is one of those small miracles that occurs once every millennium. I can already see people lining up to say "Eww it's a GUI", "You call yourself a programmer??" and "I use to use GUIs then I took an arrow to the knee" but to be honest it works, and it works well. I spent ages searching for some backup software that would connect to my server and do an incremental backup. I mean the other way round with servers SSHing into my laptop would be inconvenient (if ...
