Afae Update – CF9; Google’s Go

Afae is an All Purpose Editor plugin for Eclipse. There is a new version of Afae up on the project page. It’s dubbed version 0.9.8. New bits include: ColdFusion Update for 9 and Railo – Thanks Ron Stewart Support for Google’s new Go language. Few little bug fixes here and there. Here is what the new [...] (translate)

24 Hour Chinese Radio in Australia

I haven’t been going at it with as much fervour as I have in the past, but I’ve still been plugging away at learning Mandarin. It’s been a few years now, and I still, sadly, know very little. 我能写字好。我能不听和不言好。因为我能不听到，我就喜欢我的新CR2电台。每天我听“澳洲早安！“。常常我知道一两个字。 My estimate for being somewhat decent at Mandarin is 5 to 10 years – from [...] (translate)

Australian Web Awards

The Australian Web Awards were last Friday, and a project I am working on was a finalist in two categories. I am a bit removed from an actual acceptance of an award – that would likely go to my employer; however, I think I would have heard by now if we won. I [...] (translate)

Move to Ubuntu… [FAIL]

My move to Ubuntu as my main desktop OS has failed. I still use Ubuntu at work as my main desktop OS, but for my home system, I am now back on Mac OS X. “Death by 1000 cuts” is why. If you’ve tried this before, or you’re in the Linux community, none of my reasons [...] (translate)

My Action Figure

This is what happens when I get bored, I am tired of coding, and no one is around. I found these fun little hobby things called CubeeCraft. They make great desk toys, they are relaxing to build, and they are cheap to make – you just need a printer and some time. I started making a [...] (translate)

Widget to help CSI with their Tech talk

I don’t watch TV very much, but I have been a bit obsessed with some CSI clips that have been making the rounds on youtube. The clips caught my attention because the tech talk they use in the show is so ridiculous that it has to be a joke. There has to be some tech [...] (translate)

TypeError: Unsupported format string type

Quick post so Google might return something helpful for others hitting this error (Since I couldn’t find a post on the matter). I hit this error using python on Mac OS X Leopard while writing a Cocoa based application and using minidom. I was doing a simple httplib.HTTPConnection request to a server and getting back [...] (translate)

Lowfi Project Managment

I’ve been searching for the perfect set of tools for software development. I am searching for the kind of workflow where there is no workflow. It just happens – coding like water grasshopper. I’ve become disenchanted with most of the tools I’ve used in the past. The tools almost always seem to get in the way [...] (translate)

Posting From Emacs

I’ve been rediscovering some… ahem… aged tools lately – like fine wine. It started when I had to do a bit of python developemnt, and has blossomed from there. Python has that low level, old school, boot Debain to text only mode feel to it. So this post is more or less pointless. It is only to [...] (translate)

Craftsmanship and Time

My wife’s parents came to stay with us for a spell (Sorry about that I’ve been watching Firefly), and when they visit we often go out and about. It’s great when they come to visit because I wind up doing things I wouldn’t think to do on my own. On this outing Ed [...] (translate)
