It'll All End In Tears. Falling through stewing steak. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Newer posts →. February 13, 2016. Tangentially related to the previous post…. That’s Iain’s latest. Book (or maybe it isn’t – a few months have passed…) The cover is a crop of the following photograph of mine, taken with the previously maligned Natura Black 1.9:. Not sure it’s the crop that i’d have made, but i’m notoriously bad at cropping my shots. Iain S. Thomas. February 13, 2016. And has likely...

Why this Linux veteran runs Ubuntu | Software Whys

https://softwarewhys.wordpress.com/2010/08/12/why-this-linux-veteran-runs-ubuntu

Exploring the reasons behind the way we make and use software. Why this Linux veteran runs Ubuntu. Why this Linux veteran runs Ubuntu. August 12, 2010. I tell you this to put my Linux experience in context, and hopefully establish my credentials as a veteran. According to the buzz, Ubuntu is the last distro I should be comfortable running, but here I am. So why did I switch, and why did I stay? Does Ubuntu get in the way of the “advanced” things I want to do? Does Ubuntu have its issues? Note that I&#821...

It'll All End In Tears. Falling through stewing steak. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. July 25, 2016. Was a little rushed this morning, and skipped over a few things. The direction of travel suggests to me that the question of triggering Article 50 is going to be the major issue of the 2020 election. Right That’s going to happen in short order. Or, more likely, never. 8221; Or, more of a “Oh please Brer Fox, whatever you do, please don’t throw me into the briar patch&#8221...It’...

http://www.biskup.net/blog/2011/05/03/getting-sidetracked-while-being-sidetracked

Getting sidetracked while being sidetracked. Hopefully I’m just unfocussed in my leisure time as I otherwise have dire fears about the start of this recursion. This morning it just dawned on my that I managed to get sidetracked again. Which tries to rebuild the original white box rules. Updates there won’t happen quite as often as for Gaia Gamma but it seems that May is going to be a pen and paper RPG design month for me. 2 Responses to “Getting sidetracked while being sidetracked”.

Being busy » First blood with MonoTouch

http://www.biskup.net/blog/2010/12/02/first-blood-with-monotouch

First blood with MonoTouch. I’m slowly getting settled into our new home and the number of construction tasks still to be handled slowly is decreasing. So I finally found an evening to do something I have been longing to do for quite a while: Toying around with MonoTouch. In order to do some iPhone programming. Why MonoTouch you might ask? I just despise Objective-C. Or give me something better… and since Java is not available for iPhones (yet? After some bungling around and getting lost a few times I fi...

http://www.biskup.net/blog/2011/04/07/talking-about-open-source-software-at-the-eu-in-brussels

Talking about open source software at the EU in Brussels. Today I’m giving a talk about “Transferring open source know how from industry projects to the public sector a one year retrospective” at the ePractice workshop: Open Source: Its place in a cross-border environment”. It’s an interesting experience as I never before have participated in such a EU event. Since I’m also going to be interviewed for. We again lost 90 minutes… just because we got lost.

Being busy » Android versus iOS

http://www.biskup.net/blog/2011/02/10/android-versus-ios

Recently I have been thinking quite a bit about the commercial viability of Android. 8211; from the viewpoint of a commercial developer. Should I support both platforms (which is quite an effort for a small development team if you are going for native support and not some web-based stuff) or should I prefer one platform over the other. My concerns are (for now) related to the development of ADOM Live. A mobile descendant of ADOM. My vastly successful roguelike game. Here is my line of reasoning:. I have ...

Ten quirky things about Python :: The Brush Blog

http://blog.brush.co.nz/2008/01/ten-python-quirkies

The Founding Fathers of the Silicon Valley. Yes, my credit card number *does* have spaces! Endian solution for C. Ten quirky things about Python. Just thought I’d share a bunch of neat (and weird) things I’ve noticed about the Python programming language. You can chain comparisons. Assert 3.14 pi 3.15. It’s a neat equivalent of. Assert pi 3.14 and pi 3.15. That you can’t do in most other languages. Default values are only evaluated once, at compile-time, not run-time. Try. For x in list: s = x. Is a floa...
