Comment Nest shutdown of it’s developer api, Bye bye (Score 1) 46

I got 2 nests and hooked them up to my standalone HomeAssistant server. I controlled when to shift to away based on my sensors. That’s all I really wanted. Once they shutdown the api, I couldn’t do this anymore. I will be getting rid of the nests, (gifts? I have the boxes...) and I’m current researching for a ZWave thermostat. F**K Google

Comment re-entering the Job market at 50+ (Score 2) 435

You may want to re-think the software engineer title and aim for a management slot. You have experience on dealing with people, knowledge transfer, defining requirements and other skills that are required to herd cats and contractors.

Being 50+ myself, I find that my company values my skills as a manager and an ability to get the job done. I'm wasting my time coding and usually if I want to get my hands dirty, I'll take on Information architecture role and vet code for standards, risks, and approach.

Manage software engineers....

Asus DR-570 E-Reader To Bring OLED Display 70

MojoKid writes "Reportedly, Asus will be introducing the DR-570 color eReader by the end of 2010, but it won't be just another one in the crowd. In fact, it just might be a game-changer. The reader will supposedly have a 6" screen, but rather than using e-ink like every other reader out there, this one will utilize a color OLED screen. Word is the unit will last a whopping 122 hours on a full charge. It should also be able to run Flash applications, download books over 3G to Wi-Fi, and most likely surf the web, unlike any other reader out there." Asus will be rolling out two other ebook reader models this year as well.
