Push me to the Limits

Have you ever heard from this old Scarface Song watched by more than 20 million people?

(I must write the Link character by character because the wordpress java script interface doesnt let me do that. FU javascript)

At some point in an open source project you must to decide you what  want to be in an open source project as a single person you work for.
To the profesionals or to the audience.

I spend limitless nights the last years to give support and no one give me a thanks from the non-professional people.
I want to show a list with people here there use me as a tool – but dont do this in respect of privacy.

The point is i want bring the project to a professional level an no support for the public anymore. But this sounds impossable because 99% of all developers here  are not real developers.  I try to deal with that all the years. But as patient every week in a chest pain unit let me say – time is too important to give 2 days support to a people that answer me again and never say thank you from the bottom of its heart.

shame on me i do the same in my work – find a quick solution and never think about the guys there made it while copy code from codeproject or download code from XY. YOU DO THE SAME!

This is the end….

This is the end…my good old friend. Anyone remember for this Song[The Doors]? At this day, i dont not contribute or support NetOffice any longer.
I want keep existing Code alive and support even to very first version NetOffice 0.3.  I want to support and i want bring out the final last version NetOffice 1.7.4 – thats it.
I  want to change that in 31.12.2017(European Date Version)  – in 2018 this project is no longer contributed.

*my best project ever – but its over when its over(Rocky Balboa)

Codeplex shut down now – whats next?

Microsoft is genius – disable an idea by stop the support and bring technicial difficulties into play – in time.
After 3-4 years just say there are only few hundred users anymore – YES because you want it so Microsoft!
There is no new source code for years on NetOffice because Codeplex stop to support SVN code commits in 2014 – do you know that? Yes i know git is nice but i’m happy with SVN as the one and only comitter. So git resolve problems i dont have. ( I’ve been tried to find a friendly alternative to Ankh SVN in git but i failed – the last wast Atlassins Source Tree but this software want calling home or doesnt works.)

So, i want support the code on github now with Caio Pete and Josef Izso(two fabolous guys) and commit new versions, Josef helps me here to have actual code right now on github.
But i dont like github. I give support only on codeplex as long is possible. For the future you have to contact me on my mail addresses public.sebastian[eetx]web.de or microschuft[eetx]hotmail.com

As codeplex has been started i feel young,  now i feel old(as a developer).
At this time a big thanks to my former friend Matthias Viehweger(kronn.de) in Germany. He helps me to find good documentation and translation in year of 2008 for the NetOffice idea.
Most of the documentation in NetOffice – its him.

So codeplex is dead, but what about VSTO?

 

 

 

 

Why i dont want to have donations in NetOffice

In 5 years now, a lot of people(okay maybe 10) ask me in the discussions how i can make a donation by giving money and i say no sir!

Here is why:

I like to have a personal playground. As a professional developer i must do things i’m not happy with, for the time for the money for the customers or whatever.
Few years ago a senior developer give me adivse “Dont be in love with your project – never”  One of the best suggestions ever in my life(i didnt realize this at this time in age of 19)
But i want to have everything perfect(because this is my character – some people say i need a doctor – be fair and dont ask my ex-girlfriends)
The real life for a pro developer isn’t very perfect,  you must bring imperfect solutions and see how a customer make money with bullshit you give him and you ask yourself how this world can be happen.

Summary:
So the professional developer life is my yin and the open source projects is my yang. I can do everything what and when i want – here is my love in a good place.
And if i need a break for few weeks i can do that.(I’m also sick of NetOffice sometimes but after 1-2 weeks i want have it back again with full power)
Now imagine the scenario people spend me money, someone need help and spend me money and i’m in holiday/break means not responsable. These is the scenario i fear because its not fair.
When people paying money to you this means you have a contract – legal or not. This is a grant/general promise i can not give.

Bye Bye Hotmail Web Interface

Heute hat Microsoft offensichtlich umfangreiche Änderungen an Hotmail(sie nennen es jetzt Outlook Live oder so)  vorgenommen.

Ich kann mich mit akzeptablen Script/Sicherheits Einstellungen nicht mehr im Browser anmelden.
Zum Glück gibt es genügend freie gute Mail Clients mit SMTP und Pop3 Support.

DANN HALT NICHT !

