Published by under Mobile,Personal

I’m a geek. I’m even a geek that try to stay organized, so I like to know that my data are backed up and available wherever I am. I see I still get some traffic from Google on a post that’s really not relevant any more, so this is sort of an update to that.

Abstractions always leak

Published by under Development,Java,Personal,Web

A quote of a quote in a InfoQ article on the release of GWT 1.5:
Key point: GWT gives you a lot of leverage, but it isn’t intended to be a “walled garden” in any way. Abstractions always leak, so it’s better to embrace that fact. We intentionally make it easy for you to punch through [...]

Incremental migration

Published by under Development,Java,Personal

Martin Fowler has an article about Incremental migration. Just goes to show that by dividing problems into smaller increments you will get benefits in most situations. It is important to have the mindset to always look at how you can break a task into simpler parts. Not as easy always, but important.

Documenting and testing the browser

Published by under Personal
