TonyBurnnice20:39
brobostigonsome of it is quite challenging, and not really recognised, but some if it, like haiku and beos is second nature.20:40
TonyBurni need to get my ass into gear and do a little more20:42
brobostigonTonyBurn: my mind has been focused on recently, thinking about the design of a linux consultency/system design and sales company.20:43
TonyBurnyea? as a one man band?20:46
brobostigonprobebly.20:46
* brobostigon is hating the mathematics.20:47
brobostigonTonyBurn: thats the bit, i will need help with.20:50
TonyBurnthe maths?!20:51
brobostigonyes, iam awful at it.20:51
TonyBurni dont understand how it is such an issue? is it a problem with regards to business accounting?20:53
TonyBurnor development?20:53
brobostigonthe accounting as well as doing the planning of finanaces.20:53
TonyBurnif you;re a one man band what overheads are you going to incurr apart from broadband and a laptop?20:55
TonyBurneverything else is living expenses, ie business as usual20:55
brobostigontools,  and materials20:56
brobostigonmost of the tools ihave already.20:57
brobostigonand then maybe a shop.20:57
TonyBurnmost consultants i know cream at least 600 quid a day and have never needed any overheads such as a shop etc20:58
brobostigonTonyBurn: i am thinking ahead here.20:59
TonyBurnobviously i dont really know your strategy, business plans, end goals/objectives but if your talking about starting as a one man band i wouldn't burden yourself with overheads that aren't required, i'd address them if they ever are required due to an opportunistic gap in the market21:01
brobostigonTonyBurn: agreed, i want to start for myself. however i thinking that there might be a market for more consumer product in the future, ad therefore thinking about that,21:03
TonyBurndunno what the situation is like locally for you but i'm not soo sure if there will ever be a market there on a local level21:10
brobostigonwell, not striclkly locally, however withhin lets say, oxfordshire, or midlands.21:11
brobostigonfor example.21:11
brobostigonand there is definatly a market, among certain people within allthe systems linux us used on, for example, tablets, mobilephones, netbooks, etc.21:13
TonyBurnso your targetting consumer rather then business?21:15
TonyBurn*you're21:15
brobostigonah, business first.21:15
brobostigonTonyBurn: i would like to design a certain type of machine with haiku though, and another ide for something with android.21:31
TonyBurnthats all hobby stuff though unless you have a serious business plan behind it?21:37
brobostigonat the moment, yes, all just simple ideas.21:38
TonyBurnok, yes hobby stuff can hit it right at times and generate lots of revenue, but unless your haiku machine s offering something unique i cant see what requirements it could be filling21:38
TonyBurn*is21:38
brobostigonit will be offerring some VERY unique things,21:39
TonyBurnthat the consumer cant already get on a commercially supported platform?21:40