(Was ich immer sage: Um richtig Schaizze zu bauen braucht es einen Inder)

The ultimate Javascript nightmare – Stackoverflow

Stackoverflow.com is one of the greatest source information for a developer when you search for a problem.
But there is no chance for me to use this sites for postings because its a security nightmare.
Limitless scary third party domains here you have to give access for JS to do anything.
NO WAY! (This is what QA is about)

Why so many developers-in mind- trust them?

And WPF is still bullshit

Today i create some new trial solutions based on WPF with some new PC’s.
The WPF reactive response in compare with Windows Forms is terrible.
Windows Forms is soo much faster!. (I dont need designer binding stuff, Xaml and kind like this)
Imitating WPF behavior in Windows Forms is easy with some wrapper classes.

WPF looks more beautiful, thats all.

 

The real hard way

Yesterday, i ve been visit a developer conference in Athens and speak about the C++ managed/umanaged scenario.(MS C++ is the only language there can handle both scenarios twices in a simple method anyway-fulll control)

Some people ask me why you so angry about MS? and why you still works as a developer in Microsoft Environment?
Go away if you dont like!

Thats a realy good question what i find.

My answer is as follows:
I’m a developer in MS technologies sience 1999(as a professional in age 19) and at this time, the tools are good, better as today, the ideas was good and the spirit was good. (good means good at his time of course…. no match for today) Today i see the quality is lower and lower, and dont believe in the service software strategy what the Microsoft Marketing so call it “Cloud”.  So it is easy to left off but i dont want – i just hate Cloud and JS  and all this Money Money Money scenario. Imagine: If 1000 developers left off MS doesnt care, if the same 1000 developers still stay and scream “WE DONT WANT IT” this can be the start of a real movement. I generaly miss some critical comments in the microsoft developer world. all MS dev bloggers, it-newspapers find everything totaly good, the microsoft world seems to be sooo happy – is this your real world as a developer? Not for me…

So i dont left Microsoft, i just say “NO” to the “Cloud” – this is more hard as just left off the MS environment.  Excuse me for “my crazyness” in the future.. it is because i want to be as loud as possible because it seems to be i’m alone.

 

 

 

Stalin hatte recht

Vom Genossen Stalin ist bekannt das er Todesurteile immer gerne vor dem schlafen gehen unterzeichnet hat. Dazu hat er dann Bemerkungen angezeichnet “ist nicht genug – nur toten reicht nicht”. Danach ist er dann friedlich schlafen gegangen. Ich verstehen zumindest jetzt seinen Standpunkt etwas besser. In einer gerechten Welt wurde ich Nadja Sadella in meinem Keller elendig zu Tode foltern und das ware immer noch nur 1% von dem was er verdient hatte. Und so lege ich mich nun friedlich schlafen – trotz der Moglichkeit der Exekutive und im Geiste bei Joseph Stalin.

Wieso ich Human Resource hasse

Aus der Abteilung Bewerbungsgespräche für Developer:

Warum ich Human Resource hasse und lieber mit dem Chef persönlich sprechen will.

Zunächst mal nach meiner persönlichen Erfahung. Ich bin ein Developer und damit Tiefstapler. Ich erwarte immer das geringste und bin aus Prinzip pessimistisch. Das ist mein Charakter und daran kann ich nichts ändern. Human Resource Ameisen sind da ganz anders. Die gehen davon aus das man immer übertreibt maximal übertreibt(und lügt).
Männer zu 50% und Frauen zu 20%. Das ist ein grundlegendes Missverständniss. Ich hab schon ein Ego aber ich schätze mich immer auf das geringste ein. Das ist etwas was Human Resource Mitarbeiter nicht verstehen. Ich erachte es als eine Qualität für mich als Entwickler immer nur die Mindestmenge zu versprechen aber die Optimalmenge bestenfalls in Aussicht zu stellen. Und ich kann es immer gut begründen aber da das interessiert HR Mitarbeiter für gewöhnlich schon garnicht mehr.
Da rede ich doch lieber mit jedem anderen als so einer externen HR Ameise.

Für andere Berufszweife mag das HR Prinzip funktionieren, für Entwickler bestimmt nicht.
(Was ich heute als Entwickler weiss ist eh egal, wie gut bin ich morgen noch wenn es was neues zu lernen gibt wäre entscheidener. Ich hab noch keine Firma getroffen ob gross oder klein die daran mal einen Gedanken verschwendet hat. Solange das so bleibt wird sich auch nichts ändern)
