So, I’m starting to live on DZone, I only found it a few months ago and it has become invaluable. There are always little opinion blogs, or tips. I enjoyed these few in the past months and def bookmarked them for later use:
Launchy – Yeah, I said I was installing it a few weeks ago. I freaking love it. It really doesn’t hurt my machine’s performance, and it saves me SO much time.
Mistakes of Female Freelancers – When I read the title I was so ready to leave another “punch you in the face” blog comment. Nothing gets me more riled than “Women can’t…” however this author makes some great points. The main one – confidence. See when guys criticize each other, they take it in real stride, meaning they usually ignore it. We, however, tend to internalize it, and take it seriously. Often, I find, that one person saying one bad thing about me can get me down on myself. We need to learn to listen, and evaluate other’s words (esp. the ones coming from men) and see what their motivation really is. If it’s meant to help you it’s being said in a way that teaches and supports you, if it’s being said in a way that is detrimental and made to get you to question yourself take it with a grain of salt. I, myself, have made it a policy to not listen to negative words at all, unless its feedback I’ve gotten more than once, then I will take a step back and take a good look, if I think it’s an area that I can work on than I do.
FACT – I love Yahoo Canasta. My grandma taught me how to play the real game and now I love the online version.
Awesome Read- I am awaiting the real book, but in the meantime I’ve started reading the online version and it is amazing. The guys at 37 signals are awesome in general, and this, so far, seems like the bible for Agile developers.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi. Will have big news later in the week, top secret. Tonight I was watching SatC reruns (not a HUGE fan, but being its retro and all) and I got this great quote:
“It’s very hard to walk in single women’s shoes, that’s why we need extra special ones every now and then, to make the walk a little more fun. “ -Carrie Bradshaw
I loved it. (PS the more I watch this show, the more I realize I really am the Miranda.)
Lastly, does anyone here develop in Vista? I am trying to decide the pros and cons. I would really like to hear from people that have experience.
Hello and Goooood morning Vietnan ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm start using Launchy about a year ago and since then my Start button on Windows became useless.
Well, I'm using Vista Business with VS 2008 and 2005. I have to say, sometimes it is a pain in the ass. Toooo much Do you really want to do this?, or
Hey, the program xyz.exe needs to be execute with administration privilegies. Continue ?.. and so on. (You can disable this, not recommended ;) )
VS 2005 you necessarily need to run as an administrator (even if your user is local/domain administrator).
VS 2008 is a little less complicated, you can run as a normal user. Sometimes you need to run as ADMIN (like when you need to attach to a process, or publish the website on IIS)
Conclusions: It's frustate when you start using Vista for the first times. But then you start using, and using and using, you start like it ehhehe. But I'm still saying some nasty words Bad Bad Vista
Waiting for the big news ;)
See ya !!
If u are Miranda...who am I?
