Professor Randy Pausch passed away this morning.

If you have not seen his video, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”, please do so.

Thank you for the inspiration.

I’ve just been “exposed” to this software requirement:

“No memory leaks shall exist. ”

I’m glad someone thought of this one!

Today we cycled to the Frankfurt Main airport, the second biggest airport in Europe. It took us quite a while to get there (~1h30) at a medium pace I would say. After watching a few landings and some takeoffs we went for food at a nearby biergarden and begun cycling back to Darmstadt (Griesheim). The map says it was 40 km but think it was more!

Seems one of the developers that was working on one of the modules asked what icons should be shipped with the software and the client said it wasn’t important so he ended up choosing some icons according to his own taste.. which is kinda cool because now I’m working on the software and have these funny icons on the desktop:

The guy didn’t use the default gray icon, he wanted something better and funny and not the minimum that can be gotten away with. By the way, the icon on the right is Frank Zappa.

We cycled to Ludwigshöhe Tower and then to Roßdorf via Ober-Ramstadt.
