It’s heading for 1 am. About to shut down for the night, I carelessly copied over the whole folder of my current editing job in progress onto my USB stick, thinking that I’d be super efficient by having access to the files during the day tomorrow. Two seconds later I realized to my horror that I Continue reading Call me stupid 4 comments to Call me stupidIt’s not the name he would choose, and no one dares use it to his face, but with his empire in our street reduced to his wife’s chop shop, Bara has little left to show for himself except his frustration and his fists. Yet at the peak of empire, the ruler of Rue 103 was a Continue reading Bara the Wifebeater 3 comments to Bara the Wifebeater
The following is loosely based on a recent local political drama. I’m not going to give any clues because those who recognize it, don’t need them, and those who don’t should be grateful they didn’t witness it. “What do I look like?” he asked the TV.

Just in case you thought I was slacking off, I rewrote my “Don’t bow” post and got it published in today’s Jamaica Observer. If you want to see it, you’ll have to register for the E-paper version (free) because the normal online version does not publish the full paper. My bit is in the “Bookends” section. Thanks Continue reading Ria in print 2 comments to Ria in print

Very little comfort in such times, I know, but maybe a great occasion to find the motivation to invest some time in a proper versioning system :-)
When done properly, the day-to-day use of a versioning system is completely transparent (stuff gets checked-in on the versioning server, each time the application saves a new version) and will not only save your ass if any such problem ever occurs again, but also brings all sorts of advantages (such as universal access from places connected to the net, which is pretty much everywhere nowadays)…
Versioning: not just for code after all!
Ahhh, not that stupid…. I could have gone home at 12 today… Finished typing a ‘gespreksverslag’ which took me 3 hours to make. Deleted the whole thing, still don’t know how that happened.. So it happens to the best of us :-)

Have you ever considered adding more videos to your blog posts to keep the readers more entertained? I mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I’m more of a visual learner.
