D-Week

This week is almost end and i liked how it went so far. For tomorrow we are preparing our old client to try out our freshly designed tool (an app). I could say that the natural trigger (or deadline feeling) works perfectly.  It turns out that people become a way more focused (of course) and i think a bit productive then before. Personally, i've got raised my emotional motivation to work harder. Working harder is not a something that could be continued for long period. I bet in our company its like maximum a week. Will see :)

Blog recovering and clearing a state of my mind

After few years of understanding the purpose of writing/publishing to Internet, finally i'v go some motivation/wish to do that. I see the continuation of this activity is way more natural that it was before. it feels like that from now i can write anything and its encouraging me to keep my thoughts clean by pulling off sometimes stupid, sometimes generic, sometimes unfinished ideas.

I would like to be clear with you a random reader, my initial goal is to write about anything helpful in general. The general set could consist of primarily with my occupation field area. Shortly saying, its still technical. For few upcoming articles i would try to discover all kind of testing styles and its correlation between clarity and easiness to add new functionality into code implementation (to be clear i am not meaning testing approaches). Moving on, i really interested in the design of distributed systems. The topic is so wide and deep so then i'll try to share as specific as possible. Also curios how people resolve an issues in one tech area that it could be adopted in another one and what kind of patterns or frameworks we can put them to simplify our newcomers.

Recapping into a short list, i would love to write about:

• testing styles in programming env with Ruby/Python examples and theres proc/cons;
• the design of distributed systems in theory and practice
• solution patterns across tech fields (the topic could sounds very general, but its good, more topics could fit into)

Later,
T.

p.s.

As usual, i'm too ambitious. Haha

Simple but must have Ruby knowledges

Yesterday I have been interviewed by some company and here is most interesting question that represents how deeply you need to understand Ruby lang.

Question was 'How does override class method using module in Ruby'?

For sure it should be done like this:

class Klass
  def self.say
    puts 'class'
  end
end

module FooModule
  def self.included base
    base.instance_eval do
      def say
        puts "module"
      end
    end
  end
end

Klass.send(:include, FooModule)

Klass.say # => 'module'

More explanation you can find here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9128515/how-to-override-static-class-method-using-module-in-ruby

And one more:

What is differences between module and class in Ruby?

Shortly says: module acts like libraries and provide function for classes, and classes are about objects.

Fix problem to apply new theme in ubuntu 12.10

Everybody knows that in ubuntu you can download theme and put into ~/.themes folder.

Problem is that how to apply it.

In Ubuntu <= 12.04 you should find "Advanced settings", but now

in 12.10 its called "Configuration tool" (found in Unity menu)


Good luck to apply new themes
