  1. A few good (but old) articles on information visualization http://is.gd/5G26Z
  2. Using words like "stuff", "thingy" and other placeholders for technical terms is neither efficient nor cute. Read IEEE Std 610.12-1990 NOW!
  3. http://is.gd/4YZjq I just love pragmatic cynicism!
  4. @keramida 1920x1200 is the resolution of my preference, but 24" monitor is needed for that. DVI connection is a must.
  5. @mperedim tcpdump is such a great tool and pairs perfectly with wireshark. I wish the latter had some extra features for visualization.
  6. The most ingenious resume I've ever seen: http://bit.ly/3oLnWJ (via @kvainas)
  7. Software optimization resources by Agner Fog http://is.gd/4xNVN Very good reference and a great companion along with Intel/AMD manuals.
  8. No luck (yet) trying to find cargo transport from Greece to USA at reasonable prices: I could just buy everything all over again.
  9. @mperedim somebody just played with PS1? Do not attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
  10. Consolas is a very appealing alternative to DejaVu Sans Mono for source code editing.
  11. @mperedim "Smashing the PO queue for fun and for profit"
  12. Happiness is hidden in small things: Feeling lucky because at the post office got queue number 256...
  13. @mperedim just trying to get the precise reason of your discomfort for bash replacement by provoking you. No bad feelings for Solaris here.
  14. Handy and impressive: Detexify LaTeX symbol classifier http://is.gd/4j6Rl (thanks to alf)
  15. @mperedim Indeed nobody should bother replacing the default shell on Solaris. Instead just replace the whole operating system altogether.
  16. @hakmem that reminds of the old saying "C gives you just enough rope to hang yourself. C++ gives you a thermonuclear bomb."
  17. Reading Peter Seibel's "Coders at Work". Amusing book: interviews of 15 world class programmers, sharing experiences and insights. Read it!
  18. @mperedim hm... so, how old was she? :P
  19. Statistically (based on two samples) I am 100% more effective debugging C++ memory leaks when I'm listening to Pink Floyd. DeMarco was wrong
