Alternative google drive client

It seems that google has deprecated the version of its API, that has been used by grive. On the other hand there is an alternative called drive and can be found here: https://github.com/odeke-em/drive

Reading cryptonomicon

It is a weird but interesting book. Quite technical with technology and cryptography references. It is consisted by three storylines that are running in parallel. Two storylines are placed in the 2nd world war period and the third is placed in the modern world. I have not been to the point where the storylines converge yet but it not too far away. It is a biggish book of more than 1000 pages in my nook reader

The mythical man month

Finished this book. It is a book about software development management and is considered by many as a classic. It is definitely an interesting book, somewhat out of date but  most of it is still current. Another interesting fact is that it provides some insight to the way software management and development was done in 1970s. Definitely worth the time.
