A Software Practitioner Still Practising. Maybe, but I need lots of it. Wednesday, 17 October 2012. Doomed to oblivion: a very promising cure for cancer. Read about research by Professors Justyna Leja and Magnus Essand. At the time of writing, the campaign to crowdsource. The necessary funding has been running for almost two weeks, with a further four to go - but less than 10% of the total has been raised so far. This needs a massive push now! Please alert your friends. Links to this post. Blogs by some ...

The makefile is supposed to download and rebuild the libharu pdf generation library whenever it creates a clean build. It turned out that the libharu project. Has moved all its files on to Github and this much-used stable release has not been tagged. Luckily I found a mirror under the Fedora. Links to this post.

A Software Practitioner Still Practising. Maybe, but I need lots of it. Saturday, 14 February 2015. The end of FM Radio? A matter which concerns me greatly at the moment is the impending switch from FM to DAB radio, which could happen in the UK as soon as 2016. In 2013, communications minister Ed Vaizey announced a postponement of the digital switchover to "after 2015", following public pressure. DAB is not suitable for reception in a moving car. There is a random digitisation delay, meaning that the "pi...

A Software Practitioner Still Practising. Maybe, but I need lots of it. Saturday, 6 April 2013. GCalendar in Joomla: Daylight Savings problem. We recently launched a new Web presence for my German Church. Using Joomla 2.5. At my suggestion, GCalendar. Was installed to provide a searchable event calendar and an "upcoming events" module. It all worked splendidly until British Summertime began on 31 March 2013 - and suddenly all calendar events were shown starting an hour early. 15 April 2014 at 22:33.

A Software Practitioner Still Practising: Making cycling safer!
http://aspsp.blogspot.com/2014/10/making-cycling-safer.html
A Software Practitioner Still Practising. Maybe, but I need lots of it. Wednesday, 15 October 2014. I have just been alerted to the existence of Collideoscope. A service that aims to collect data about cycling accidents and near misses directly from cyclists, and use it to press for improvements to road safety at accident black spots. What a brilliant idea. You can also use it to educate yourself about areas in which to take extra care when cycling. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
