There is a lot of hype around the cloud. Many people know the term "the cloud" but the meaning is often jokingly relegated to the "other peoples computers". Is it really other peoples computers? Well it's not your computer. It's bigger and more amazing than that. In this show I'll talk about the inception of the cloud and how it went from solving an internal problem to becoming the

Shine Theory not only defines how success can be achieved across so many aspects of our lives but also brings clarity to the successes of such movements as DevOps. The concept of collaboration of software development and operations, over the separation of role, knowledge and/or power is proving both an advantage and an enabler

...or is it "are devices listening" to you? Well yes. There's always a simple answer to these questions and it's yes. Breaking it down to the basics, pretty much all of our devices are listening because we've enabled Siri or Google or Alexa or… to respond to a keyword command like "Hey Siri" such that they can present us, in the case of Siri, with a spooky HAL 9000ish blob to ind

This was going to be a comparison of major phones, breaking down some of the exploits and weaknesses. I was potentially going to compare IOS to Android and throw fuel onto an already raging fire amongst smart phone enthusiasts which is, if you’re listening to a podcast, all of us. Maybe you’re not a geek or a gadget nut but you’re probably far more dependent on that device th

Last year at this time Bitcoin was going haywire! It was on what seems to be the never ending rise to THE MOON! Until it stopped just shortly into 2018. Totally unpredictable behaviour. Stupid bitcoin! Or is it? There is a pattern. Ok a few patterns but this one struck me as interesting. If you check out the blog article or this podcast on Codifyre.com you’ll see a few graphs of

Once a new technology rolls over you, if you're not part of the steamroller, you're part of the road. Stewart Brand This is one of those podcasts which isn’t the offspring of late night research, countless hours of trial and error tempered by seminars, articles and other people podcasts. This one is coming from real life… whatever that means. This one is coming from real life�

Is it cast aside teenage wunderkinds who can seemingly dissect all things computer with the crack of a laptop to create designer chaos? They are portrayed smoking cigarettes, roller blading and always have media savvy branding! Too cool! Any time a major breach is announced, the media conjures up their classic image of this hooded jedi-like figure in a dimly lit room with 0s and 1s

Machine Learning I’ve heard the phrase Machine Learning banging around the media more intensely over the past few years and you know what that means… I’m not happy until I know what is really means. TO THE BAT-MOWER! My first conjured image is of course a lawn mower in a classroom trying to fumble its way through the shakespearean sonnet. It seems I wasn’t far off! Ok I was

I was a late adopter waiting until about 2007 before getting onto Facebook. Back in the 2000s I remember my brother calling Facebook a platform for narcissists. Just over 10 years later and 2.3 Billion narcissists later he and I are both active participants. I don’t think he was wrong! To a degree of course. I think Facebook, to take a positive spin, provides an outlet for many p

Robots will rule us all. I feel that’s already been established by more sci-fi writers than can be credited in one podcast. You may have recently seen that an Uber self-driving car killed a pedestrian in a headline grabbing frenzy that re-awakened the humanity in all of us. Questions like What if… insert dystopian human based car fiasco here where AI (artificial intelligence) i
