Working in Portugal
June 16th, 2006 • Blog
BigTime Consulting posted a comic related to the general work conditions of working in the I.T. industry in Portugal. In other words, it clearly expresses my working conditions.
I really like the 2nd point of the reader’s letter which says:
“We don’t get overtime. Well, let me elaborate: we never, *ever*, get overtime on weekdays, no matter how late they make you stay, and we don’t earn it on weekends and holidays either, unless the project was sold with a specific budget for overtime in the first place”
So enjoy the full comic (and many other humorous strips) at BigTime Consulting and take some time to read the letters which inspired the drawings too. :)
Notepad++ is my favorite text (code source) editor :
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/
It supports tons of languages, including HTML, PHP, JavaScript and ruby.
Some of the things that stand out to me: Macros, Multi-document sync’d scrolling, Vector-style zoom in/out, and Code highlighting that is on-par with Dreamweaver. It also has comparable site-wide find and replace. Another nice feature are tabs that behave like Firefox. They are draggable, and a middle-click closes them. Anything I could say won’t do it justice. In short, what Firefox is to the browsing, Notepad++ is to code.
