Untrue. The US government is taking the subject of telework very seri
Hi Sam,
Thank you for such detailed reference.
1. Design of transactions at the moment is well underway. We hired a guy
last week to speed up development. We shall have them in a month or so time.
For these reasons we didn't address them in our documentation
2. Demo application, we had once in
Good stuff Richard,
My wife and I always talked about joining a technology/science
commune. Perhaps comune is too strong a word. But a community of
geniouses definitely appeals. A town where everyone has a hand in
high level science and research. The kids get the best education in
the world.
Hi David,
Unfortunately I didn't get to BartCamp last Saturday.
Thank you very much for the idea and such a kind offer.
We shall prepare such articles and shall be in touch with you.
Thank you David,
Dmytro

Thank you Jason,
At this moment we tried to address developers (we have more than hundred
registered developers of our database for last two weeks)
Developers, once they see features - clearly know what the benefits (if we
write for developer benefit page, most likely the will ignore it)

Dmytro,
I think you need to ramp up your online PR, here's one example, I'm
sure others here have more.
Write a short article, say 500-1000 words and try and get it in
relevant magazines and web sites. I'll introduce you to the editor at
IDM (Image and Data Magazine) to see if he'd be int
A few observations (from someone who's never been south of the equator):
- Your offer may have the most appeal to people who cannot afford to buy a
house but want one. Not necessarily college educated knowledge workers.
Perhaps low-to-medium skill service industry workers? Seniors who like warm

Thanks Julian,
We have a theoretical commitment from several local and couple US companies.
They are committed to trial our database in a new product as soon as project
starts.
The issue that start time of their project is uncertain.
Of course, most other companies, at the moment, are not keen t

Suggest the following:
1. list three companies who SHOULD be your paying customers
2. do whatever it takes to have a face to face, detailed conversation with them
3. get a 'what if' commitment... 'if we built X, would you buy it?'
4. If you get a commitment, you'll know how to develop and
I had a look at your website, and my initial thought is "Why would I
use this?".
(Actually my initial thought after seeing the ASP.NET code was "Thank
god I use Ruby". But I digress).
Your website talks about features, not benefits. What is the advantage
of using a direct object store, in place
Hi again all.
Because I lack any true opposition or advocacy of the issue of solar farms,
I'm not going to make myself look like I'm arguing any further in this
discussion. I'm going to stick my thread and argue the case for cultural
change around the subject of telework - an orthogonal debate to

We are not 'established business men' we are ratbags, scum, dreamers,
geeks, basket weavers, greenies and much much worse. If you want to

I too have been sitting back and enjoying this thread and Phil and
Elias comments hit me like a slap in the face - a good one :)!
I have recently discovered the real potential of growing business
online through sharing experiences, networks and success stories, as
Elias explained. As a young busi

There are two major options:
1. Architect designing townhouses
or my preference
2. Traditional Australian cottages with a large veranda around the
house.
It is easy to create efficient buildings is you
I've been enjoying sitting back and reading this thread, but thought
it was time to chime in with support for Elias.
You won't find a more patriotic Aussie than myself - I love the
country and the people, but I live in Silicon Valley. Why? As much as
I love Australia, it doesn't have the "can do
Hi all.
What follows is, in part, a reply to Elias Bizannes's last message in the
thread about small regional towns as innovation centres using solar farming
as a possible revenue vector. I have moved it here to its own thread because
I would like to see a separate discussion evolve specifically a
Hi Guys,
I am one of two co-founders of Eloquera ( www.eloquera.com ),
recently we have made available to public our pre-release version of
the database... and now we are trying to determine our marketing
roadmap.
Banners on specialized websites and google CPC program proved to be
inefficient.
Nope - no sarcasm. The point I was trying to make: innovation centres are
influenced by a particular type of environment and the human relationships
that are built. And that culture is ultimately what makes an innovation
centre - but that culture is derived only from having the right environment.
Hi Richard,
What kind of houses do you plan to build?
