Yesterday’s Work
Freitag, 25. September 2009, 12:14 Uhr von Felix
When you are confronted with some piece of work of yours that has aged a bit already, something like Gosh! Was I so stupid back then?
might go through your mind. It can be embarassing and you might try to push these thoughts away.
I am not sure whether that is the right reaction. Maybe you should embrace these moments and pause to reflect on them. Sure, you want your work to be perfect just as I want mine. On the other hand, if I looked at something that I did one, two, three years ago and did not spot something that I would do different, would not that mean that I have not been learning anything since that point in time?
Do not judge yesterday’s work based on today’s ability. Do not feel bad about it. Instead, admire your progress. It is not that your work became worse, it is you who became better.

If you’re familiar with Linux, you probably know the ls
command. It lists the content of a directory when executed. Sometimes, when in a hurry, you might mistype it and end up with sl
.
A programmer named Toyoda Masashi created a program called sl
– an easter egg. If you install it and execute „sl“ by accident, a funny ASCII art animation will be displayed in your terminal. Diesen Beitrag weiterlesen »
5PRIME.com Relaunch
Dienstag, 15. September 2009, 22:06 Uhr von Felix
Some of you might have noticed – either I told you or you guessed it from my post frequency – that I have been working quite a bit during the last weeks. Today, the fruits of this work finally went online: we relaunched 5PRIME.com, my employer’s corporate website. Apart from the new design and improved usability, we have added, e.g., a new product line, some pages about application areas and an extended literature search.
Kudos to Marian, who created a little surprise that you might want to check out, and his buddy Kristian, for a nudge into the right direction when the two of us did not see the wood for the trees.
Just navigate to the homepage (you have to select your country first) and enjoy the video!
