Recently I came across the ArsTechnica video series called War Stories which tells the stories of the people in the frontlines creating popular video games. I watched the episode about the 1985’s NES launch in the US which happened during a time were the customers were skeptical about video games and in need to be prooven that the games and consoles were worth expend their money on. The episode interviews Gail Tilden who was the Nintendo person responsible for advertising the NES in America.

I have spent some time looking around for a way to boot the SO from a SSD on an ODROID HC4 but apparently there isn’t a way to do it at least not without a keyboard. This video shows how to do it when you have a keyboard connected to the ODROID but since I don’t own a USB keyboard that is not an option for me. The option I found shows how to boot via the Micro SD but have the SO running from the SSD.

Testing Recently at Jyve we had an event where everyone shared their first concert. It was fun to see how everybody in the company literally had something to share of a concert they have been. The question itself: What was your first concert? Kind of caused a block on my brain. I couldn’t remember what was mine first concert. I started doing a trip down memory lane and even message one of my best buddies that I am sure was with me on my first concert.

I love when I look at some code that I have written a while ago and I have no relocation of it. But after a while looking at it, all the decisions I have made at the time do start to come back to me. I even start to remember the conversations I had with colleagues and product managers that lead me to decide to write the code. Sometimes I feel like I am reading my lines of code like one reads a novel and a story forms in front of their eyes.
