• Commented on An Arduino/Dancer-enabled mobile-enhanced door
  I've been playing with an Arduino lately, mostly with temperature/humidity sensors as well as the 3-axis accelerometer. One of my gripes, of course, is that I have to use C instead of some Perl. I saw there is an LCD...
• Commented on Truth about Booking.com
  Last summer I had the opportunity to fly out to Amsterdam and interview with Booking.com. I could say various things about the interview process, and specifically about the questions asked (yes, lots of MySQL questions, almost more than perl questions),...
• Commented on Extract Mail Adresses from CSV
  Not really what you are asking, but assuming you don't want to use some standard modules (Text::CSV) and don't want to validate your email addresses and that this isn't part of a larger program, you can do this right in...
• Commented on Post!
  I assume there is no restriction on what we blog about? Not that I am going to write about my cats or anything (they are pretty cute though) but I kept wanting to make some posts on some database work...
• Commented on Starting Euler
  Yes, I have flipped through some of the later ones but never really applied any mental energy to them so we will see how it goes. I could easily understand getting to that frustration point. Part of my idea was...
• Posted Starting Euler to wtgee

  Feeling like I need to do something besides $work with my perl, I have decided recently to start working through the ProjectEuler.net problems. One of the ideas I'm looking to explore is building a framework of sorts that will host all the problems and will…

  Just play their games: if you want challenging goals, I would suggest you, when you are allowed to write new lines of code, to design something which can potentially explode in the most amazing and weird ways in very particular conditions or if they are copied/pasted. Side effects should be your new catchword.

  Hi Friend.

  I read it today. This happens to me "MANY" times. This is because of the enthusiasm you possessing to learn more. It happened to me even for my last company(Currently I am working Self). What I learned is that , for the life you need money .For that you have to work (Most employers only bothered about the "BUSINESS" not bothered about employee or his interest).If you have enough money resign the job and do work for you (and learn what you want to learn. Now Google is there you can learn any new technology if you are willing to learn).
  Good Luck !

  I'm currently working on my CV, portfolio, and motivation letter so I can apply to Booking.com for the UX Designer position. I'm ok with the company having a bureaucratic environment; I survived nearly 13 years in the US military. If we could have fit in any more bureaucracy there, we would have made great honorary Volgons (H2G2 reference). Not to mention, the pay can't be any worse than my current pay for the same job. I always hear about how freelance work gives you more freedom, but in my experience working as part of a team is more conducive to an atmosphere of freedom. If hired,…

  Well, is it good or not good to work at Booking? And, if it's good, is good to move to Netherlands with family, is it sufficient to live in a good way and dreaming about the future of career and personal life?

  After a skim read I already think it's a bit of a cliche - it's not just Booking.com, this type of behaviour is present in many, many companies. That's why nothing beats working for yourself.
