Today I’m releasing Gozim a side project written in Go. It’s a set of tools to serve ZIM files, (compressed copy of Wiki articles), use it to run your full copy of Wikipedia off the grid. It runs great on a small computer as the Raspberry Pi or your own laptop. It could be a solution to give access to knowledge in countries without stable internet connections.

For the first time in the history of Lemma, I'm actually keeping up with my self-assigned pace of one new level per week. These past two weeks I made two more frost levels. The plan calls for one more frost level, then it's on to the other two biomes. Both of these levels have interesting quirks and unique features. They're probably too tough right now, but I'm scheduling plenty of time to playtest and sand down the sharp edges..

This winter vacation, I had a bunch of spare time at home with my parents. It turns out that my parents call to Romania a lot – especially during the holiday season. Since Romania is far away from here in Canada, if they were to use the local phone provider, Bell, they’d be destroyed with long distance charges (c’mon guys, it’s 2015!). Usually you’d go out and get calling cards, etc, but in the past, when i was still living with them, what ....

A little while ago I wrote about deploying Gastropoda to an Amazon Web Services EC2 instance via Elastic Beanstalk. Since that day I have been running into multiple EB problems. I’m sure that if I took the time to learn I would figure out why these things were happening and how to fix them. Some problems included:

I want to be cremated I know how boring funerals can be I want people to gather meet new people have a laugh, a dance, meet a loved one. I want people to have free drink all night. I want people to patch together, half truths. I want people to contradict each other I want them to say “I didn’t know him but cheers” I want my parents there, adding more pain to their life. I want the Guardian to mis-sprint three lines abo..

Multiplication in C++ is left to right associative - e.g. y = a * b * c means y = (a * b) * c Note that although the mathematical operation of multiplication is associative, e.g. (a * b) * c = a * (b * c), the same is not true for floating point multiplication, due to intermediate rounding error. Therefore in default circumstances, the compiler may not optimise y = a * b * c to y = a * (b * c) as it may give dif....

I think it’s always a good idea each year to reflect on the events that happened during the year - it’s a great way to remember some of the great things that have happened, as well as put some of the not-so-great things that have happened in perspective. If you regularly post to social media (e.g. Facebook or Twitter), looking back on your posts are a great way to revisit the major events that took place during the year. Better yet, by summ..

We are closing 2014 which has been a pretty eventful year for us where we finally solidified Codename One, looking into 2015 we have a lot of great plans ahead! The new year seems like a great time to discuss some of our short/long term plans for Codename One as we move forward and our general thoughts. But first I’d like to open with the things we did badly in 2014 and that we should probably improve in 2015:

It’s always a challenge to migrate to a new implementation and the new VM is no exception, we ran into several issues and are already hard at work fixing them.

Every morning I wake up to my cat Rigel wanting to play. He jumps around the bed and brings in his favorite toy ferret, purring and stepping on us until we either get up or put him outside. Then I get up and go to get a plastic bag from the kitchen before I do anything else. I go to Rigel’s jumbo sized litter box, followed by the cat who sits next to me and watches as I clean it. As soon as I’m done he steps inside and does his business. Me..

Agile - look up this word in any dictionary and the meaning you’ll find is something along the lines of "able to move quickly and easily”.

It’s been a long year for snailing. My simulation got a name, my snails got a brain, and a dev environment was deployed outside of my poor little MacBook Air that’s been chugging away like crazy with all the server and VM crap I’ve had to host on it.

When I met you in the summer, to my heart beats sound, we fell in love, as the leaves turned brown …. Summer - Calvin Harris I was relaxing and looking a tree whose leaves had become red-brown and this song came to my mind. I like it. I’ve heard it several times before, and repeated the main parts a few times internally. But then I was a bit bothered by the “as the leaves turned brown”. Why is it there? What good does it serv....

New builds sent for iOS will now use the new iOS VM by default, this will deliver a lot of new features: stack traces, 64 bit, xcode 6+ support, iPhone 6/6+ native resolution, no stall GC etc. We spent a great deal of time stabilizing the new VM but obviously it can’t be as mature as our existing XMLVM backend and so it is quite possible that you would run into issues that occur purely in the new VM. You can test that this is a new VM iss..

We love Amazon Web Services here at AdRoll. All of our production, test, and staging infrastructure runs on AWS. Really, the only systems we operate outside of EC2 are developers’ laptops. Most of the time this isn’t an issue, as we use platform-agnostic tools like Python, Java and Erlang. When it came to interacting with AWS APIs, though, we had a challenge: how do we manage sensitive AWS Keys across dozens of developer’s laptops and many ....
