Top 3 things to do to make better software
7 Comments Published April 16th, 2010 in Java, Life, universe and everything, Opinions, SoftwareSome time ago, I've answered to a job interview question which was sounding more or less like: «suppose you have 20 minutes to talk to an audience of junior developers about what have been the lessons you learned from your software development experience, and resume that in three points, about what a good developer shall [...]
Yesterday night I tried to connect the iPod to Linux. I tried some programs but none was working decently; but the good news is that you don't really need any special program "made for iPod" to do this. For the guys who do not know about iTunes and iPod/iPhone foolishnesses, the problem is that when [...]

0 Comments Published August 31st, 2009 in Apple, Linux, SoftwareSince the 24th of August a new beta of Skype is available.

Apple MightyMouse: don’t buy it.
0 Comments Published March 12th, 2009 in Apple, Hardware, Linux, SoftwareTwo Saturdays ago, I bought the Wireless Apple Mightymouse. Very nice looking, but I find it much harder to use than the MacBook's touchpad. Basically the problem is the acceleration, there's no way to set it up without external utility: usboverdrive, steermouse, about $20 each. While you can adjust mouse acceleration in any decent OS, [...]

Sometime ago I wrote a watchdog against SSH login attacks. After that simple class, I started working – actually not much! – on a more flexible and configurable watchdog engine. But nothing came out so far. The codebase is short and quite good I think, and I was implementing that using TDD approach (only on [...]
