Nuclear War
A friend of my emailed me with a link to a game called World Domination. This seems to be a nice remake of the old Amiga game called Nuclear War that I used to play. Very nice version.

Developers versus Programmers

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

I just read a good article on Javalobby newsletter about developers and programmers.

Developers work, programmers play

I must say, I love this quote though I love to work; so am I still a developer? :D
He mentions the following:

Programmers, prone to an over-confidence resulting from excessive faith in technology’s ability to save the day, will find themselves facing impending deadlines with work still to go that was meant to be made “easy” by that technology, but was unexpectedly time-consuming.

Even tough I consider myself a developer I must say I also encountered the same problem: last minute problem resulting from a technology, tool or framework that endangers my deadline.

Walk in the park

Last Sunday my wife and I took a walk in the park where we walked into my parents who where on there way to us. During the walk we came across a lot of mushrooms. Since I had my camera with me I took some pictures and this one is the best:
