Soon after Twitter gained popularity a whole slew of them popped up ( bitly , tiny.cc , is.gd ) to cater for the masses constrained by Twitters 140 character limit, but a lot shut...

It starts with an innocuous email: Hi, I am sorry I have to write you to e-mail from whois information of the domain. But I could not find contact e-mail or feedback form on your site. We are looking for new advertisement platforms and we are interested in your site %DOMAIN% Is it possible to place banner on your site on a fee basis? Best regards, Nicolas Gauthier But it quickly turned strange: Hi! Thanks for reply t..

A while ago I wrote this , which summarised my frustration with cookie cutter quests in MMORPGs. Later I mentioned here that playing SWTOR and seeing how they tied an interesting storyline with traditional quest mechanics made it more enjoyable while reiterating that while I don’t think traditional quests need to be eliminated completely and can be made fun, quests still need to evolve.

On Saturday, I joined over a hundred other hackers at HackTO. This has become a regular event in the Toronto tech scene, thanks to excellent organizing by Leila Boujnane and Corey Reid. SoundCloud joined several other API providers, including Atomic Reach, Context.IO, FreshBooks, Shopify, TinEye, Twilio, Trendspottr, WordPress and YellowAPI. The idea behind the event is simple: find a team (or go solo) and build an app using one or more of ..

Hi All, Just submitted an update for the BBC News Mobile app, this fixes the issues around live tiles. I’m going to hold my hand up to this one, it was a fault when moving between SVN and TFS. The backgroundscheduler code in the last version was actually from an older release and this caused the issues. I’ve also added in a beta feature for related articles, this is to shut up my housemate - Dan, who has been hassling me to make this ha..

Update the talk for this is now viewable on YouTube here When I first came across Django I was an immediate fan. It featured: Good documentation Steady but stable progress Community around apps which encouraged DRY I’ve been a user off and on depending on my needs for nearly four years since discovering it, and throughout that time all of the above have remained true. However, as I’ve worked on and encountered more complex applic....

There was a question in the twitter-sphere about whether using sequences (sequence.NEXTVAL) in your select query’s projection list would somehow disable smart scans happening? The answer is no, sequence use with smart scans works just fine. The smart scan offloading applies to data retrieval row sources (and filtering) only and nothing else. So, what you have in the query’s projection list (the sequence use for example), does not direct..

Happy to announce that the searchco.de code index is growing nicely. Even as you read this blog (assuming anyone does read it) thousands of new files are being added to the index. I suspect in time the code index will be one of the larger ones on the web. At last count it was well over 2 billion lines of code but I suspect this has grown quite a lot.

UPDATE, Tue Apr 17: I followed the advice of an EB rep on the EB Games Facebook page and called the store to check on my CE key today, which still has not arrived. Then I called the EB Games CSR line (13 39 30) as the rep suggested. They sent my key out to me via email straight away. I registered it on the GW2 site using my old GW1 account. Quick and painless :) Now I just hope they did indeed give me a CE and not standard or DD key as the....

Just a quick blog post to point out that some speed improvements have been implemented. I have a few more tricks to roll out soon but on the whole things are much more snappy now. I have also been modifying my indexers and can now update the index ad-hoc rather then in large batches. I have some more stuff coming soon including search restricted to languages EG Java / C++ and an updated code view.

My universities student network is pretty restricted. I just finished coding a few changes to Simple and realised I couldn’t push any changes to GitHub due to port restrictions. It appears that they block almost all ports bar 80 and 445 via TCP, which is fine for most users but is quite annoying for...

At the start of this year I made some New Years Resolutions. I thought I’d review how I was going after 3 months. Weight – Unchanged. Doing a bit of work here but obviously not enough, at least it is not going up.
