Halloween
“Just because I am tall doesn’t mean I have to wear the Frankenstien costume, I could be a witch or anything. ….”
Welsh phrases we all should know
Apple opens up.
“Apple boss Steve Jobs has said that outside developers will now be allowed to make add-on software for the iPhone.
The move follows criticism that Apple was previously not allowing outsiders to make programs that would run easily on the popular mobile phone.”
This is all good I suppose. Apple will never be a big player IMHO but at least they seem to do things well, which no one can claim to have done in the mobile space to date. Lets hope the SDK they are proposing is not just C++ but some kind of hobbyist environment too.
SQL Joins explained as venn diagrams
This is very good stuff: Visual explanations of sql joins, left joins, right joins and shake-it-all-about-joins which I often forget about.
BarCamp Bristol
It’s “don’t get up till Grandstand day” and I am at BarCamp Bristol. Normally I sit at the back with my coat on at events like this but strangely I am quite enjoying myself. Did a wee presentation on “The Anatomy of a mobile app” which seemed to go down quite well.
Bravo to Tim and Laura for oganising.
Timotei, Timotei … shampoo?
I enjoyed this on the weekend. Rather splendid French way of handling one of sport’s oldest challenges. I especially liked the big hairy Chabel bloke, wasn’t he in Asterix the Gaul?
