Last Saturday evening-night my wife an I wanted to listen to some CDs from my collection. The only device I have that was able to play them (commercial ones, the CD-Rs were mostly unplayable) was my old Macbook Pro from 2008. I still need to find a second hand CD player for our living room.

We have recently welcomed the new member of our family, Humo. He is very good and a fast learner. Humo is from Albacete, Spain and he is already making lots of friends in our neighbourhood 😍

Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton coined the term “software engineer.” She directed the Software Engineering Division at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab & led development of the on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Guidance Computer. She was born #OTD in 1936 & turns 90 today! #WomenInSTEM

Two side-by-side black-and-white photographs of pioneering computer scientist Margaret Hamilton (born August 17, 1936). The left panel features a mature, close-up portrait where Hamilton gazes directly at the viewer with a serene, confident, and reflective expression, framed by her long, dark, slightly silvering hair. The right panel is a famous archival photograph showing a younger Hamilton standing indoors next to a towering stack of bound paper binders containing the Apollo Guidance Computer source code, which she led the development of at MIT. She is smiling broadly and wears a striped, long-sleeved mini dress with dark Mary Jane shoes and glasses, resting her hand proudly on top of the massive column of printed code. The overall composition contrasts her youthful triumph with her enduring legacy, capturing an optimistic, intellectually rigorous mood that highlights her monumental contributions to space exploration.

I've been away from social media lately (refreshing!). I prob expect to see more movement on socials in September, time for the hiring market to activate again after the holidays. I think there are still many upsides to hiring experienced and veteran people. One of them are their history knowledge.

Just came across this morning with a picture of a paper prototype for a Sound Design tool I worked on during a HCI course in Uni (circa 2010). Stepping away from a computer for designing tools is refreshing and eye opening to gather feedback. Great memories and learnings from that period!

I had my first phone interview for a programming job in games in 2007, months after graduation. This was with a (now defunct) company in the UK. They sent me a coding test and I didn't pass because of lack of exp, didn't know enough C++, etc. Good interview and test, I have good memories from it!

Wife and I went to see Nolan's The Odysee during the weekend. Clapping happened at the end of the movie. It seems stoicism is very popular (again) these days. I need to learn more about it - also got some good recommendations from friends lately.

People who know me are aware that I'm not a huge football fan but I couldn't miss Spain victory at the World Cup yesterday. IMO it was good example of how the combination of different, sometimes dissenting views, help unlock success. Huge congratulations to the team for a well deserved victory! 👏

Team brilliance won over dazzling individualism to secure the World Cup for Spain. Functioning, wholesome multiculturalism also got a share of the glory. Football overcame, only just, the rabid commodification that almost killed its spirit. www.theguardian.com/football/liv...

This morning I've realiSed I've been probably making dad jokes for more than a decade now, and I'm not a dad. Go figure. Anyway, really looking forward to starting my weekend in a few hours. Sister-in-law gets married later today 🥳
