A healthy mind and body

Posted on September 2, 2008No Comments on A healthy mind and body

We all know the typical programmer: A geek that lives to sit in front of a computer 24/7, feeding on pizzas and refreshments, getting little sleep and never exercising.

Reporting bugs

Posted on August 29, 2008No Comments on Reporting bugs

I am sure most programmers and me know by now the 101 rule: Maintain a bug database if you develop software. This post is not about this. I assume you know and practice it already.

Posted on August 19, 2008April 28, 2019No Comments on Motion detection and common knowledge

I have just read Sugarenia’s The problem with motion detection post: Now let’s take the other example, one of my favourites: let’s say you have a tap with motion detection.

How to use Ruby on Rails in your day job

Posted on March 24, 2008No Comments on How to use Ruby on Rails in your day job

Disclaimer: I am biased. A lot of noise started about the use of RoR in the enterprise. Can this be done? Technically, I don’t see a reason against it. Programmers low in a company’s food chain would have to overcome some obstacles in order to push their favorite framework into everyday use.
