and tagged it with Ocarina of Time Zelda I just finished Zelda: The Ocarina of Time and realized something. It feels like it’s not that long ago since I got the game. However, it was actually back in 1998. That’s 15 years ago!! Back up another 15 year and you are in a time where no Zelda games exists.
That’s crazy!

Som politiker och offentlig person är det inte ansvarstagande att skriva hotfullt till journalister. Det är helt oacceptabelt att du anklagar en person i min redaktion för att vara svenskfientlig och landsförrädare.1

In fifty years [Isaac Asimov] averaged a new magazine article, short story, or book every two weeks, and most of that on a manual typewriter. Asimov thought that The Last Question, first copyrighted in 1956, was his best short story ever.1
If you have any kind of interest in science fiction you should definitely read Isaac Asimovs short story The Last Question. I read it yesterday and I think it’s really great.

And the best way to start is just to start. Things to avoid is a mindset that ”I have this great idea for an app and if only I had time to work on it it would be a big success.”
More often than not, in my experience going to NS Coder night meeting lots of people, it is not so much a question of time so much as it is a question of eagerness, of motivation and it’s easy and nice to have kind of this unicorn off in the distance that you can say ”if only I had time I’d be very successful, my app would be awesome and that would be great” because it’s easy to then sort of neglect all of the work and effort and the challenges that you would hit between starting and finishing that project.1
It really felt like David Smith was talking about me in episode #60 of Developing Perspective. The ”unicorn” metaphor seems very appropriate and applicable to a lot of things in my life. ”If only I had more time I’d write more songs.” ”If only I had the time to complete my unfinished master studies.” ”If only I had more time so I could make that great iOS App/Web Service that would be a great passive income.” and so on.
This, all these ”great” ideas that never really gets executed, is one of my least favorite things about myself. It’s something that I really need to sort out. I need to get on with what I want to do, start executing on it and then actually complete it.
Case in point; this post is an almost a year old draft that I for some reason didn’t post back then. Likely there was something great I should add to it ”if only I had more time”.

Zelda – Majora’s Mask :: Henrik Carlsson's Blog
7 juli, 2013 16:49[…] A couple of days ago I finished playing Zelda – Ocarina of Time. It’s a game that I’ve owned for a long time, probably since it was first released in 1998. I’ve played it countless hours but I’ve never played it to the end before. I did however make it all the way to the final dungeon, Ganon’s Castle, back in the nineties. This, combined with the fact that Ocarina of Time has, until very recently, been the newest Zelda game I’ve owned, has meant that I haven’t really encountered anything new in the world of Zelda in the last ten to fifteen years. Sure, I’ve found new artifacts and hidden secrets in the games that I’ve played since then1, but nothing has been truly new. Until now. […]
