You wake up one day

In most recent issue of Interactions there is an article by Aza Raskin on language command line. Aza postulates using the power of natural language and cross-application commands to enhance the usability of UIs. The flagship product of his company, Enso, shows exactly what he means.

Identifying an underlying principle helps. Once I know what I really want, I’m able to find more ways to achieve it. I’ve been thinking on business models of how to earn a living with own software company.

Steele and Sussman in their classic paper “Lambda: The Ultimate Imperative” mention a “gotophobia” which occured in academic world in early […]

An about page. A manifesto page. What to write?
My name is Tomo (well, actually it’s a nickname). I’m a software developer. It’s my profession and my passion. I write programs at work. I write programs in my spare time. I’m addicted to creating software. I can’t help it.
I’ve been programming since I was 13 or […]
