Offspring Pride

Since showing off the fruits of your genetic material seems to be en vogue...

Daughter, Fien is 4 years -- Son Tuur is 2 and a bit.

Dead End. Last thing I heard: "They switched from Java to .Net" 4:45:53 PM    

Find-Click-Purchasing

So I was thinking: let's end this 'trial' thing here and now. After all I've had more then the $40 worth of fun by now (fun adds up fast in my model)

...Instead: I spent 25' looking for the continuation button or something of the sort 'proceed' | 'checkout' ... in the Mozilla 1.2.1 window I have.

Lucky me: Somehow I haven't managed yet to remove IE from my W2K system (Heck, I haven't even been able to remove the icon from the desktop) ....

I'm quite sure, that if I let the people at customerservice@userland.com know about this they will ship me a nice bottle (if they come in pairs, I don't mind) of wine to me, that would somehow add up even faster then fun...

On|Off

WellWadaYa... I'm actually considering to become a switcher. Hardware|OS can only make me so (luke-)warm so I'm not talking about the PC|Apple switch here... Still preparing my eclipse based Java course for next week and have to admit it's growing on me. I'm actually considering not to switch back to IDEA.

All this just because I'm dreaming about Forrest and Pollo plugins maybe (not an option in IDEA) In fact for

  • Forrest there is no real issue: using Ant I just ran the babe from within Eclipse... works like a charm.
  • Pollo I can probably keep on dreaming: The SWT|JFace threshold doesn't make this a natural fit, unless Bruno sees different after reading this.
By the way... Why is this we consider external tools not fun? not good? opposed to these plugging-ins being cool! and sexy! [That wouldn't be only Freudian, now would it?] 11:04:25 AM
