Software, Software Development and other Atrocities

This Blog is about Software and related topics. Here I write about the things I do and the things that happen to me, most of which have to do with software use and design. Favourite topics are social software, social networking and social aspects of software development. I am not a techie so do not expect code. Consider me a reflective user and observer who likes to write her thoughts every now and then.

In these dark rooms where I live out empty days,
I wander round and round
trying to find the windows.
It will be a great relief when a window opens.
But the windows aren't there to be found ---
or at least I can't find them. And perhaps
it's better if I don't find them.
Perhaps the light will prove another tyranny.
Who knows what new things will expose?
(Constantine Cavafy)

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
- From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
(Robert Frost)
