Learn programming tips each other

A coder writing some code

A coder writing some code

Like Ian wrote at this entry The freedom to learn new things, we’re always learning new things. It’s a really important thing working in this industry and can’t improve our products without it. Umm, let me tell you my feeling. It’s really fun, isn’t it!?

Today I’ll tell you one example of what we do. We did a programming event to show everyone how you write some code.

A coder writes some code. Another people watch it and ask some questions to the coder. That’s it. Quite simple. This process can help us to learn how another programmers solve problems or what kind of a productive programing environment does the coder use.

The picture above is our friend’s code. He is a great programmer so we all could learn lots of things during his coding. Thanks!

And one another good point of this event, we can get tons of cookies and chocolates. :P

Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite 2 Review

HHK Lite 2 and Apple Wired Keyboard

HHK Lite 2 and Apple Wired Keyboard

Happy Hacking Keyboard is known as a great keyboard for programmers and three of our team members use it. Mine is HHK Lite 2 English Black, Ice’s one is HHK Lite 2 Japanese White, Har’s one is HHK Lite 2 Egnlish White.

I used it for the last 2 years and thought yes it’s the best keyboard ever, if you want a small one especially you use it with Emacs or Vi. Definitely, the professional version is much more comfortable but it’s REALLY expensive. Someday I want it.

OK. I said it’s great. But only one thing I can’t stand for the HHK. It’s a location of “~” mark. It’s on right top of HHK and ESC is on left top. It always confuse me when I switched from build in keyboard on MacBook Pro to HHK. To prevent this problem, I was looking for another choices but no any alternatives I could find.

Now I’m using an Apple Wired English Keyboard. This one is borrowed from Har. He has two! After this trial, I may switch to an Apple Wireless English Keyboard due to the “~” problem. This keyboard is also nice and looks cool if you use with an Apple mighty mouse like me.

Anyway, HHK is one of the best keyboard worth try if you don’t care the “~” key.

Debugger in nature

I met a debugger in nature at our office balcony on November 7th, 2008.
She(or he) was hiding at the balcony and keeping debugging for our office.
From that time, she joined us for a debugger.
She debuged everyday(…. sorry not everyday…, I often forgot to feed her….).
I debbuged everyday.
Debug! Debug!! Debug!!!
