Let’s take \”enterprise\” out of the parking lot
> Rather than build out your next Instagram or SnapChat knock-off, consider disrupting 30 years of clunky software with horrendous user interfaces. The office-drone masses will bless you for it.

Amazon 2014Q2 marginalia
I took a look at Amazon’s recent earnings call transcript. Not as details-rich as CA’s, and more widely covered, but some little bits and pieces here. See the stand-alone HTML file in my dropbox share, and the raw markdown file if you prefer that. I’m still looking for a better way to render there if…

Yes, folks, it’s just that simple!
All you’ll need is an idea and some free time. The platform and the infrastructure underneath will not be anything for you to ever worry about. I think this is most people’s view of programming. Yes, folks, it’s just that simple!

Chalk of Math +5
At the chalkboard, I use only Hagoromo faru ta’chi (“Full-Touch”) chalk, for which it has been claimed that it is impossible to make a mathematical mistake when writing with this chalk. I always like a good The Setup. Chalk of Math +5

CA Technologies FY2015Q1 marginalia, experimenting with CriticMarkup
While reading through CA’s recent quarterly conference call transcript, I thought I’d try out an idea I had this morning: using CriticMarkup to DIY what Genius.com does: annotating content. It worked OK, except I didn’t invest time in getting the HTML output right, so it looks kind of crappy – you can see the raw…

The 6 hour manager, funding infrastructure, microservers mind-mapping
(Hello there! I’m finally getting around to doing a newsletter-y thing. I like the ones I see, the single page of links. In the bricolage style of weblogging, if that word still exists, that I operate in by default, I thought I’d narrow down to a sort of “Selections from the Daily Wunderkammer” for the…

When teams are separated along these lines, even simple changes can lead to a cross-team project taking time and budgetary approval. A smart team will optimise around this and…

Microsoft estimates it has 14% device share
At it partner conference, Microsoft’s Kevin Turner portrays the company as having 14% device (PC, smartphone, tablets) share: In a world of 14 per cent device share, we have a new mindset: you have to have a challenger mindset.
