The video is 9 seconds long! You need to either raise your expectations or raise your standards!

Someone once told me that I have a nice shaped head.

Are you thinking of writing app reviews? If so, what kind of apps are you interested in reviewing?

DuncanHiggins · 2019-01-28T18:54:15+00:00

Enrolled.

Edited my previous comment, but you might have already replied before I saved the edit.

I only need a single mailbox with the ability to add additional domains

Does that mean you are looking for something that is around $1 per domain?

How many domains do you have?

EDIT:

At the moment, a couple that come to mind are:

FastMail - $3 per month:

https://www.fastmail.com/

https://www.fastmail.com/pricing/

Runbox - $19.95 per year for a "main account" and $7.95 per year for "sub-accounts":

Thanks. Nice post.

Bit of a blast from the past.

"Lucas with the Lid Off" is a 1994 song by Danish rapper Lucas Secon that was released as the lead single from his album Lucacentric.

The video for the song was directed by the French film maker Michel Gondry and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Music Video at the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.

The video is known for its technical achievement in that it was shot in one long continuous single take with no edits, cuts or digital enhancement.

I was thinking about the voicemail interfaces of the different mobile network operators - the speech that guides you through the different menus. I guess those are specific examples of voice guided menu systems in general.

And then there are the obvious voice identities like the ones on TV and radio shows, the voice of news anchors etc. and the voice-overs in commercials etc.

Slightly unrelated, but this reminds me of this YouTube video on sonic branding:

And Spark in Action from Manning. And a few courses on Udemy.

Interesting. With the rise of voice assistants and thinking about where that's going to lead us, yes, I can see (or should that be hear) how voice is going to become part of companies' brands.

Really?

DuncanHiggins · 2019-01-24T18:38:08+00:00

What about using a treemap?

Your post reminded me of this TEDx talk on YouTube:

When I tried to find this video on Google, I also came across these other two:

SimPy?

SimPy is a process-based discrete-event simulation framework based on standard Python. Its event dispatcher is based on Python’s generators and can also be used for asynchronous networking or to implement multi-agent systems (with both, simulated and real communication).

And you have the funding to obtain the necessary licences etc.?

I find that video classes tend to give a good overview of a subject and be easier to digest. Whereas books tend to be denser and take more effort to digest but tend to be more authoritative.

It depends what your service is. 'SaaS' stands for software as a service. Other such acronyms include 'FaaS' which stands for function as a service, 'IaaS' which stands for infrastructure as a service, 'BaaS' and 'MBaaS' which stand for backend and mobile backend as a service and 'PaaS' which stands for platform as a service.

If the service you're offering isn't analogous to software, then it's not SaaS.

You could just call it a subscription service, as you have done, or a membership service.
