<p>I&#8217;ve been sick the last days. I caught a cold, and my head was about to explode any second. So, no work done at all and no decent post, only this random stuff I got in my google reader:</p>

<p><a href="http://ifacethoughts.net/2008/01/06/a-programmer-not-a-translator/">A programmer should not be a translator</a> and in some of my informatics engineering courses, is what we do. We just translate the solution from portuguese to some programming language. I believe we should be the architects of our program and not just builders.</p>

<p><a href="http://tommorris.org/blog/2008/01/06#When:10:51:45">Tom Morris on the idiotic UN blasphemy resolution</a> that is in fact idiotic since it goes against my freedom of will. And I&#8217;ve been in the situation where I get offended for being atheistic. I totally agree with him.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.robmiles.com/">Rob Miles</a> who I met in TechED, released <a href="http://www.robmiles.com/journal/2008/1/5/xna-book-takes-shape.html">his book on <span class="caps">XNA</span> 2.0</a>. I should read it someday. And those who are interested in learning how to easily do a game, should go ahead and buy that book.</p>

<p><a href="http://compoundthinking.com/blog/index.php/2008/01/06/fud-and-turbogears/">TurboGears is not dead!</a> They are just learning from other frameworks like Django.</p>

<p>Oh and another thing: I am feeling pain in my wrists after about half an hour on the keyboard. I am really scared since what I believe will be my future is depending on my hands to code. Any idea what this should be? I already got one of those mousepads with a rest support for my wrist and I&#8217;m also using it in the keyboard sometimes&#8230; But I feel is not enough&#8230; Yeah, and I&#8217;m doing pauses now :(</p>
