How To Call It A Day

This week hasn't been great for my productivity. It has been a series of days overshadowed by a series of things coming up. Between standing in line at the DMV, computer issues, and today helping my brother-in-law with a very sudden move, it feels like typing is an unfamiliar act. (Unless its on the T-Mobile G1, which I'll be reviewing this weekend.)

Today, I helped load a seventeen-foot U-HAUL truck, made a few last minute stops, drove said truck just over an hour south and helped unload it into a storage shed. I've never loaded and unloaded a complete truck in one day, in all the several moves I've made over the last years. I was always able to stretch them over two days, with a nice sleep in the middle. After all that, I had to drive the truck back to drop it off. I barely made it. My dear wife hit traffic on her way to pick me up, so I sat and I waited. I listened to the mechanic at the drop-off location declaring how "North Carolina is McCain country," which was informative of him. I enjoyed some Mike and Ike candies.

So finally getting home, eating dinner, and putting my son to sleep, I sit down at this familiar, glowing box. What code can I get out before its time to call a day? What debugging and planning can I get in before the consciousness must be suspended? How do I make use of what day I have left?

I did a lot today, even if I couldn't work today. Sometimes, knowing when to quit is the best productivity choice you can make. I'll see you in the morning, Internet.

CARDIAC: The Cardboard Computer

I am just so excited about this. CARDIAC. The Cardboard Computer. How cool is that? This piece of history is amazing and better than that: it is extremely accessible. This fantastic design was built in 1969 by David Hagelbarger at Bell Labs to explain what computers were to those who would otherwise have no exposure to them. Miraculously, the CARDIAC (CARDboard Interactive Aid to Computation) was able to actually function as a slow and rudimentary computer.  One of the most fascinating aspects of this gem is that at the time of its publication the scope it was able to demonstrate was actually useful in explaining what a computer was. Could you imagine trying to explain computers today with anything close to the CARDIAC? It had 100 memory locations and only ten instructions. The memory held signed 3-digit numbers (-999 through 999) and instructions could be encoded such that the first digit was the instruction and the second two digits were the address of memory to operat...

Statement Functions

At a small suggestion in #python, I wrote up a simple module that allows the use of many python statements in places requiring statements. This post serves as the announcement and documentation. You can find the release here . The pattern is the statement's keyword appended with a single underscore, so the first, of course, is print_. The example writes 'some+text' to an IOString for a URL query string. This mostly follows what it seems the print function will be in py3k. print_("some", "text", outfile=query_iostring, sep="+", end="") An obvious second choice was to wrap if statements. They take a condition value, and expect a truth value or callback an an optional else value or callback. Values and callbacks are named if_true, cb_true, if_false, and cb_false. if_(raw_input("Continue?")=="Y", cb_true=play_game, cb_false=quit) Of course, often your else might be an error case, so raising an exception could be useful...

How To Teach Software Development

How To Teach Software Development Introduction Developers Quality Control Motivation Execution Businesses Students Schools Education is broken. Education about software development is even more broken. It is a sad observation of the industry from my eyes. I come to see good developers from what should be great educations as survivors, more than anything. Do they get a headstart from their education or do they overcome it? This is the first part in a series on software education. I want to open a discussion here. Please comment if you have thoughts. Blog about it, yourself. Write about how you disagree with me. Write more if you don't. We have a troubled industry. We care enough to do something about it. We hark on the bad developers the way people used to point at freak shows, but we only hurt ourselves but not improving the situation. We have to deal with their bad code. We are the twenty percent and we can't talk to the eighty percent, by definition, so we need to impro...
