My family and me. All posts by ricky. Test driving Socrata for Open Data. On Monday, October 29, 2012. The Queensland Police Service recently published some data. About reported offences from July 1997 to June 2012. I was interested to see how Socrata. Would handle that data. Here’s the results. Note that the graph is only displaying the first few years worth of data. Also note that this experiment was conducted for personal enlightenment purposes only! On Tuesday, July 24, 2012.

A computing and HCI researcher and engineer, and I am one of the developers who has temporarily taken over development of Talks.cam, at least over the next couple of months. However, rather than just say "hello world", I thought it would be worth saying something about the transitioning process. For Linux or Martin Dougiamas. For Moodle. Rod Johnson. The trade ...

My family and me. All posts tagged cucumber. On Tuesday, July 24, 2012. In my last post. I documented the trials and tribulations of getting spork. Working properly with RSpec. And a solution I devised to the problems. I also posted my solution to the SimpleCov issues list. Then Christoph Olszowka, the maintainer of SimpleCov introduced me. A lightweight alternative to spork for fast Rails testing written by Jesse Storimer. Simple solutions appeal to me greatly. I guess you could always force a reload on...

My family and me. When spork puts a fork in your cucumber and a spanner in your specs. On Friday, July 20, 2012. TL;DR: Getting Rails, RSpec, Cucumber and SimpleCov to play nicely with spork is a pain. However, it. Possible to get them all working together. Ensure config.cache classes = true, that Rails threadsafe mode (config.threadsafe! Is not enabled, and then see my spec helper.rb file below. 8220;Look, I just wrote a couple of hundred lines of code! Was it all necessary? 8220;Oh.”. The main symptom ...
