Code design

A few months ago I read about Tesla that he could vision entire technical drawings and designs in his mind's eye and while inspecting the design he could find flaws in it and fix it before drawing a single line on a paper. Tesla is an example of a genious with poor marketing skills, because he died in debts alone at the age of 86, this man is refered to: "the father of physics" and "the father of the 20th century"

When I code I have the same effect like Tesla, I see the code in my mind's eye, I know what to do, I don't need to design it on a paper or computer software and when I write it out, it's like doing without "thinking" I've been doing this for the past 23 years, I've calculated I've got around 30,000 hours of coding experience, which shaped my personality as well, for good or bad.

Finally I got my blog back

Had problems login because the switch between blogspot and blogger, had alot to write about but no login :(

Anyway we have a new web site (http://www.komodia.com) and I think the design is very good, now I'm working on getting some more links and articles, there are some crucial keywords which the site is not ranked in the top 10 and because Winsock LSP is a niche I know it's possible to rank the site quite high for LSP keywords.

Some technology update, there's a new version of the HTTP sniffer comming out (http://www.komodia.com/index.php?page=sniffer.htm), total rewrite of the first version, new version is fast, robust, stable and works like a charm, and on top of that I will add Firefox support so the new sniffer will support both IE and FF.

I have some thoughts about creating a retail version of the sniffer with many retail features to sell, I'm not sure though, what I do know that if this comes to be, I'll hire some outsource to do the GUI, my GUI abilities are minimal functional at best :-)

That's it for now,
