The Code strikes back
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008For the record, I refer to the people known below as “the guys” in an unfavorable manner, and to be fair it’s not just their fault. Lack of communication between us and them and whatever else it is I don’t know has resulted in them appearing to be completely off the charts on the C-axis, and we’re not talking the collaborator end here… At the time the below conversation took place I hadn’t really reflected much on the matter though and put more blame on them than they deserve....

Bitchware and Envyware
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008I really like Ubuntu with apt-get and synaptic to manage and install software, the total freedom to customize and yadayada you’ve all heard it before. However, sometimes the experience is not so pleasant, crazy actually, the first incident happened in the very beginning of my Ubuntu usage about 2 years ago.

It’s a total horror to have the coolest windowing in the world and it isn’t working, so close but yet so far away! That was the first time I realized I was feeling something I had never felt before as a Windows user, or in this context for that matter, envy. ... Read More

Inferred Logic
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008For some time now I’ve felt the need to start a different place where I can write about whatever interests me, not just IT stuff related to what I do professionally. The result is InferredLogic, there I will probably reflect on the current state of humanity, futurism and transhumanism for some time as that is what currently interests me in general. Therefore the Venus 2.0 post has been transferred there.... Read More
