I am currently a software engineer at Google, where as a member of the Android platform team I build frameworks and user interfaces.
The blog here at dsandler.org is mostly historical; you can find more recent posts on Google+.
Well, I do think it’s time.
I have enough preliminary material together to start a new comic
series, barely related to my old series, captain
jim. As soon as I have some more tidbits to share, I’ll set up a
site for the new endeavour.
New Year’s resolution? To make sure this new project goes
somewhere.
Not quite New Year’s here in Houston. (Good thing Starbuck’s is open
late.)
Stupid Graffiti tricks: if you’re sloppy writing “Starbuck’s”, it
comes out “Starbuck$”.
Scot Hacker follows up his
excellent article on OS X and BeOS.
Joel on how to get things done when you’re only a grunt.
Translated, this means “nobody’s going to look after your sanity but
you, and there are things you can do to create a little bubble of
productivity around yourself.” Here’s a great tip I learned at a previous job:
Come into work late and leave late. Those hours after the rest of the
company goes home can be the most productive. Or, if you’re on a team of
developers who regularly come in late, get into work at 9 am. You’ll do
more work in the two hours before other people come in and start
bothering you than you do in the rest of the day.
