Been a while since I wrote on my blog, need to do this on a more regular basis...
So, at work we've finally started the move towards Visual Studio. It will be a long process to do, since all our software is written in the Borland IDE. I'm normally not a fighter for a specific compiler environment, but I can say that I do not like the Borland environment at all.
Perhaps it's Delphi, perhaps it's Borland itself. But I can never get the IDE to do what I want it to do, and the debugger in Borland is lacking when comparing it to the Visual Studio one.
The biggest challenge now will be to create the same functionality in Visua Studio that we had with the Delphi components from Borland. Although we will not achieve the same "lazy-mode", I'm pretty sure we can fine-tune our own DLLs and use then inside the .NET framework to make new cutting-edge applications.
This new Visual Studio 2010 looks promising. The new look&feel makes it more enjoyable to work in it then the previous versions. Only downside for me at the moment is the lack of intellisense in the C++ environment. During the Beta2 it was not present, and this is severly lacking for some operations. I really hope Microsoft puts it back in at some point.
I've also made some changes to my Blog. No more Anonymous comments from now i'm afraid. Too much moderation work of spam and unwanted ads on the blog. So if you wish to comment, you'll have to make an account I'm afraid.

Money grubbing World
So,
I've gotten in some sort of mess at the moment.
I'm someone who makes decisions based upon his feelings. I always try to think things rationally through, but in the end after putting everything on a single line, I let the final call be made by my guts.
So in a rash moment I decided to resign my current position and apply elsewhere. This "elsewhere" was with Epsilon Minded, because the guy I spoke with gave me a good impression. When I announced that I would resign at BigBrother; we had a series of conversations and long chats and in the end decided that i'd stay.
BigBrother Security is a company that cares about it's employees. That listens and is open for input. This is something I learned out of this and it makes me feel good that I'm appreciated inside the company.
Epsilon Minded on the other hand doesn't seem to understand this. Although I have signed the contact, I asked for a termination with mutual consent. But this doesn't seem to be much of an option. Apparently there are people out there who don't care about the feelings of their employees or other person's and only care about $.
Don't take me wrong, i'm not as naive to think that we live in a pink world with rainbows. The truth is far from it. But I personally find it sad that we live in a world where a Company takes legal action against a small person instead of simply terminating the contract mutually and end up as friends for possible future partnerships.
No, they go after whatever money they can smell.
A sad example of how human society has evolved....if you can call it evolved. Just looking at television or the news demonstrates how sad we as human beeings are. Human civilisation's highest peak? Trust me, we are far from it. We are a sad species that preys upon each other.

Tsunacon 2010
Right,
so my friends asked several weeks ago if I'd join them to Tsunacon2010.
I've never been to a Con before regarding Manga&Anime, and I've heard stories about other Cons before, so I was a bit reluctant to go at first.
But I ordered the tickets and kinda forced myself to join the Con. And you know what? I didn't regret it one bit. I even managed to find a nice item to help me create a cos-play costume for one of my roleplay characters from the Moira Empire.
Been looking for fox ears quite some time, that actually looked nice and cute insteadof realistic. So I managed to buy a headpiece that covers the whole head and ears and has these 2 nice fox ears attached to it.
There's pictures taken of me wearing the foxhat, but haven't gotten my hands on it yet. As soon as I manage to get them I'll post them on my facebook page.
