The new (just) offshore development
Would you want to live on a ship? This has actually been around for a while, but I just came across this company called SeaCode that’s proposing to use Cruise ships to house software development teams off the coast of California. The teams would be made up of foreign workers and the idea is to bring cheap labor closer to the US to cut down on communication overhead. Since they sit off shore, they’re not subject to any US immigration laws. It’s a pretty odd idea and I wonder how many engineers would actually go for the idea of living on a ship. We may never know though, all the press on the web site is from 2005, but it is a kind of interesting idea.

Hi,
Could we please avoid having adverts from your site on planetpython?
Thanks.

I’m just experimenting with the RSS ads right now, I’ll probably turn them off after the new year. The ads are automatically inserted into the feed by feedburner, PlanetPython simply aggregates the feed. I thought it was kind of strange the PlanetPython displays the ads, it certainly was never intentional on my part.

Not to worry then
Sorry if I sounded harsh.
