Ro Movies

In the last couple of month, I watched some romanian movies:

• Eu când vreau să fluier, fluier - excellent
• A fost sau n-a fost - would recommend
• Poliţist, adjectiv - would not necessarily recommend
• WebSite Story - would recommend

Learning to code

When you have an old unfixed bug and a new one which you're trying to fix, and you are not quite sure if they're related but suspect so, chances are... they are (the second one is not that much of a bug but a side effect of your first). Do your best to fix the old (possibly lower priority) bug first. It may save you some time. It did for me today.

Never work around a workaround

Needless to say I learned it the hard way. The right approach should always be to remove the workaround and go the straight way.

The complexity has to go somewhere, either in the language, in libraries, or in application code.

Google reader on Opera glitch?

I've been using Opera (9.64, Linux) for a couple of days and I noticed something a bit annoying about the Google reader interface. A few seconds after I share an item and add a comment, the comment view turns bold - new comments have been made... But it's MY comment. I get excited over nothing :(. AFAIK, this doesn't happen with Firefox. I really need to check out google reader groups / support.

Later: It just happened under Firefox too. How to reproduce, how to reproduce...
