A view on software, economics, ecology and energy. Saturday, March 27, 2010. This post is way off topic for me and certainly about something I do not look forward to. I saw an article (http:/ consumerist.com/2010/03/make-your-disposable-razor-blade-last-for-20-months.html) that claims to make a disposable razor blade last 20 months. I would love to know of well tested and viable techniques like this as it will allow me to reduce the amount of "stuff" that we buy and eventually throw away. One of the comp...

A view on software, economics, ecology and energy. Monday, May 24, 2010. I finally finished reading Coders At Work. A book that captures conversations with 15 computer-scientists and programmers. In a nut-shell - if you enjoy programming, read this book there is a lot of wisdom captured within these conversations. The down-side is that almost all of these conversations start sounding similar by about mid-way. Ok now to my point. Feed paper into it) than a new iPod. The current crop of engineers build tec...

A view on software, economics, ecology and energy. Wednesday, May 13, 2009. It costs $30,000 to fill up your iPod (Says Microsoft). M$ marketing machine has now completely lost their mind (or) we have a space-time rift. Their new ad, states:. Problem: It costs $30k to fill a 120Gb iPod. (Assuming $1/song and 30k songs). Solution*: Pay $15/month and get a Zune ( $300 for the Zune). A) Microsoft does not 'get' that people have friendly contacts* and how they interact and use the internet. I lead an innovat...

A view on software, economics, ecology and energy. Sunday, November 29, 2009. Something scary from USA. I was playing around with Google Insight to see if there are any interesting trends regarding an improving economy etc. If you select the link below, it will take you to the search trend for "unemployment benefits". Watch the animation of the search volume over time (the controls are under the map of USA). See: http:/ www.google.com/insights/search/#geo=US&q=unemployment benefits&cmpt=q. I lead an inno...

A view on software, economics, ecology and energy. Saturday, July 18, 2009. Software Engineering: An Idea who's time has come and gone! An interesting perspective from Tom DeMarco in IEEE Computer (via Reddit) in a 2-page article, where he questions if Software Engineering is past its prime. See: http:/ www2.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/ComputingNow/homepage/2009/0709/rW SO Viewpoints.pdf. Easier, mainly because given the right tools with discipline and focus we can actually get over this aspect. Tom is...
