    How is work planned/done at your place?

    Haven't posted on this forum in years, and for some reason thought to check back tonight. Glad I did! Dj_Jestar is the one speaking the most sense in this thread. I hate the 'Oh yah we need to totally do Agile' camp as much as the next guy, but that doesn't mean we don't employ 'Agile...

    Ace of Spades: Minecraft 'evolution'

    Or ripoff, whichever you think :p http://www.aceofspades.com/ Looks great though - nicer rendering, combat, fort building, blow built structures up :cool: Due for release on Steam on the 12th I think

    Defect/issue tracking systems

    We use JIRA, linked with our code repo and Confluence (which is superb) it works amazingly well. Had a thing for FogBugz but their pricing for startups is crap, and the JIRA>Confluence>Repo hook up beats any small advantage FogBugz may bring hands down.

    Georgia vs..

    Aye not necessarily saying Calibri is what you want, just saying that Arial definitely isn't :p It's very old and tired imo, and does no service to the rest of the design - but maybe it's just me. There's definitely a font family combination out there to suit with regards to your sizing issue -...

    Georgia vs..

    Ah that looks much better in the flesh :) Get rid of Arial and you're on to a winner, I've just tried with Calibri and it looks great, though font sizes obviously need tweaking. Also I tried the headers without small caps and I think they work a lot better, small caps says 90s word templates...

    just installed Magento, says it's >140mb

    Just to counter this - my experience doesn't match. I've had Magento running an admittedly small shop (<100 items) on shared hosting, and much bigger sites on pretty cheap VPSs. On the subject of speed it's a matter of debugging performance - it will run more than happily on a cheap VPS if you...

    Georgia vs..

    Have you tried Georgia for the headings and sans-serif for the body? Also what sans-serif font is that - Arial? There's much nicer available that I'd use before that - Calibri, Segoe UI etc. Also worth looking at http://www.google.com/webfonts. Oh and for me personally, the use of bold first...

    just installed Magento, says it's >140mb

    It's superb for the price, but you need to know what you're doing. There's nothing else out there that's roll your own and free that compares to my knowledge, but if you're just starting out and not technical then there's probably a better hosted solution that will work out cheaper for you in...

    ownCloud 4.0 released

    Looks great thanks. Used it a while ago but the client had some issues. I've been using OpenMediaVault but it's failed me twice, so I think I'll move to Ubuntu and try OwnCloud again :)

    The road to become a programmer

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say the frequency of those doing unit tests etc is not affected by the language

    Php frameworks

    +1 for CodeIgniter but it's been a while since I've developed an app in PHP, so people mentioning other frameworks making use of 5.3's features means I'm going to go take a look :p

    The road to become a programmer

    Never been a fan of Python but a lot of people are so well worth a look. As others have said the trick is to focus on learning the principles/paradigms/patterns/whatever you want to call them, the language you use is down to preference and context from there on out. Once you understand the...
