Jeff Atwood Interview
8 October 2007 in Links | Comments (0)

If there’s a blog worth reading, it most certainly its the Coding Horror from Jeff Atwood. I read it regularly, and I don’t remember anytime I regret that.

On that subject, I picked up this interview in DotNetKicks. It isn’t very extensive, but is a good read for any coding horror fan.

Reminds me of his .NET Rocks podcast. A must see.

My new iPod brought a new world attached
11 September 2007 in Links & Personal Experience | Comments (4)

I’ve never been the kind of guy that buys anything just because of its popularity. Being in a need for a new music player, I’ve decided to try an Apple player. I really don’t have a need for display, as so, I bought a new iPod Shuffle orange.

After some use, I have so much good to say about it, as bad. Resuming: I like a lot of the design, and the usability of the device. The bad part, iTunes lock-in (disgusting) and some of its particularities (the only way to see the battery status, its through a green light that corresponds to 30%-100%?).

All in all, I can live with it.

The thing that most surprise me, was Podcasting. I’ve been avoiding this for a long time, mainly because the only usable way, was to listen in the computer (which sometimes doesn’t worth the time).

With the iPod + iTunes solution, podcasting subscription is a very simple process. I can now enjoy great podcasts like .Net Rocks! and Livro dos Porquês (Portuguese) wherever I am.

Needless to say, this isn’t something only for iPod owners. But if you own a iPod, you will get the process so much easier.

There’s a new article on Code Project that I couldn’t help but link it here.

Zero Gravity

Zero Gravity is a new game created on Silverlight. I post this, not because games in RIA platforms is something new, but because it is the first public game available for Microsoft framework. Check this casual game here. 

The game is closed source, and was built using C#.

“The result is a fun game that has it all: animation, sound, video, quality gameplay, and over twenty levels of cosmic adventure.”
