Project vs. Product work

There is no work quite as soul destroying as trying to replicate an error. That's why I'd choose project work over product work any time. With product work, when a client in Alaska gets an obscure error - you have to try and simulate it. This can take hours and hours. And the end result isn't nice code and a functioning program, the end result is a BUG. Only then can you get back to creative work by fixing the bug.

When you are doing project work and something goes wrong, you've got access to the production server. It's muuuch easier to solve the problem.

So, if I could choose between product or project... bring on the project.

Moleskine
Ever heard of a moleskine? I haven't until today. A lot of people are raving about it. I'd really like to get one (or two or three), but I haven't found anyone that sells them in Cape Town. I'll have to do some more research...

Harry in trouble (again)

Prince Harry has done it again. The world is up in arms about Harry wearing a nazi uniform at a costume party. Yes, he was waaay out of line with this one, but if I were in his shoes I'd do some dumb sh!t as well. Only to show the world that I'm not a puppet there for their entertainment. Imagine being born into the royal family? Sounds like the Truman Show if you ask me.
