Gigu’s blog

Everyone know how hard it is to come back from holidays. I’m in the office but my head is all over the place. I’m starting a .NET project next week. It’s good to change a seat after few months of Java chair. I do like to do that. I’m trying to become more of a universal developer then a one platform expert. It might look like I will not be an expert in anything, just know something in all areas. The point is to adjust to new circumstances and learn fast to do the job right. I guess it’s being agile

I was at QCon two weeks ago in London. Only one day but I heard a lot. Most interesting were discussions that we had at ThoughtWorks exhibition stand. Martin Fowler and Kent Back spent some time talking about social skills in software development. Was good enough to listen to those guys plus we got the chance to ask them some questions

I came across gOS last week. Downloaded live CD and I gave it a go. I think I used to much to Gnome or KDE to learn another Desktop environment. gOS is using Enlightenment version DR17. It is a little bit different then Desktops I used to. The whole idea behind gOS is to somehow integrate and make it easy to use Google applications straight from your desktop launchers. I have to say that gOS desktop looks very pretty. Other then that I’m not impressed. Missing button for terminal window is just a crime that can’t be forgiven. When booted from Live CD I can’t mount my hard drive too for some reason. Officially it is still beta release. I will wait for proper release to give it a go.

As you can see, holidays still in my head. Thoughts everywhere. Slowly getting there.

Cheerios, Gregsteros
