Nihongo ni juu, is on tonight. I have been spending a bit of time on the verbs this week.

Watashi wa hoteru e kimasu. Watashi wa keisatsu e kimasu.
Watashi wa sensu wo kaimsu.

If you look at Ruby and Python from an Java/C++/C# developers view, the differences are really not that significant at all. The advantages/disadvantages you find when using either of these languages will be more or less the same.
If you directly put Ruby and Python side by side, however, you will find some huge differences in the way their designers see OOP and programming in general.
At first the dev team laughs, praying it is a joke. Then you realize it isn’t a joke and the whole team starts talking amongst themselves about how this will never work. Finally someone gets the nerve to tell their manager that there is no way this can be done. At first the manager tries to encourage everyone, give a pep rally and buy everyone some cookies. After the first month, a couple more people come forward and say the same thing, but the manager won’t take it any higher, knowing that the business has already set the date, the CIO has promised and there is no way he is going to be a messenger of doom.
Everyone starts working way too much overtime and accomplishing far too little due to stress, fatigue and low morale. Month 3 comes along and naturally it isn’t ready. The business is pissed off, the CIO is furious, the lowly manager is wondering what went wrong. The dev team is ready to quit.

How I (color blind person) see the world!

This article explains colour blindness really well and uses pictures to do so. I try to test the colours schemes and images for colour blindness (there is a website that does this). If any have escaped and I don’t know about it. Let me know and I’ll fix it.
Ah Cool.

My uncle says ‘lets watch the news, otherwise how do we know if we have been invaded’ which leads to the joke ‘oh the isle of mann took us over by phone’. Missing home today. The downside of living in the foreign land of munster. My uncle doesnt have the internet or a computer, otherwise it would be hi paddy.
