How are entrepreneurs taxed more than normal employees? Having been an entrepreneur for more than 12 years, I feel I've been better off with the same amount of money I would have made working for someone else. And with WAY less work, and way more freedom. 2009-10-05T17:42:37.978+02:00 2009-10-05T17:42:37.978+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=nikon&conv=1139198&comment_id=22491013 Niko I did some Ruby learning last night and came up with an Eclipse-like Organize Imports command. Works for all .as files in the current TextMate project, so in this version it is necessary to drag the intrinsic classes to the project window. The code is no doubt ugly as hell but let me know if you'd like to see it nevertheless. ;) 2007-12-08T15:50:34.517+01:00 2007-12-08T15:50:34.517+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=nikon&conv=559872&comment_id=10620402 Niko Malcolm Gladwellin Blink-kirjassa on mainio luku tästä aiheesta. Luvun nimi on The Warren Harding Error, viitaten yhdysvaltojen edesmenneeseen presidenttiin joka oli täysin kykenemätön hoitamaan tehtäviään, mutta kovin vetävän näköinen.

He said their clients are reluctant to buy anything from a small vendor like them if they don't have patents to protect their product. Doesn't sound good, indeed. 2007-02-27T08:53:51.598+01:00 2007-02-27T08:53:51.598+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=nikon&conv=506778&comment_id=9284097 Niko Mielestäni tämä on nerokkaan epäloogista. Jos vaikka muistaa nähneensä Newsit vain etusivulla, näin säästytään yhdeltä klikkaukselta. ;) 2007-02-26T09:21:55.564+01:00 2007-02-26T09:21:55.564+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=nikon&conv=494822&comment_id=8998632 Niko Jos työhulluus ja työn hulluus kiinnostaa, kannattaa lukea mainio, hauska ja karmivakin kirja "Hullu Työtä Tekee", jonka on kirjoittanut työterveyslääkäri Juhani Seppänen. http://www.adlibris.com/fi/product.aspx?isbn=9524596601&s=1 2007-02-21T13:19:13.077+01:00 2007-02-21T13:19:13.077+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=nikon&conv=422361&comment_id=7081570 Niko Nyman This is almost the same comment I posted on Josh's blog, but with less directed to architecture wonks: My father is an architect and a retired professor of urban design. I do not know what's the specific name for his area of interest, but I see it as equal to user experience for software design. Inhabitant experience? Resident experience? Anyway, he has lots of experience with young, creative architects and I'm using some of his thoughts here. What separates architecture from writing a book or creating an ad is that people will live with your "creative work", each and every day, for years. And unlike choosing a book to buy in a bookstore, people are often not free to choose any house or building to live in (or around). What is "creative" and "good" architecture is defined by other architecture geeks, not by the users of the architecture, the people whose life is affected by it. The criteria are mostly external and have to do with the technical and aesthetic design of a building. Yet these are tiny minor details if the building doesn't make the inhabitants feel at HOME. So, to me this list here looks like a recipe for those architects who are generally way too interested in themselves, their bank account balance and their ego. It's great for the profession. Which is great for the architect's customers. So all is great, if you never mind the USERS. Current "good" and praise architecture is a lot like building software without consulting any users, and concentrating only on making the surface look good. Sometimes the users stick with it, sometimes they don't. And people can dump sucky software. It's not that easy with buildings that are stuck in perpetual beta. 2007-01-22T22:19:37.074+01:00 2007-01-22T22:19:37.074+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=nikon&conv=370272&comment_id=5218680 Niko Sama biisi on soinut täälläkin päässä, syypäänä lienee 24-sarjan tv-mainos... 2007-01-01T12:34:10.008+01:00 2007-01-01T12:34:10.008+01:00
