Quora: I'm about to quit my job to learn to... →

The top answer is inspiring. I worked in a coal mine for several years (deep shaft mines). Everyday I lived in danger, for all those years. Then, I decided I had enough of it and wanted to do something else (no future in coal mining). I was also quite young with no obligations, just like you. The government gave us money to leave the mines so I took the offer (about $2,500 - that was a...

UMLet - UML diagrams saved in simple XML+plain... →

Now that I’m on the topic of UML diagrams I want to talk about UMLet which I discovered recently. We have grown tired of bloated applications with their proprietary formats which only they can open.

yUML: UML diagrams in plain text! →

I’m a huge fan of UML diagrams. I like visualizing stuff so drawing a quick class, use case or activity diagram helps me get my ideas straight when working on a project. Most UML tools out there are too expensive, crappy and/or bloated. While Google-ing around for UML tools I came across yUML which is a very awesome tool which lets you create UML diagrams in plain text and embed them in...

Last week I started getting into unit testing in MacRuby for a project I’ve been...

The Importance Of Physical Space →

If you want to compete in a global marketplace it really helps to be near a downtown. Companies that are near the geographic center of their industry are more productive. Year by year, workers in cities see their wages grow faster than workers outside of cities because their skills grow faster. Inventors disproportionately cite ideas from others who live physically close to them. Another...
