MyPVR / MyDVR / FreeDVR: Distributed PVR
http://mydvr.blogspot.com/2006/07/distributed-pvr.html
MyPVR / MyDVR / FreeDVR. A blog on my progress in setting up at PVR / DVR. Thursday, July 06, 2006. A distributed PVR system, now that would be usefull. A mixture of a normal PVR and p2p film downloading, except its with your own boxes, or friends boxes. It solves my problem of recording channels not broadcasted in certain contries, as Im about to move to another country. I could either leave a box here or hook up with a friend, and then sync some select shows if needed. Posted by flurdy @ 21:04.

Ivar's rambling: Do not rewrite
http://blog.flurdy.com/2011/11/do-not-rewrite.html
The ramblings of Ivar Abrahamsen at flurdy.com. Contain ideas, ranting at innocents, blinkered sporting opinions, tech bable, and probably not enough to be interesting. Wednesday, 16 November 2011. Just don’t do it. Any code I have written (and even worse if written by others) which I need to update/maintain will look bad after only 6 months. After 2 years it smells of bad architecture design and logic. After 5 years the code base feels like a mess, totally unmaintainable. Why are rewrites a bad idea?

The ramblings of Ivar Abrahamsen at flurdy.com. Contain ideas, ranting at innocents, blinkered sporting opinions, tech bable, and probably not enough to be interesting. Tuesday, 25 November 2014. Evolve or wither slowly. 3 years ago (wow that went fast! I wrote a blog post called Do not rewrite. The main points in it was to never rewrite whole applications. Never. Instead gradually rewrite one feature at the time whilst still delivering new business value. No business feature - no value. Every time a ref...
