Making Time for Side Projects: A Daily Habit

I’ve been cultivating a daily side project habit. Each and every morning, I do something to push my side projects forward — even if I only have 15 minutes to spare. I’ve seen great results, so far. And I’ve learned that a small, focused task, done daily, beats a sporadic effort every time.

• Visual C++ for Linux Development

Today we’re making a new extension available that enables C++ development in Visual Studio for Linux. With this extension you can author C++ code for Linux servers, desktops and devices. You can manage your connections to these machines from within VS. VS will automatically copy and remote build your sources and can launch your application with the debugger. Our project system supports targeting specific architectures, including ARM.

Chris’ First Laptop Love

Pismo

Pismo Lust

With cues from the iBook, Pismo implemented the cost-saving, streamlined unified motherboard architecture, with a 400 or 500MHz processor and 100MHz front-side bus. FireWire? Check. AGP graphics? Check. Airport? Check. Expansion bay? Check. Still cool 10 years later? Check.

In the field, a fresh 50 Watt-Hour Apple battery with a full charge yields up to 5 hours of use. Using two batteries can increase that to as much as 10 hours. Replacement batteries can boost that by up to 60%, for a potential 8 hours with one battery and 16 hours with two!

Slowing Down

• Is there a difference between expertise, comfort, and laziness?
• What if the new hotness looks downright cold?
• Do you have to follow the trends to be a current dev? Is there really such a thing as stagnation?

— Claim Before the I/O —

• I don’t think this IO will be about devices.

• So I’m really curious after this Google bash fest at the end ( ), is Apple or Microsoft any better?

• Google’s states of play

In Washington, Google is already a political behemoth. The tech giant spent more than $3.8 million to lobby federal lawmakers on privacy, patent and immigration reforms just in the first quarter of 2014, according to federal records. So far in the 2014 election cycle, the company also has donated $1.1 million to federal candidates.

FU

• Re-Thinking Google

• blackoutworm 1 day ago RE: Why does anyone NEED iTunes?

The only reason I would need iTunes on linux is for streaming tv shows.
Netflix and amazon\’s library is peanuts compared to itunes. Itunes has a lot of exclusives. Meaning shows that aren\’t and will probably never be released to dvd or bluray. As a linux user, I really hate that there\’s little to no DRM support here.

Can\’t get it working. Nor mp4s bought from my ipad. I really wish that\’ll change. As far as digital media go, linux is 10 years behind.

— SteamOS Annouced: Linux for the Living Room —

• The Steam Universe is Expanding in 2014

Last year, we shipped a software feature called Big Picture, a user-interface tailored for televisions and gamepads.
This year we\’ve been working on even more ways to connect the dots for customers who want Steam in the living-room.
Soon, we\’ll be adding you to our design process, so that you can help us shape the future of Steam.

• An XBMC like distro, based on Ubuntu 12.04

SteamOS will primarily be based off Ubuntu, as it has been Valve\’s focus ever since they started testing Steam for Linux. They already have a repository for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS users designated \”hometest\”, which is obviously short for SteamOS being tested in people\’s homes. This hometest repository has been around since April.

+ This will create a \"Steam standard\" that non-Steam distros can follow to garuntee compatability. 

• 30% of Steam Games have Controller Support

While 40 percent of all Linux games on Steam feature some form of controller support, that only amounts to 72 games total that are currently set up to work on a living room box running SteamOS

When Big Picture mode was launched last September, 23.7 percent of the games available on Steam were listed with full or partial controller support (382 games total). Of the games that have launched on Steam since then, about 48.4 percent have featured full or partial controller support (raising the total proportion of games in this category on Steam to 29.4 percent or 617 games total).

• SteamOS will stream games from Windows PCs

Not unlike the Nvidia Shield, it will include a method for wirelessly streaming games from your existing gaming computer to your TV, which Valve says will also come to the regular Steam client at some point in the future.

• Steam – ~60 million users
• XBox Live – 46 million users as of February 2013

• PlayStation Network – +100 million

• The dawn of a new \”Linux\”. Valve could change the meaning of Linux from \”scary to the average joe\” to the market saviour, open in the same sense of the \”internet\” being open and allowing for commerce.

The post Like a Hurricane | CR 21 first appeared on Jupiter Broadcasting.

On heels of our discussion of burnout Chris and Mike discuss a lead cause of burnout: a lack of focus. For developers, focus can mean a lot different things: raw concentration, choosing a single platform, or sticking with a project even when the grass looks a whole lot greener elsewhere.
