Sony and Amazon.com have both released handheld devices that are designed to replace paperback books.

Something tells me that this will not work. Why would I buy a $400 device to read a book on a screen. Personally I love to read and having a physical book is part of the satisfaction of reading. I can't imagine reading an entire book from a screen (even if it was less than $400!!!!).

Audio book format is more a reasonable idea to me. Occasionally I will listen to an audio book and I find it quite good, if the narration is done well. E-books are just to bizarre to me.

I feel sorry for both companies because I predict this will be a miserable failure.

I have to say that lately I have been really bad in posting. This month was just pathetic. I promise to return to a more regular posting schedule very soon!

I have decided to have a blogging schedule. So this is how it's going to be from now on. You should expect a post on this blog at least 2 times a week. Mondays and Thursdays are my blog days. So starting next Monday there will be some regularity here!

I will be away from the computer for the next 5 days. Trip to Montreal!

I just took a test on Doolwind's Game Coding Site

My programmer personality type is:
PHSB

You're a Planner.
You may be slow, but you'll usually find the best solution. If something's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

You like coding at a High level.
The world is made up of objects and components, you should create your programs in the same way.

You work best in a Solo situation.
The best way to program is by yourself. There's no communication problems, you know every part of the code allowing you to write the best programs possible.

You are a liBeral programmer.
Programming is a complex task and you should use white space and comments as freely as possible to help simplify the task. We're not writing on paper anymore so we can take up as much room as we need.

Datura Garden is back and alive again. It took me over a year to regain interest in doing something with this domain. I am now re-incarnating it as a blog about the web.

Learning about the web is one of my big passions, I hope that in this blog I will be able to share some of the things I know.

Blog Platform

I've decided to use the blog engine as a platform for this website. It is super simple to use, it comes with source code, so if I need to grow this site I can easily add or change things around (something that is very important to me).

A great thing about using already done platform and not starting one from scratch, as I always tend to do, is that I can focus more of my time on actually posting useful content.
