Why do programmers like games

by Marius Gheorghe 25. November 2008 06:47

The fantastic element that explains the appeal of games to many developers is neither the fire-breathing monsters nor the milky-skinned, semi-clad sirens; it is the experience of carrying out a task from start to finish without any change in the user requirements.

Mouseless computing

by Marius Gheorghe 20. November 2008 10:36

I've been going mouseless for a while now and found a few tools which help a lot :

1. Firefox Mouseless Browsing addon - this addon adds a numerical tag to any link and you can type that id to click the link.

2. Winsplit Revolution - this allows you to resize windows using the keyboard.

3. UltraMon - besides being a GREAT multi monitor tool, UltraMon has shortcut keys which allow you to move windows between monitors.

4. MouseEmulator -  emulates mouse clicks and movement with the keyboard.

Keeping your data in the cloud

Here's something that can happen to anyone (and which is covered by Google's TOS). I pretty much agree with Stallman on this. If you still want to do this, at least back up your stuff daily.
