Mar Rodriguez

Jesus died for somebodys sins but not mine
Meltin in a pot of thieves
Wild card up my sleeve
Thick heart of stone
My sins my own
They belong to me, me

People say beware!
But I dont care
The words are just
Rules and regulations to me, me

Song and Lyrics: Patti Smith, Horses (1975)

Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn

..
suburban dreams, just out of reach
work till you die, thats what they teach you at school
with that in mind, whats there to lose
..
this one way system it ain’t, ain’t paradise
not everybody wants to race, wants to fight
..

Keep It Simple, Sir or the Second Principle of Software Development.

I keep forgetting that this second principle is the best way to approach and solve other problems and
generally the fastest and best way to find a solution is very simple. We tend to forget which steps and in which order we have to take. There are many methods and tools out there, one of my preferred is Simplex and it goes like this.

1. Problem finding
2. Fact finding
3. Problem Definition
4. Idea Finding
5. Selection and Evaluation
6. Planning
7. Selling of the Idea
8. Action

Funny song from Frank Black, former singer and leader of Pixies and it goes

“I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zone
But what can you tell them
What can you say that wont make them defensive
Hang on to your ego
Hang on but I know that youre gonna lose the fight.”

Lyrics by Frank Black
