The project I’m working on today allows users to type their own filenames. The actual file extension is added afterwards by my system. I needed to check that the filename itself is valid for Windows so I came up with this: Although it looks like crap that is still a valid file name. So then […]
I get a kick from making ringtones and notification sounds and my friends seem to enjoy them as well. I had an accident and deleted a bunch of them a few weeks ago and since then I’ve played with the idea of putting them all online so that I can have a live backup of […]

You followed your continuance in the hope that others would follow theirs. You didn’t do it for a reward or a pat on the head. The universe never tells us if we did right or wrong. It’s more important to try to help people than to know that you did. More important that someone else’s life gets better than for you to feel good about yourself. You never know the effect you might have on someone, not really. Maybe one cool thing you said haunts them forever, maybe one moment of kindness gives them comfort, or courage. Maybe you said the one thing they needed to hear. It doesn’t matter if you never know, you just have to try.
