My daughter loves dancing - always has done - whether it is street, contemporary or ballet. However she faces none of the challenges the dancers (and musicians) in this video face. I won’t spoil it here … just watch.

Intel have just announced a new set of smart glasses that don’t look stupid. Admittedly the functionality is a lot more limited that other offerings however these look a lot more normal than them. It provides very limited functionality to display a small red image in the lower part of the wearers vision. Cleverly it also disappears when the user is not looking down.

This is such a simple idea and could potentially have a huge impact if it takes off - cafes and pubs filling up water bottles for free.

Mgmt has given us a lot of great features, demos, and insight into how infrastructure automation should be managed. Unfortunately it wasn’t a complete tool yet, because it was missing a crucial piece for its completeness. That all changes today with the addition of: the language . An ideal language allows us to express easily what is useful for the programming task, and at the same time makes it difficult to write what leads to inc..

There is a long history of movement notations. Before ubiquitous video capture you had to preserve the developed choreography somehow. Now they are more of a historical curiosity, even though they do look amazing as graphical systems. Of course, you could also provide simple illustrations of positions, as was done in a book by Golena Voyachkova “Movement - the root of woman’s health and beauty” that came out in the Soviet Union in 1965. I..

I had a very unusual setup for the network for my office. The office is situated a floor above and at the opposite end of the house to where the main router is located. A fully wired connection is not an option at the moment due to concrete floors and limited access to roof voids.

Deadlocks are: One session/user has acquired access to resource A (and won’t let anyone touch it), and is waiting for resource B. Another user/session has acquired access to resource B and is waiting for resource A. They’ll both wait forever. You don’t want that. Your software has now crashed. You want your software to be deadlock-free. Software composability is: You want to split your software into small independent pieces that can ..

At the moment I am having to get up to speed on a bunch of technologies relating to “DevOps”. This includes Kubernetes. I borrowed this book from a colleague and read it over the course of two days commuting. It provides a very good high level overview of all the main concepts of the platform.

Part of my 2018 resolutions and goals this year was to read more books. So far, I think I’ve done okay. I only finished three books in the last month. That’s actually pretty good, considering I finished only five books in 2017 .

Recently a customer requested that a piece of software should “move companies” from company A to company B, henceforth appearing as if it’d always been created by company B, and never appear to have been produced by company A at all. (I would surprise you if I say this is not the first time I’ve received such a request.. or not?) The simplest way would have been to rename everything in the source code, copy it to a new directory, git init..

Postgres has a rich set of features, even when working everyday with it you may not discover all it has to offer. In hopes of learning some new features that I didn’t know about myself as well as seeing what small gems people found joy in I tweeted out to see what people came back from. The response was impressive, and rather than have it lost into ether of twitter I’m capturing some of the responses here along with some resources many of t....

On 12th June 1984 I was on a family holiday in the US. We had spent three weeks travelling around Florida and then up the east coast to finally end up in Boston. During the day we had a guided tour of the city and we were told that it was game seven of the NBA finals that night between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers.

You can’t go to a security event nowadays without hearing at least a few speakers say the phrase "DevSecOps". The term has turned into a rallying cry for an approach that automates security throughout the development process. But in order for DevSecOps to succeed, it will first have to die.

I listen to a lot of podcasts (probably 500+ a year) and one I make an extra effort to listen to every episode is 99% Invisible . It is “about all the thought that goes into the things we don’t think about — the unnoticed architecture and design that shape our world.”

This is a great article about a small business that is growing rapidly and run with a smile on their faces. John and his dad started a business to sell crazy, fun socks and it has gone from strength to strength. I also like the 5% of sales to the Special Olympics and the socks for charities (watch the video).

Yesterday I had a conversation with a designer who made a career change to become a real-estate sales person. yep – you heard well. From panda-hat pencil-in-hand graphic artist and logo designer, he went to sell cinderblocks lots… What happened? well, unsurprisingly – he got sick of clients – he got tired of not getting paid – and he got tired of having the very people who hired him for a job starting to tell him how he should do his job..

Mondays don’t have to suck but sometime they do… which I guess is fine and was to be expected. Yet – when you didn’t sleep overnight and still have to break your head over tons of things… some days are just not easy. The secret – is to zoom out. When I manage to zoom out on the scale of a decade – then the fact the tramway was late or that I couldnt get a coffee in the morning, or this bug in the code is become such a tiny ridicule element ..

Derek Sivers highlights an interesting pricing approach in this article . He was asked to perform at a distant location. When the customer couldn’t afford the price they suggested reducing the performance time, hoping to reduce the price. Instead of doing the expected he raised his price. His reason was that they were paying for him to get to the location and then do the work where the work was the fun bit. By reducing the time on the fun ..
