I like simple things, and I believe I’m a very simple person –though my wife of 13 years begs to differ.
My quest for software that’s as simple as my needs, is an on going one, my good friend Tamgo, jokingly asks me: “What’s the OS of the month?” and he’s right I do change Os’s [...]
While I agree with most of what Elvis say. There is a need to look deeper, there are open ends:
1.) How do you determine individuals are “qualified and prepared”?
2.) Assuming you can consistently solve point 1, if the individual does not care, is not motivated, then all preparedness and qualifications, and even professionalism wont help.
3.) [...]

Air Force Aims for ‘Full Control’ of ‘Any and All’ Computers
Most of the tools they need for their plans are already available. Making those tools is not as difficult as it seems, and wont take them long, they could even ask the good folks in the NSA [...]
This past Friday, I received a surprising email, from a former co-worker, it’s been a year or more since I left that particular company (wont name, names). We were in different departments, but were by fate put on the same project.
This particular project was (is) of the utmost importance for that company, and in his [...]
I wrote something that seemed to me, a very innocent question with regards to Mac OS X: Should Apple release it for non-Apple labeled computers? I gave my point of view. I listed the Pros and Cons of this course of action, with the clear notion this is just a utopian argument, because I don’t [...]
I’ve read several blogs, and news sites discussing this utopian possibility, I think most make valid points in favor and against this move, but I think they still miss the big picture, and here I will detail what I believe that is.
The Windows argument
Some believe Apple should release OS X as an OS for non [...]
By now everybody knows that Steve Jobs is a Stud evil genius.
Apple has reduced the price of their iPhone product. The cries of outrage from the “Early Adopters” were so loud, that Steve thought he had discovered a new level of high definition in his iTouchPod, cause he had never heard that chorus before in [...]
It’s been a bit since I blogged. I’ve been busy with work. I’m working on a non-deterministic algorithm, that will be used for random data generation that serve as seeds for a more complex algorithm that generates serial keys.* I know the above is very ambiguous but that’s all I’m allowed to say. It’s [...]
A friend of my wife came up to me yesterday, he’s studying to become a Systems Engineer, and he wanted to know: What did I do to become a good programmer?
My answer: Who said I was a good programmer?
To be honest, I’m not sure if I am a good or bad programmer, and I never [...]
For years I have ignored the programmer vs. developer problem. For those of you that don’t know of this problem it’s quite simple: There is a trend in some IT circles to regard programmers as second class citizens, as code cowboys that are trigger happy, and are just good for writing code.
Right now if you [...]
