I realised something surprising the other day. Something so surprising that it has taken me over two weeks to get my head round it. Something that lead me to set up a new Flickr group to try and change it. Too many photographers are lazy. They spend no time to get better, and then sit [...]
It’s pretty tough looking after 9 projects, a lot of things to keep an eye on. It’s even harder when some of the projects use a totally different process to the others. We are a Scrum shop, we follow the scrum process – mostly. Recently a few of our projects started to use Kanban, which [...]
Once again, Facebook has rolled out some new changes, and once again my news stream is filled with updates along the lines of “Facebook has ruined MY internet” (come on, it wasn’t intended as a personal insult). The changes in question are the addition of lists as a first class entity (in the interface – [...]
Do you think of writing a webapp in similar terms to creating a startup? I think that they are in very similar. Let me explain to you why, and see if you agree. I’ve been building and coding webapps for many years now. I have experience of working in a startup that went bust, and [...]
Foreman is a gem that allows you to define what processes an (rails) app needs to run. For example background workers, pubsub etc. Typically I like to deploy my applications to at least two environments: staging and production, not to mention running it in development locally.

I was inspired today by a post on Rachel Davies’ blog to write something that has been brewing in my mind for some time. So today I want to share with you the concept of commitment debt. Towards the end of 2010, I tried mapping my own projects, work, social, personal etc, and fitting them [...]
Its rare that I come across a new company doing something creative, doing it well, and making me think “wow! this is cool” so when I do, I feel I ought to shout about it… In our office we just shared a round of handmade bespoke liqueurs, served from an old style Alchemsist test tubes. [...]
One of the reasons that I wrote my most recent project, HabitualApp, was the work and reading I have been doing over the past two years or so on personal growth. Of all the ideas and concepts I came across, one of the hardest to really get to grips with, or to “internalise”, is understanding [...]
Less than a week ago I launched HabitualApp. Given that my day job is creating webapps this isn’t something I would normally make a big deal of. However this site was different – I wrote it entirely on my own. That meant I had to do: Concept Design (what is the app, why does it [...]
