Same stats roughly, 9.5% IE7. Client's are asking for IE7 support as base level (they normally don't ask for IE6 when I say +50% cost). I suspect next year will start the "death to IE7" campaign. Hopefully. We also have 1.67% IE6 users who

My story: Whilst on a university placement doing some web coding and databases work, the guy in the office next to me was having real problems with his website. Being curious, I asked for the URL and took a look. A classic ASP and Access da

Signed up too. I kind of started freelance work but like Alan's post, the c# freelance world was either "contract" or "permi". Found some good guys to do work with now on a kind of "per project" approach which is good. Interested to read th

Most people don't understand the difference between "Google" and a "Browser" [1], cynically, I don't hold much hope people will care what browser cookies are. I've already had to explain to my parents that cookies aren't evil, the sites the

How did you go about finding that BigCo job? Perhaps its down to the job market in the UK and .NET that everything is handled by recruiters that hide lots of details about BigCo jobs or make them sound dull.

Seems very sensible. I hadn't thought about doing it. I'll draw up a list and start sending emails out. My current client is going to talk to me about the idea Monday. He has alot of knowledge and could help verify the idea. I suspect he wi

It's more the following: 1. Location. In Bristol, United Kingdom. Not London. 2. The .NET scene isn't very startup focused. Of all the .NET usergroup events I've attended (in Bristol) over the years I've only seen 1 person talking about the

Opposite problem here. Can't find a business co-founder, I'm a guy that likes building stuff but has no ideas. Part of my problem as well is that I use different tools to rails, mainly ASP.NET MVC etc. You mention "The project is music rela

This does look interesting. Can't quite figure out if it would suit me. I'm interested in learning Rails but I haven't done any Ruby before. I do a lot of C#, ASP.NET MVC, RavenDB, MySQL/SQL server and AppHarbor, so I understand MVC and we

Yes, the pricing change is fine if I just want to throw up some private side projects, but for an MVP product, no. With an MVP product I would want to have a custom domain to make it look more professional and to share with the world. Sure

RavenDB is an excellent document database for those of us who still have to (or choose to) use .NET. Personally its one of the last remaining factors when I reach for .NET over other tools. Combining RavenDB with AppHarbor will be a great d

Actually it does for me. Perhaps its the handset that determines this issue? I have a O2 PAYG HTC HD7 WP7.5 device that I use with GiffGaff and the page clearly lists the header and my phone number.
