How I used to learn when I was much younger was experimentation. In particular it refers to how I learnt how to program. In the very beginning it was to type stuff from a manual, listings I found in computer magazines, then change it and see what happens. Recycling, repurpose. No huge expectations. With years […]
OK. I’ve finally purchased a recent desktop set-up and could take a serious look at the Android development platform. With a surprise, I discovered that Google made a interesting shift toward IntelliJ. Is this kind of a fish slapping dance? It doesn’t really matter who is who here, but Eclipse Foundation does not feel particularly […]
I think I’ve seen this couple months back, but today it drawn my attention more successfully. So successfully, I put that thing on my wish list. This is not a critically expensive but 200 Euros is not 20, unfortunately. What I am talking about? MIST is a successful project of two people. Till Harbaum stands […]
Do more, complain less. Keep going, keep going. Thanks Patrick.
March 15th. I would expect a completely different view outside, but it is what it is. Snow. Again. Same applies to this blog. It meant to be a vehicle for my revival as an active programmer and coder, whereas… Silence. Again. Luckily it is not so bad . The fact that I write so rarely […]
It’s been a while since I made last note here. Despite plans and promises I’ve been making to myself, I failed again. Making a progress on coding (a general term, isn’t it?) and writing about it, is something I understand as crucial for self-development as an engineer. And what about that? Rather not much lately… […]
This is pretty interesting that one of the hobbies and no-work-related activities I’ve been able to find some time recently for is… Haskell. Don’t know if this is a constant trend yet, but it looks like I found a new Python. Not in a technical sense of course. This is just the same vibe and […]
When I were young, the time did not fly so horribly fast. This is for sure. I do not really remember whether I traveled with the speed of light or what, but apparently I had much more time. It was not so expensive as it is today. This is for sure. Now, having family and […]
I find myself trudging through the complexities of Grails, however the real business remains almost untouched. This is more than demotivating by the end of the day. This is one of the problems I’m struggling with: who’s the real driver here? Is it the problem I’ve been trying to code or the technology I decided […]
Pretty standard corporation rat, or rather a mouse. Dragging chain of not-so-perfect choices, coincidences, so called business decisions. Feel like a cast-away on the ocean… Years of coding and programming faded into the mist of time. Feeling detached and bad now. Feeling lame actually. But it’s time for a change. Time to refresh memory and learn […]
