August 27, 2009 – This is probably one of the most pressing issues of our time. It’s the reason why “proper journalism” is fading and why newspapers seem to have less and less actual content.

August 3, 2009 – There’s an immortal truth here. One that my mum tried to get through to me when I was a kid, but which I didn’t understand until quite recently. Do what you enjoy or vice-versa. Everything else leads to mediocrity.
July 2, 2009 – My mum would have bought something like this. Super fail.
July 1, 2009 – Superb. Just as I get an Android phone it turns out that I may get to write Groovy code for it soon.

June 18, 2009 – Brilliant.
June 18, 2009 – Lists some of the proposed changes to the Java language in Java 7. Some of the stuff looks very Groovy inspired – in particular the features dealing with collections. Looking forward to this one. Along with closures, it should be a good release to remove some of the pain-points.
June 18, 2009 – A real world application of the traveling salesman problem, with far more constraints than you could imagine. Who would have thought scheduling a league fixture was this hard?
June 18, 2009 – Cool.
June 16, 2009 – Clear and simple explanation as to why pairing is a good idea. Easy to grasp when you do it, but not always as easy to explain to someone else.
June 12, 2009 – No environment’s an island, and we finally get a LINQ implementation on the JVM. Well worth kicking the tires on this one, even if the underlying providers aren’t fully complete.
June 12, 2009 – Having just gone through an exercise in comparing these two similar-but-different products, this is pretty handy.

June 11, 2009 – Remixing at its finest. Both video and soundtrack. Amazing.
June 11, 2009 – Awesome.
June 8, 2009 – The music industry fudging numbers on piracy? No, it cannot be true. I love the idea that according to their download data, they’re losing £175 per person in the UK per week. That’s a whole lot of CDs 
June 2, 2009 – Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you can’t have missed this. Gaming without controllers! Makes the Wii look like a ball in a cup.
June 2, 2009 – So far so good. I’ve been playing with this, and it looks as though Google have some serious competition on their hands. Some of the features (such as decisions about when to buy flights) seem to be US specific, but nothing particularly new there. I’ll switch over for the week and see how it goes.
May 29, 2009 – Google Wave preview.
May 29, 2009 – Hilarious.
May 29, 2009 – Chat + email + documents + everything else crammed into one tool.
May 27, 2009 – Once upon a time I remember reading on Google’s “about” page that they did nothing but search. Back when I had just switched from AltaVista.
May 27, 2009 – Reminds me of my AI class.
May 26, 2009 – The one I’m going to take away is the story of a note from Lenny Bruce – “You’re right, they’re wrong.” Own the stage. For those 5 minutes – it’s yours.
