Speaking of app redesigns , Nevan Mrgan tweeted a screenshot of an app he was in the process of redesigning for iOS 7. Unlike Instacast 4’s mockups, this one looks like it will fit right in. Permalink.

Two days ago Betaworks — creator of the popular iOS game Dots, the company behind Digg’s rise back to fame, and proud owner of Instapaper — opened Digg Reader to the public after greatly accelerating its development following the announcement of Google Reader’s impending demise. Especially for a product upon which work was not schedule to begin until the end of this year, Digg Reader is a very impressive entrant into the RSS reader market. ..

A few days ago Instacast’s created tweeted some mockups of the app’s next iteration . As a diehard Instacast fan, I was very excited to get a sneak peek at the next version of the popular podcasting app. Permalink.

plupload image Image from drupal.org . When building websites, we use a lot of smoke-and-mirrors to get things accomplished, and we often do it by re-purposing preexisting functionality and code. Once the page is themed, who will be the wiser, right? Unfortunately, a seemingly straightforward idea can become unwieldy when you are unfamiliar with the underlying APIs involved. Such was the case for me when I needed to be able to progr....

Yup - I woke up Saturday to find the message above when I visited my website. I’ve used Primus (Planet Domain) for the past 8 years as a hosting provider, and I’ve never had any issues whatsoever - including reaching my bandwidth cap. For starters, I was a little concerned, so I logged into my cpanel and checked out the AWSTATS first: Holy crap! Did I just get too much traffic this month? I have been doing a lot of linking to my si..

My June One Game a Month project is called Interdiction . It’s a two player board game based on Tic-Tac-Toe, but with a twist. The goal of the game is to get a higher score than your opponent. Placing five of your tiles in a row grants you ten bonus points and usually, but not always, results in a win. However, it’s technically possible for a player to get enough points to win the match even if they aren’t the ones to finish the game with ..

Thunar - XFCE & XUbuntu’s small but perfectly formed file manager - has a simple mechanism that allows you to easily add new commands to the right click menu of files and folders. These are called Custom Actions and are easy to create… here’s how to do it. Click the Edit menu, then click ‘ Configure custom actions… ‘. This will take you to the Custom Actions Manager, where you can create, edit or delete your custom actions. Yo....

The following two viewpoints are not consistent: “Come and work at our company. We are looking for someone with lots of experience. The more experience you have the more you’ll get paid!” “You made a mistake. You’re fired!” You can pick up knowledge at university and through reading books. But companies still want experience in addition to knowledge. For me, experience is very much having seen what works, and what doesn’t work, by havin..

Earlier today on an internal Heroku group alias there was a dataclip shared. The dataclip listed off some data grouped by a category, there was a reply a few minutes later with a modification to the query that used the crosstab function to pivot directly in SQL. There were immediately several reactions on the list that went something like this: While a mostly simple function in Postgres (there are a few rough edges), it really is all....

UPDATE : Google no longer supports spdy. Instead it focuses on http/2. This blog-post is no longer up-to-date. Today I tested nginx with Google’s spdy implementation.I already tested pagespeed separatly in a different post that showed the speed-boost gained from it. Now to add the security for you users. Screw you, NSA ! Installation Spdy is not built into nginx by default, so you have to download it separatly and build nginx wit....

Kolmogorov Complexity is kind of a cool idea, at least at first glance. You may know that the information content of an infinite stream of random symbols (measured in bits per symbol) is given by the entropy as described by Claude Shannon . The entropy is all well and good, but it would be nice to have a measure for the information content in a finite length string. Kolmogorov Complexity gives a nice description of the informa....

Javascript in Postgres has gotten a good bit of love lately, part of that is from Heroku Postgres recently adding support for Javascript and part from a variety of people championing the power of it such as @leinweber ( Embracing the web with JSON and PLV8 ) and @selenamarie ( schema liberation with JSON and PLV8 ). In a recent conversation it was pointed out that it seems a bit of headache to have to create your own functions, or a....

You can download it from http://edelivery.oracle.com And now I (and other beta testers) can finally start writing about the new cool features in it! :) Looks like only the Linux x86-64, Solaris x86-64 + SPARC ports are available first (as usual). (just a screenshot below, you’ll need to go to http://edelivery.oracle.com to download the files) Update: Also the Oracle 12c Documentation is now available in the OTN ..

I’m just back from the MongoDB Masters Summit hosted by 10Gen in New York City. In just a couple days I was given the opportunity to meet and share knowledge (and fun!) with amazingly talented minds coming from all over the world. I’m back with literally dozen new ideas opportunities and concepts, on which I’ll need to elaborate a little bit. While I cannot comment on the many things the smart minds at 10Gen are working on, rest assured tha..

At Uboot, there was the suggestion that we should change database technology. This was because we would save money with by moving away from Oracle to e.g. MySQL. It was further decided, as we had 200k+ lines of code, and 100+ tables, that if a migration was to occur, it shouldn’t happen “all at once”, but instead one would have some parts of the system migrated with other parts of the system not yet migrated.

This is a Pelican plugin to calculate various statistics about a post and store them in an article.stats dictionary. You can see this in action in the sidebar on the left of this site. I wanted to implement the nice little “X min read” thing from Medium - and it turned out that it was easy to provide a few other interesting stats at the same time, for people to use in their templates. The returned article.stats dictionary contains ....

I have been writing Windows services in C/C++ and then in C# since 1999. Now that I am writing server based software in Go for the Linux OS I am completely lost. What is even more frustrating, is that for the first time the OS I am developing on (Mac OSX) is not the operating system I will be deploying my code on. That will be for another blog post.

I’ve been a little slow in making release announcements, so here’s some news: I’ve just released the third stage of my puppet-ipa module. At the moment it now supports installation, managing of hosts, and managing of services. It integrates with my puppet-nfs module to allow you to easily setup and run an NFSv4 kerberized server and client. While we’re at it, that’s some more news: I’ve just released a puppet-nfs module to make yo..

Hi All, So its been a busy couple of months my end, I’ve started a new role and getting up to speed has meant the time I had to make changes to the BBC News Mobile code base was limited. I’m happy to say though that I have been working on it, over the last couple of evenings and weekends, and have a preview to release in the near future. All being well the “Preview” version will go live on the store early next week after I’ve come back ..
