My first PSX (original european series) got baked on a hot summer in the year that the PSX was released in Europe. It was just called the PlayStation then. The baking was totally explainable. It was in a cramped position so the air couldn’t circulate very well. It was stunningly hot and I was Soul …

Will
Was in a meeting discussing a new project almost all day long and all the usual things went wrong again: it lasted longer than four hours and of course the data model was the centerpiece of discussion once again. Slowly, my newly found inspiration was fading away. I will never forget the legendary words spoken …
Meticulous
Note: this is a second third starting of the series… I have posted it and un-posted, posted it and un-posted it again and now I’m posting it for the final time. A woman told me my blog would be more interesting if I posted more stuff about myself so here is some that has been …

PowerShell
Msh, Mush and Microsoft Command Shell are no more. Monad has a new “Marquee” name and we all have the Microsoft marketing department to thank for it.

So now it’s reasonably late and I’m getting pretty strunken and I’m still messing around with company code… This can’t be good. At least I must be sane though as I’m able to post this. See. There is is… Well, it will be when I hit the nice looking button below… Yes, my friend – …
Work
Damn… Just can’t control myself… Must refactor code… No work… Work! No work! Work! I promise I will not implement anything useful ok?

Some people just bring out the best in me… Usually I take my work home with me. That is, after I arrive home my laptop has usually rebooted before I even take off my coat. However, today I’ve lost the spirit for the current project because “the powers that be” deny us the opportunity to …
