No weight training…
As I mentioned in “competition time” our company now has a competition in training. Since I don’t have the best conditions for winning the improvement part of the competition I aim to score well in the best result part. And as the challenging person I am I’ve decided that this ten weeks of training will [...]
Versioning of framework
Since working in flash and compiling the result to an swf it’s kind of hard to show which version of the file is being tested. I recently got into this issue while having 3 different environments and I’m not in control of any of them so I can never for sure know which version is where at any given [...]
Competition time
At my company we are all love competitions of any kind. Since some of us loves training and health-issues are important when spending your whole workday in front of a computer, we decided to have an “health-competition” (for the third or fourth time around). This is a big deal, the whole company gets to do [...]
Pragmatic Unit Testing
This book lives mostly out of the reputation of the Pragmatic series (and most obvious from Pragmatic Programmer). It should be called “How to test with NUnit”. In concept it has some nice chapters and good “think-abouts” when unit testing your code. It has some really nice suggestions and solutions on how to separate and test the GUI from [...]
Sold the apartment!
I’ve sold the apartment!! Woho! Now everything is done before the move this autumn. It feels so great that everything is finally settled. The renovating, cleaning and preparations is over and me and my fiancée don’t have to put energy into it any more. It’s time to focus on learning Portuguese, development and most importantly; [...]
Working from home
Since my fiancée got a bad back I really needed to be home today to help her. And it’s great to have a working place that lets you work from home. In my perspective it’s not the best working environment at home.. you always find something else to do and it’s harder to focus. But when you [...]
IntelliJ IDEA open source
I’ve always had problem using the Eclipse IDE.. it’s to much. It knows too much, it’s too customizable and it doesn’t appeal to me. I’m just to FlashDevelop which I think spoiled me IDE-wise. I’m quite sure that it can read minds! I just want to refresh my C# skills and start to contribute to [...]
Finally some android developement
I’ve been trying for some time now to start developing android applications. Done thousands of hello worlds (you really don’t do nothing) and installing eclipse in different versions on different machines. But now I’m finally developing for real! It’s not just that I’m involved in a project where I’m co-writing the android app. It’s that [...]
Thanks Google!
I don’t know if I’m just slow or if this is something new.. but I really think it’s a cool feature and a “feel-good”-feature as well!
Clean code done
Now I’ve finally finished the great book of Clean Code! It’s written in Java, but every programmer no matter if you’re a scripter or server rat should read this book. It has some of the best “What to think about” that I’ve read. And the end is a great list of rules. I for one [...]
