Is there such a thing as Rentacoder in reverse? Funding for an existing project? There are quite a few useful sites where a company or individual can post about a programming project they are willing to pay to have implemented, places like rentacoder.
More and more I find myself, as a programmer, in the opposite position - I have a programming project that I have already implemented an initial version of on my own time, and am pleased enough with it to think it deserves further development. DC has provided such a wonderful place in terms of being able to get some support to work on these kinds of programs. But there are also times when it's not real a DC-centric project and I can't afford to keep working on it on my own time -- and i don't have the skills or inclination to try to market it or find traditional funding. I'm sure other programmers at DC may find themselves in similar situations sometimes. So while I know this is a long shot, I wonder if anyone had any ideas about how a programmer might find and connect with someone who would be interested in funding additional development of an existing project and handle the business end of things, in return for partial ownership, etc.? |

Google GoWe'll dispense with the unnecessary "Google is evil, despite what they say" diatribe and get right to the good stuff: Google have opened up a new programming language that they're calling Google 'Go'. It's based heavily on C but it looks to me like it's a little more "functional" in terms of syntax. Their goals were apparently faster compile times (were they thinking of C or C++?) and a more expessive syntax (hence the "functional" bit I guess). Ars (as usual) has a good write-up here, and the official site is here. I haven't had a chance to try it myself, but if anyone else has please let us know what you thought. A Google TechTalk has been posted here. |

Hidden Netflix Marathon Gems to Watch OnlineI've always been a huge fan of movie or tv series marathons, which go on for tens of hours.. I find them extremely calming and comforting, the fact that they just go on an on.. Often i only pay attention to bits and pieces as i'm working -- i like to have something on in the background while i work.
Anyway, i've discovered a few of these series that you can watch online if you are a member of netflix, and i thought i'd share them, and ask for other suggestions of related shows. These are all available to watch online: |
