"I'm not convinced scalability in this case is such a hard problem.  Google have all the tech (Ganeti, spanner etc) , infrastructure (datacenters all over the world), and staff to handle this stuff.  Time and time again though these…"

I checked to see if my Google+ and Google Wallet accounts were properly set up as required for the…See More

Jar of Life

I recently read a lifehacking story circulating around facebook that definitely impacted me more than any tech blog or news article all year. You may have read about it; it’s about a philosophy professor and his lecture on the jar of life. There are many versions of it out there, so here is my mashed up version of it:The StoryThe professor stood before his class…See More
