  • About… Fuck… Over a decade ago, I was working on a Windows CE handheld and as we were coming all from Linux, we decided for the newly released QML Qt port

    It was an absolute nightmare…

    I found 3-4 people worldwide having the same problem with the port.

    2 russian, 1 Chinese and I sadly don’t remember the last one

    We were all in the same forum trying to exchange with translations tools available.
    Until we found out, that the original contributor made its folder structure part of the Qt build system and you needed to build a path of nearly 20 fucking folders to cross compile this shit

    I’m still emotionally connected to my fellow coders, who were just as confused as I was, and I never found this situation again

    But it brought me back to the early days of the internet and I really enjoyed it

    Edit: as I’m getting old, it could have been more than a decade…


















  • My now sadly deceased cat was a fucking genius
    But I’m not…he tried to tell me stories, but I never really understood what he meant

    Single moews were easier to interpret, as he had a range of “hell yes” to “fuck off”

    From young age I always tried to use the same words for things, and when this was established, I started combining them.

    He was very much aware of what I was saying, when I sticked to our vocabulary and would act accordingly - sometimes by complaining, that he didn’t do anything and I’m in the wrong.

    Was (and still is) a fucking hard time losing him …
