Congratulations, Iain !
"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.
Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

Movie Quote Of The Day
Don't call me babe!
Which movie?

- ...You called me Babe.
- I did? When?
- Just now.
- Babe... I guess I did.
- Babe...
(No connection...)
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

The Story of George Herman Ruth?
Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant Anonymous ----- The problem with quotes on the internet is that you can never tell if they're genuine Winston Churchill, 1944 ----- I'd just like a chance to prove that money can't make me happy. Me, all the time

I have a great job right now - putting together a recommendation for a new laptop for me. It needs to be able to do 4 hours of REAL work, not this "light use fluff", have high res, enough space for multiple versions of VS, and a VM or two, and be portable.
I have my eyes on the 512Gb SSD version of this:
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/yoga/yoga-2-pro/[^]
Any other recommendations? As I'm the main GUI writer in the small company I work for, I want to have touch and hi-dpi on one of my machines, just to make sure our software will play nicely with them - and I miss my laptop from 5 years ago that had 1900 x 10something...
The price of the Yoga above is making my boss wince a little, but not refuse, so no $3000 swiss made gold plated ones please...

It doesn't look like it has touch, which is a point against - not a deal breaker though. I'll see if it's available here for my list.

It does have touch....
Does the second word in the opening title not give it away, or the whole section on the touch capabilitites....
The touch Ultrabook™ with stunning...
Incredible
Touch
Technology with a human touch
Zenbook UX301 is wonderfully tactile, but that goes well beyond just the feel of its sleek, smooth and durable glass design. Windows 8 is designed with touch in mind and a dedicated ASUS Human Computer Interface team help make it even more intuitive to use with features like a responsive multi-touch display, and a large touch pad with multi-touch support. The backlit keyboard with automatic brightness control also means you'll always have a clear view of the keys, so you can stay productive, even in complete darkness. So whichever way you like to work, Zenbook UX301 has you covered.

That'll teach me to not just immediately press the "specs" button, and scroll down instead.
Defo on the investigate list then.

Is there a place where a programmer can find side programming jobs? I thought that is what sologig.com used to be but it doesnt appear to be that way now.
