Planetary Annihilation: TITANS
Good surprise on Thursday night! I finish my working day, go back to my room (just 10m from there), reset my Wi-Fi connection, check my e-mails, and what do I see?
A newsletter from Uber Entertainment, telling me that the stand-alone expansion of Planetary Annihilation was just released. Wait, what expansion? I never heard anything about it before, and it appears that I was not the only one. A nice surprise, then!
To stream or not to stream?
Is streaming legal in Germany?
That’s what I hear / read almost every day now. Why in Germany? Well, because I live there of course, but also because new incomers might have heard about the strong policy Germany adopted against illegal downloads. That thing can frighten you, your family, your cat and even your grandmother. Especially if you come from France, where Hadopi nicely warns you twice before repressing. So I can understand the question.
Legal or not?
How to talk to programmers
Some days ago, I found this image on the web:
Wow, someone who really understood programmers. That’s pretty rare! I particularly like the points 3, 5, and 8… Of course… 🙂
Just relax…
Sometimes, you have to take a break. You probably spend most of your time on a computer – or I don’t know how you arrived on this blog. But today it doesn’t work, you just lost your work thanks to a BSoD, or there is this new program which seems designed in order to make you angry, or the internet connection suddenly became slower than a snail on crutches, or you are just tired of looking at this screen 9 hours a day. In this case (and many others), a simple solution exists: just do nothing for two minutes. You are lucky, a website was designed to help you…
The ultimate tool
Some weeks ago, I explained you what was a programmer: an ingenious device which turns coffee into code. A very useful device actually, but which suffers from a very important issue: in order to produce code, it needs coffee, and it is unable to produce it by himself. Consequently, it must use alternative solutions like a coffee-maker, which often implies going back and forth to the machine and thus decreasing the productivity. Fortunately, engineers designed a very handy solution: the computer coffee-maker!
