bart42_0··on Twilight Zone meets Escher meets Dali in the philosophical comic strip ‘the bus’
I hadn't heard from him either, they are very nice. You have to read each comic two or three times before you get it. Thanks. Reminds me a bit of the Spanish photograper Chema Madoz http://www.chemamadoz.com/a.html
bart42_0··on Working Remotely From A Tropical Island In Thailand
No, you can't force. But you can put a team close together, they don't have to work more than 8hrs/day. But if they meet on weekends, on trips, bbq's, there wil be shoptalk. That is good for the project. In most cases. I used to work for an 'offshore pipeline desig company' hard work, drinks on friday evening, family BBQ on Saturday. Lots of fun, and everybody was ALWAYS talking about kids, dogs and work.

Noooo, then you should hop over to Barcelona/Madrid.
bart42_0··on Working Remotely From A Tropical Island In Thailand
Ok, clear.

It can be a great way to run project in a lovely pressure cooker. Everybody 7days per week involved/committed without the distraction of homely nuisances.

I'm very interested in your camper-van-blogpost

And Mauritius is great!

It sounds and looks very nice. I have two questions:

1) Why did't they move to one of the Canary Islands? Part of Spain, Barcelona is a part of it. Less hassle because you stay in Europe, same language, same culture as in Barcelona. I rent a flat (70m2, furnished, 500m from the palmtree-beach, €500 /month), in the center of the capital on one of the islands, the internet connection is reasonable. Sounds comparable to Thailand.

2) How long did they stay in Thailand, was it a 2 month project-move or a multiple-year company move?

In Spain they don't threaten to arrest you for taking photos of cops, they arrest you immediately without any warning.
bart42_0··on Chuck Moore: Programming a 144-computer Chip to Minimize Power [video]
I completely agree on Chuck Moore being one of the computing heroes of the last 4 decades or so. As far as I can see it, he (or Forth or GreenArrays) needs proper communication/marketing/lobbying staff that ensures that his ideas are being understood by the politicians, decision makers and investors.

Power consumption and processors has always been an issue, they get to warm and need cooling, server parks consume huge amounts of energy, batteries wear out to quickly etc... Wouldn't it be nice if the surface of a tablet (I am talking about 2015-2020) contained a 10" solar panel, and the processors inside the tablet would need only the energy provided by this solar panel? that would be a nice start.

You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.

Clicking on 'delete' with the user table selected was not very wise. The software maybe even asked 'Are you sure?' and of course you reply 'yes'.

But operating your company with proper recovery tools is a bit like climbing Mount everest without a rope.

If something goes wrong you are in deep sh.t.
