Back to main site. Importance of spaces in scala function by-name declarations:. June 26, 2008. I spent some time today having syntax problems with scala function by-name function declarations. It turns out that a space after the colon is critical. In the end someone on the scala irc channel at irc.freenode.net. by the name of ‘mapreduce’ helped me out (thanks! This session should clarify what works and what doesn’t work:. Scala def some1 [T] (interval :int) (f :() = T) (noContent:T) = {}. I’ve bee...

Back to main site. Wellbeing Realizations of 2009. January 1, 2010. I spent a lot of time in 2009 thinking about factors that affect my daily sense of wellbeing. During the year I have met a number of very interesting people. Who have been doing the same kind of thing. Here are the most significant personal realizations of last year that have led to me feeling better everyday:. 1 Reading fiction in bed. I haven’t listed these in order of importance and I think they tend to be multiplicative.

Back to main site. The kindle is not ready for me yet. February 11, 2009. I love the idea of a kindle. I think it would be good for my mental health. Reading material of substance, as well as getting away from the instant crack hits of social media seems like a good thing. Appealing as the new Kindle 2 is, it’s not ready for me because:. 1 An Apple tablet would make it redundant. 2 As far as I know, PDF reading still sucks. 3 Most of the books I really want to read are not available yet. That’s a h...

Back to main site. Concise description of OAuth ( 300 words). June 28, 2008. Ldquo;I’d like to give a site access to my Google contacts, but I don’t want to give them my google username and password.”. OAuth solves this and similar problems. OAuth allows one website to access a users content from another website without needing their username and password. In OAuth terminology, the site that wants to get the content is called the consumer. The site that has the content is called the service provider.

Back to main site. August 22, 2008. There are too many icons on my iPhone already, and I expect to end up installing more applications and web-app links. To make it easier to use, I’d like Apple to make Springboard context aware. Specifically, I would like to be able to choose some of the rows of the grid to show a prioritized list of icons of applications that I last used in that context. What would ‘context’ be?

Back to main site. First day with my Kindle DX. June 16, 2009. This isn’t really intended to be a full review, and it’s certainly not intended to be unbiased or helpful to all possible kindle purchasers, although hopefully my perspective will be useful to some people. The triggering factor leading me to buy the Kindle DX was the promise of native PDF reading. Over the past few years I have accumulated a stack of PDF files - some of them purchased e-books, and some of them academic papers. There was a let...

Back to main site. IPhone 3.0: Apps Connecting to Hardware is the trump feature. March 17, 2009. At Apple’s press conference this morning, they announced that iPhone, and iPod touch applications would have the ability to control external hardware via either bluetooth, or the dock. Oddly, most commentators seem to be intent on making a big noise about the inclusion of copy and paste, but are completely overlooking the major implications of what seems me to be by far the most significant feature. Because t...
