This doesn't look like a CVE based on this. To execute this you'd have to post in the class file, deserialise and then exec. All of this takes explicit additional code. This looks to be the same as any other language where you

I haven't found that. I've moved back about a year ago and found despite being less that syd/canberra it's still pretty solid, even with the financial climate. There's a few startups dotted round and some now big ones as well mincom, tech1

I'm also in Brisbane (moved back from canberra) and it does seem more service orientated, hence consulting/corporate/mining, however it's the same anywhere. Most great jobs aren't advertised and you get them through doing great work and bu

It's been my experience that once you have dev you don't go back. I was lead engineer for a pretty complex technical product that needed strong technical testing and money wouldn't win. I think it's part perception. I have seen using som

I was the same (although got to see the acquisition from the inside which was pretty interesting), we were in Aus though which meant we had comparatively high degree of independence, ie all our dev platforms, code tools were hosted locally.

That sounds great. As a tech founder that's the thing I'm working through. There's a few good sources but very little that says, for tech with std tech structures you probably want to do it this way.

One thing that would be really good to see come out of this IMHO is a better profile for tech startups in Aus. The more open this can be around tech scene, gotchas and contacts focussed on Australia the better. Most information and discuss

Good to see the Australian tech sector has some life. The thing I found most interesting was that they bootstrapped off their credit card.

I guess what I was trying to point out is that they're not the crazy greens social enviro anarchist party that you'd tend to think of if you heard of the 'greens' for the first time (generally). They're 'closer' but I agree I wouldn't cons

As someone just getting started with my own small tech company I find this quite alarming. I particularly find the technical cluelessness of senator Conroy the most disturbing thing. With technical absolutes that the filter will be ineffe

Yep good point RC refused classification is typically anything above R. So for example a porn store owner was just jailed for selling gay porn http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/stories/s2927840.htm . RC != childporn and is quite broad, so

Australia's heading to an election later this year and with the series of missteps by the Rudd/Labor camp (mining tax, education revolution, dodgy insulation implementation) it's likely that the greens will hold the balance of power in the

Depends on who you expect to consume it I think. If you're going to have enterprisey folks use it then they're most likely going to want SOAP etc, if you expect it to be used in service orchestration ...... then the people with that kind o

Yep, but this is true for RSS and most news sites generally as well IMHO. You see it, read it and then unless someone reposts it, it's gone forever. I use delicious to tag that I've liked it and then can search, but it doesn't search cont

I would wager it's probably Sydney, but then again I don't think any Australian town is the clear winner. Canberra had a lot of enterprise focussed software startups which didn't get much notice; but I think compared to the US equivalents,

Brisbane, hi! Recently moved to Brisbane from Canberra and starting knowtu. Looking at ilab and will make it to opencoffee sometime. Are there any good Brisbane entrepreneurship/tech groups someone could recommend? HN meetup?

thanks ;) I would have preferred; stop, collaborate and listen but had a feeling this had been used before.

1) Full time 3 weeks ;), thinking and planning, 3 years 2) No - YC isn't for me. Think bootstrapping is probably the better model, particularly for an Australian based company. 3) No - self financed. 3) http://knowtu.com

knowtu - tricky concurrency and indexing problems. Still fun though ;)

I'm a sucker for Irish or Scottish breakfast. Generally I like the black teas which have higher caffeine. Tea to me seems to be less abrasive than the sugary high caffeine drinks but just as effective ;)

The UM change just seemed like revenue raising to me. The whole funding model of universities in aus now means you get funded on the number degrees granted and bums in seats. It seems like a way to game the system by lowering the quality b

I liked it, here I was slurping my Irish breakfast tea and it struck an immediate cord ;) I second the affiliate wisdom. All teas are not created equally, so one of things that is important to me as a tea drinker is sourcing good teas, as p

I'm in a similar situation. I think ultimately show don't tell is the most important adage. I introduced a wiki (mediawiki) where I work and it's been great. At some point when things grow you have to start communicating things and the w

Here's a recommendation on what not to use, Ace Project. Too much clickety clickety click.

Yep mediawiki is great, exports xml. We integrated this into madcap flare and our build. Published (goes to customers) chm, pdf and webhelp takes the latest snapshot and merges it in, internal users can grab the latest by browsing the wik

I've been in your position with a team that's quadrupled (including international staff). In the team's I've worked in it tends to work on trust, committed alot of code and senior then it's probably not going to be reviewed. Still earning
