When you buy a new server, please do not just consider their price tag. Please also take Warranty Cost and what kinds of support the hardware provider can support. For the server, you won't use it just for a year. You must need to extend the warranty. Moreover, the server need to be always on, we need to consider the support, whether they can come on-site as soon as possible. Actually, those terms are more important than purchase price of server.

A few days ago, I found a device calls "Leap Motion" which is a 3D motion and gestures controls. That is a kind of "3D" Mouse. For example, you can move your hand in the middle air to control a block in the screen left and right, up and down. That is very similar what Tom Cruise did in Minority Report. I listened a lot of report from some online gadget shows about this.
Now, you can find it in a local disk smith store for $129.98, but that is a quite expensive. $129.98 for doing some 3D gestures to my computer is a bit too much for me.

There is one advantage of aglie, we can get the clients to test the system when the parts built during the sprint, rather waiting the testing stage. If the bugs can be found as near as the time of its creation, that would be the best. The developer should be the best memory about the buggy parts. That is better to wait for the testing stage. Maybe a month, we need to understand the bug report and "search" our memory, how those parts works, how come the bug is created. That is not good!
Thus, getting bugs fixed should be carried as easily as possible!

Last night, I went to Brisbane .Net User Group. That is a great session about Bootstrap. Thanks for the presenter, Ben Cull. Ben showed us Bootstrap is a very easy to use grid system. You just need to put the css class around the element, you do not need to write a single line of css. Moreover, that is very fully responsive, that works prefect in desktop, tablet and smart phone. That is great! In addition, all text boxes and buttons are getting well styled by default too! I believe you can build a prefect website by using Bootstrap within 30 minutes!

Besides of Bootstrap, Ben showed us some new features in Visual Studio 2013, such as less css and bundle system.

That is a excellence session!

Finally, Apple Store in Brisbane is opened today. I mentioned before in my last post. That is in a heritage-listed building, MacArthur Central. As far as I know, that is only apple store are in a heritage-listed building. Thus, it looks very different than other stores. That still has English Renaissance styled outfits. Moreover, the inside stayed same, just painted all white. That is interesting. Everything looks historical, but there are a lot of latest gadget.
