Принципи и поуки ...

Пореден номер Принцип или поука
1 Едно е да си баеш на себе си и на другите, второ да знаеш какво искаш , трето наистина да го искаш , четвърто е да знаеш как да го направиш , пето да можеш да го направиш , шесто е наистина да го направиш , седмо да не съжаляваш че си го направил 
2 Не си въобгъзявай. Правиж не само себе си , но и останалите на гъз. 
3 Не лъжи – така или иначе истината излиза наяве своевременно. 
4 Изправи се и горе главата. Не бъди надменен а горд. 
5 Мисли тук и сега и действай според реалността, но знай че успешното бъдеще иска стратегическо планиране. 
6 Не кради. Ако крадеш , значи не го заслужаваш. 
7 Ако не обичаш и пазиш себе си, няма да имаш сили да обичаш и пазиш хората които обичаш около себе си. 
8 Не е важно да спечелиш всяка една битка. Важното е да си победител във войната на живота 
9 Когато бързаш без да мислиш и си стресиран, малките препъни-камъчета правят големи поражения
10 Виртуалният свят оправлява физическия, но той е нищо като му дръпнат шалтера
11 Не бъди по-краставичар от краставичаря. Ако няма какво да кажеш си мълчи като индианец. Като мълчиш не ги гледай във очите. 
12 Черната овца никой не я обича както и да мечи или да се опитва да смени козината 
13 Сдраво тяло, здрав дух. Можеш да разбереш колко е безценно здравето чак като го изгубиш. 
14 Когато има междуособици във тима, не говори за личности а за обстоятелства и проблеми 
15 Не се критикувай пред останалите, още по-малко не повдигай темата за твоите грешки … 
16 Голмайсторите от чужбина ги търпят само докато правят голове, когато престанат ги ритат първи извън терена
17 В живота побеждават тези които могат и да губят
18 Една злоупотреба с алкохол може да ти струва от 15 дена до цял живот работа или дори живота. За наркотиците дори не си струва да се говори
19 Когато много ти се иска да кажеш нещо и да прекъснеш остананалите изчакай
20 Когато делегираш на някого нещо гледай да не започне да си прави каквото иска … а каквото трябва. 
21 Ако казваш на другите :“ Не прави каквото аз правя а прави каквото аз казвам“ си въобгъзяваш и правиш не само другите а и себе си на гъз … 
22 Защо пък трябва да се харесваш на останалите след като болшинството от тях така или иначе не те харесва и няма и да си променти отношението
23 Дойде ли момент когато списъкът ти от задачи стане много голям, може да започеш да си задаваш въпроси
24 Когато лайната ти стигнат до устата , горе главата !!!
25 Ако си сигурен че като кажеш нещо на слушащите те няма да те разберат или ефекта ще бъде 0 въобще има ли смисъл да си отваряш устата 
26 С викане няма да стане. Колкото повече викаш толкова повече няма да стане !!! Рови се по-дълбоко в окопа и стискай менгемето … 
27 Можеш да станеше лидер на нов успешен бизнес след разбереш възможността и убедиш хората които ще участват в него и действително го провеждаш така че всички да са доволни

28 Преди лайното да се удари във вентилатора започва да мирише … Помисли си докога има смисъл да стоиш във стаята на действието
29 Не показвай на другите без причина колкото си успял – завистта пречи при уреждането на взаимните работи
30 Ако някой ти губи времето разкарай го учтиво така че да не остане засегнат
31 Многото псувни и простотии и твърде цветистия език издават лъжеца и блъфьора
32 Когато съотборника ти се представи добре похвали го на всички и в никакъв случай не си предписвай неговите заслуги
33 Силата на участващите в разговора се разбира не по количеството на информацията изказана направо а по обема на неизказаното
34 Умението да мълчиш и слушаш когато другите говорят, е по-ценно от умението да говориш
35 If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader
36 Less is more
37 Щастието което човек може да получи от тялото си е като количеството вода в една чаша. Всички пороци изразват чашата само по-бързо. Лама Оле
38 Ако не си извадеш резервен ключ навреме ще изгубиш много нерви и усилия като изгубиш оригинала
39 When you define a task spent some time to define the deliverable as well. Make sure the person the task is given understands the deliverable. Make sure you can control it during the delivering process
40 Редовните тренировки поддържат добрата форма, но пренапъването поражда мускулна треска
41 First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. Gandhi

how-to configure textpad for ctags and findtag

The purpose of this “hack” is to provide web-like navigability to the source code, so that with Alt + right arrow and cursor positioned on an meta token instance (the instance name of function, variable, method etc. in a programming language) the cursor will jump on the definition of this meta token instance. For example in Perl if there is an object call of a method ($objectName->nameOfMethod( $optionalParams) when having the cursor on “nameOfMethod” and pressing Alt + right arrow the file having the definition of this method will be opened and the cursor positioned on that very definition. Respectively with Alt + left arrow one could navigate back from the place he came from.
This functionality is provided the open source ctags.exe executable, written by Darren Hiebert, supporting 33 languages (their meta data and structure) and contained as part of many Linux distributions. The stand-alone executable should be placed in a folder of the Path environmental variable and the following commands configured:
Command name: Generate ctags database
Command: cmd.exe
Parameters: ctags.exe -R -n --fields=+i+K+S+l+m+a
Initial folder: $FileDir
This command with generate the database for ctags.exe, containing all the meta names of the current code base , recursively by including selected extension fields of the code base. This command could be assigned with any shortcut in the TextPad interface (herewith Ctrl + 6 used)
Command name: Jump to tag definition
Command: C:\Path\to\findTag.exe
Parameter: -file $AppWnd $File $Line
Initial folder: $FileDir
This command could be configured with the Alt + right arrow as explained above.
The command to return back to the point where this command was issued is:
Command name: Tag Back
Command: C:\Path\to\FindTag.exe
Parameters: -back
Initial folder: $FileDir
This command could be configured with the Alt + left arrow shortcut.
This configuration combined with the Textpad’ s inbuilt “find in files” feature and the “FuncJumper” introduced bellow makes the navigability of even large projects, containing 20 or more source files under different folders with approximately 100 lines per file fast and easy.

Ready for the cloud !!!

I just finished the implementation of the Deployment strategy of my current C# , MSSQL 2005 / 2008 project ... Thus one presentation layer to one database a full dev , test , qa , sox , fb and prod production deployment is fast ... really fast ; )

So far the configuration data is in an excel - e.g. the forking of the environments requires the addition of a new Excel row ...

So this is not too far away from a massive cloud roll-out - at the end all the needed configurations per a worker instance or whatever logical running thing could be retrieved in a tabular format ... This means just an additional template creation , and regeneration of the template ...

Btw. space matters in templates .. I learned it the hard way ..
