It also says not to think too much, so I chose for that part & went for the experience. All these are important.

A bit on Ello & making friends
I wrote this on the Ello.co, spontaneous piece, but as writing something on a platform that has no reach (yet) is a bit senseless, it’s blog post time. One thing I really Really miss about modern day social networks is the social aspect of meeting new people. Most of the tools SUCK for that. ICQContinue reading “A bit on Ello & making friends”
A quick bit on Ello
There’s a new kid on the social media block and it’s called ello. Its minimalistic by design aesthetic and looks very smooth. Others say it looks clinical, and it’s been called the start of the Miserable Web. There’s a new kid on the block and the writers smell blood. Everyone is putting in their 2Continue reading “A quick bit on Ello”
Thinking about waiting for trains, online productivity tools, solutions & Smiles
Sitting in the station, waiting for the next train because I missed the previous one, what do you know, it was actually on time. I started wondering..

Whoever thinks of going to bed before twelve o’clock

Atlassian stack Frustrations
Most of these are rethorical questions since I know that most of the reasons are design flaws, oversight, money grab and similar constraints. Setting it for auto post in about a week! Why doesn’t Jira & Confluence integrate better? Like decent issue widgets without having to manually create rss exports in Jira. They feel likeContinue reading “Atlassian stack Frustrations”
H.R. Giger died today.
A sad day. Joining in on the chorus of sad Giger fans. It’s sad news, I wouldn’t have minded meeting the man some day and I’ve been planning on buying Giger art for a while now, but I’m guessing they will become unaffordable instead of just expensive, soon. I’m still very happy I went toContinue reading “H.R. Giger died today.”
Reading “Daemon”
Daemon. By Daniel Suarez. Interesting so far but it seems tech’d-up. All the techno babble is ok but nobody looks at hardware and says “it has a TCP/IP stack that enables to to interact with IP networks over this cat5 cable”.
