Hi SBers,
If you are:
a) based in Sydney in striking distance of Ultimo, and
b) appalled at how little exercise you get these days because you're
working so damn hard on your startup,
then you may be interested in an initiative that those of us based at
Fishburners have kicked off to give

I think I have just stumbled into a frighteningly ambitious project, and

Hey there Beachers,

on to a university course, and looking at doing something software/IT
related.
At the moment I am doing a lot of development
Hi Fergus,
Software development or software engineering (as opposed to Computer Science)
can give you a more well-rounded experience of what developing software in
startups is like. Being exposed to both Comp Sci and Software Dev/Eng is ideal.
