«Consider yourself Perfectible makes you Perfect!»
London Open Source Jam – 15th May 2008
This time the main topic was about “Developer Productivity“. It was one of the most funny I have ever attended: a couple of speaker were just “crazy” (but in a good way)!

I can’t put it any simpler: buy and read those 2 books ASAP.
Getting Real
Rework
This is proper stuff. This is stuff that translates into words what you, THE DEVELOPER, would like to have in your daily work life.

This took some patience. Not to take the pictures themselves, but to bear with a group of trip-mates that were either freezing or bored to wait for me to take this 12 pictures -_-

The Story of Bottled Water

Show this to as much peoples as possible. It probably something some informed/smart people already know, but I admit that having someone making a video of it, makes it more “rememberable”, so more effective on (my) future behaviour.
I’m cheese? I’m controllable through videos? Possibly, but in this case I’m OK with that.

Why iPhone still ruleZ

I’m going to make a simple point. And because people that know me think I’m a “unfair-Google-aficionado-that-doesn’t-see-how-evil-Google-is”, I’m going to use Android as victim here.

“Bidirectionally multiplied” array
about 7 months ago - No comments
Another small problem before I go to sleep tonight:
There is an array A[N] of N numbers.
You have to compose an array Output[N] such that Output[i] will be equal
to multiplication of all the elements of A[N] except A[i].
For example Output[0] will be multiplication of A[1] to A[N-1] and Output[1]
will be multiplication of A[0] and from A[2]
