Last Friday, Andy Davidson , Jonathan Oddy, and I pushed out some research that has some quite worrying repercussions. Whilst I’ve heard from a lot of people privately about this matter, there’s a big flaw here, and as Andy posted on his blog (which is much more informative than mine, I think!), this is a big problem. The reason, I think, that we’re getting limited public discussion of this exploit (I hesitate to call it an exploit..

In the January/February 2009 edition of Books and Culture I read a review of Thomas Howard’s Dove Descending: A Journey into T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets . (I would link to the review but it isn’t on the B&C web site yet. UPDATE: The article has been posted: Rest for the Weary .) This motivated me to dust off (literally) my copy of Eliot’s Selected Poems , which doesn’t contain “Four Quartets” but has the Ariel Poems, his first published..

Tiemblo cada vez que tengo que tratar con un funcionario, es como si te echaran una maldición: De entrada tienes pocas esperanzas de poder hacer el trámite a la primera, sin que te toque volver n-mil veces a tratar con el/la individu@ en cuestión. Una vez te decides a intentarlo, siempre te queda la duda de si ir al edificio público en el que ejerce su profesión o si acudir directamente a la cafetería de al lado (lo cual me hace reflexion....

Occassional blogger-? That fits me... Have you ever thought of getting all the Andy's together on a blog or website and seeing what we can do-? Afterall... Being an Andy is rare and unusual and meybe even special-! When I worked in London it was the first time we had several "Andy's" in one office. Being a Yank I suggested we had designated "Andy''s: and even honorary "Andy's"... It was a fun time. Now we have the internet to show us how w..

Have you ever looked at a list of compiler warnings the length of an essay on bad coding and thought to yourself: “You know, I really should do something about that… but I don’t have time just now”? On the other hand, have you ever looked at a lone warning that just appeared in a compilation and just fixed it? When I start a new project from scratch, there are no warnings, no clutter, no problems.

When troubleshooting Oracle process memory issues like ORA-4030’s or just excessive memory usage, you may want to get a detailed breakdown of PGA, UGA and Call heaps to see which component in there is the largest one. The same goes for shared pool memory issues and ORA-4031’s – sometimes you need to dump the shared pool heap metadata for understanding what kind of allocations take most of space in there. The heap dumping can be done usi....

Following getting my roadbike back out for the first time in a while (been really busy since moving to Ealing!) I figured I’d look at if there’s anything more about Di2 floating around. It seems the more I see of this system, the more I want it. Perhaps Orca with Di2 is something for 2009?
I've also started tracking my rides (mostly fixed, mostly to and from work at the moment) on this site , if there's any interest, I was pond..

Update: Luca Canali has written a newer version of Perfsheet (PerfSheet v4) and you can download it here . I am not updating/maintaining the old versions anymore (and Perfsheet v3 is only tested on up to Excel 2007) so I’d recommend to check out Luca’s PerfSheet v4. Hi all, I have been extremely busy over last couple of months, that’s why there haven’t been any blog entries (no, I haven’t ran out of good ideas ;-) I just managed to....

Top five signs that you might not be working on an agile project: Your iterations do not produce anything that could be put into production You’re not testing your work You tasks are called “code the UI for the foo”, “update the bar component” and “test the work done in the previous iteration” Your iterations are called “specification”, “testing”, and “preproduction” And the top sign that you might not be working on an agile project: You mi..

Yesterday it was announced that Merb and rails would merge and be released as Rails 3.0. I never saw this coming, and to be honest I am super happy that it did. I’m glad the the Rails and Merb core teams understand the value of both frameworks, and they can now enhance Rails with the best ideas from Merb. I’m still going to hole my breath to see how the team members points of view clash or come together… but so far its looking like a grea..

This is firstly a reminder for myself, here is a great example how to fire up a thread to perform long operation on iphone, without blocking reactivity.

As usual there has been quite the storm over a commit in edge rails. Link Some people don’t understand Metal, but its pretty simple and I wanted to put out a post explaining it and hopefully you learn a little bit. Metal(s) allows you to design data access points that bypass most of the rails routing and rendering code. So instead of exposing data through normal controllers we can write better performing actions through metal(s). In....

Complete with blinking light! It’s amazing what you can make with a soldering iron and the spare electrical parts you have in your basement. If you are wondering what the heck I am talking about, just watch the BBC sitcom “The IT Crowd” Series 3 Episode 4.

Yes, I am definitely a CrackBerry user. As a result, when I saw a new book on Amazon called CrackBerry: True Tales of BlackBerry Use and Abuse , I simply had to order it and pay the inflated shipping and US exchange rate to have it delivered to Canada. And I am glad I did - it was a hilarious read, and I must admit that I can relate well to the crazy stories within.

I’ve been part of the group organizing the Norwegian language, lightning talks based conference Smidig the last two years. This Norwegian language article describes the essential guidelines to giving a short presentation. En god lyntale kan ha enda større påvirkning enn et godt foredrag, fordi lettere kan nå flere mennesker. Men det krever innsats. En god lyntale er: Fokusert: Du skal ha ett poeng, én påstand eller ett spørsmål som foredrag..

Python 3.0 is here. Guido and others released Python 3.0, a major “backward” incompatible python release. It was a necessary choice to remove many old libraries, rework the std library, and change some behaviour. You can see it all in What’s new in Python 3.0. The most visible change is maybe the print statement, print is now a function: print “toto” becomes print("toto") The % operator whis is supplented by the format() method:

I’ll let you in on a dirty secret: my first paid programming task was to make custom modifications to an oscommerce shopping cart. I cut my teeth on PHP that weekend and learned through trial by fire how much good, clean code (with no global variables!) matters, and how much it really SUCKS when everything is in the global scope. I always died a little inside each time I had to make a modification… I once started refactoring the code on the..

I became a programmer so that I could spend time creating software by programming. I don’t want to waste my time managing low-quality code. Does your code work the first time your test it out? Mine certainly never does. So if I hand over the code to someone else, I’m sure to get a bug report back that will take up my valuable programming time. This much is obvious to most developers.

Update Thanks to Alan Palmer for this trick that makes this whole post unnecessary: If you use !path {java.class.path} You get the classpath that fitnesse was called with, without the need for changing the fitnesse code. Regular readers of my blog may remember that I’ve researched how to get the classpath from the FitNesse-process inherited by the Fit process that FitNesse spawns when it runs a test. This trick is an easy way to get around ..
