    It is true that big phones are popular here in Korea. It is not uncommon to have more than an hour in public transport to get to work, two hours happens quite frequently as well. S…

    The local operator does not seem to be taking enough responsibility for the work they are supposed to do. In Stockholm you can get your taxi fare paid for up to 400 SEK (~40 EUR) i…

    Definitely, I often catch exceptions and wrap them just to add more information from the try-finally scope. It is so frequently useful to get a full story of what the app was attem…

    My problems with shoulder and wrist pains all originate from stressful projects. When you sit entire days with your muscles tense, over and over again, that is when problems start …

    I have done code reviews in a scrum team setting. Often there are tasks that only one team member will implement, it would simply be too many chefs to have two developers on it, an…

    It was quite interesting and humbling to see how my university class mates could absorb so much of the mandatory C programming course in only 2 months. Stuff that I had taught myse…

    Reminds me how I use HPROF for profiling the JVM. It is my next step after doing the simpler (while sleep 1; do jstack PID; done) | grep -A 10 THREADNAMEPATTERN

    I bought a baseball cap today, because I sport a buzzcut and I'm temporarily working in a climate where the sun is burning. So I need it to protect myself from the sun. Could it be…

    I recently uninstalled DroidEdit because I had to handle more updates to it than uses for a text editor on my tab. This is mostly because typing without tactile feedback isn't that…

    I use www.glesys.se, they have hosting at two locations in Sweden, but also New York and Amsterdam. I'm quite happy with them for the 100 SEK i pay per month for some MFA sites.
