Mar 27th, 2012. Sitting in a deckchair on the beach, looking out over the azure sea as the setting sun turns the desert and mountains of the Sinai peninsula a deep rose-pink. I feel very lucky to have the chance to experience this and so many other moments of beauty. Now, if only I could work out how to upload a photo and share the scene with you! Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone. Feb 20th, 2012 at 7:59 PM. When I last posted, a week ago, I was on the bus on the way to the monthly NUPG. We walked do...

Scotland to England via Wales... yeah it was one of those days! - The adventures of a Dorky Turtle

http://dorky-turtle.livejournal.com/10856.html

The adventures of a Dorky Turtle. Rare and random mutterings. Scotland to England via Wales. yeah it was one of those days! Jun 25th, 2008 at 8:17 PM. But Paul's daughter had to be taken to hospital (she's ok, but people were worried, fair enough). So when he showed up he said "Look, I can't go. So here are the keys to the company car, here's the company credit card, can you get there on your own? Um, what was I gonna say? OK, so this is where I show you the map. I got a bit lost! Me go sleep now! 1 - 1 ...

Fuel miles and eco-protectionism - A black beret short of a beat poet

http://subtle-eye.livejournal.com/34473.html

Fuel miles and eco-protectionism - A black beret short of a beat poet. January 6th, 2009. 03:34 pm - Fuel miles and eco-protectionism. People who automatically equate purchasing domestically produced with environmentally friendly make me angry. Partially because it commingles something I love about progressive politics (Environmentalism) with something I detest (Protectionism, tariffs, anti-trade). So lets do some science. Rough back of drink coaster calculation:. That works out to 4000 boxes of copy pap...

Isms - A black beret short of a beat poet. February 3rd, 2009. 09:00 am - .isms. Airlines redefine disruptive behaviour as terrorism. In todays Los Angeles Times. There's an article about the abuse of the Patriot Act. There have been 200 odd convictions, often just for behaviour involving raised voices and swearing. Flight personnel have very broad discretion and no clear standard on what is considered "attempt or conspiracy to interfere with a flight crew". Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you . I'm havi...

Caught by the old 'SQL injection' trick - Quid est veritas?

http://shoei-mike.livejournal.com/14080.html

Caught by the old 'SQL injection' trick. May 30th, 2008. Opps, just got caught out by this. Which reminded me of the above xkcd comic. Luckily this happended in testing, thanks to a Mr O'Connor in my data set. He will now be known as Mr O 'Connor. Anyone else with similarly dangerous characters lurking in their name will be mangled in the same manner. 2008-05-30 01:26 am (UTC). Heh I've been dealing with a lot of that recently. 2008-05-30 03:48 am (UTC). 2008-05-30 02:07 am (UTC). Just wanted to say that...

Political rant - Scratchings of an insane parrot

http://vonstrassburg.livejournal.com/111486.html

Political rant - Scratchings of an insane parrot. September 8th, 2010. Since I've gotten into another political s* tfight, here's where I stand on such issues in case anyone's interested:. Yes, I'm an environmentalist in case you hadn't spotted that. If you use the terms loopy greenies or nutbags from the green movement (Sarah Palin's epithet I believe) around me then you can expect a lot of complicated questions that will need detailed and accurate answers. Who gets the job of saying you live, you die?

I do not balk at the Manchego's rustic, woven rind. The Soonr web services ending in 'r' stop dropping the 'e' before that r, the Bettr . February 10, 2010 6:33 PM. The people who brought us Pirate Bay - the very best in organized intellectual property theft - have launched a new venture. And oddly enough, this one seems. legitimate, and potentially useful. Flattr is a way to show your appreciation when you like something. You see, it lets you "flatter" the users. See? Then, you go out into the wide worl...

Wow, it's been a while, hasn't it? - I, AutumnHeart

http://i-autumnheart.livejournal.com/36531.html

Random blather of an overworked geek. Wow, it's been a while, hasn't it? Losing my mind one project at a time. Essays by Paul Graham. Wow, it's been a while, hasn't it? The dark is rising. Blows dust off journal:. Is that enough of an excuse, do you think? As a token to prove my bona fides (I was. Thinking about posting, I promise), I give you the contents of my 'To Rec on LJ' bookmarks category, for your time-wasting enjoyment:. Fabric to fill a costumer's heart with envy. Now *this* is planning ahead.

GUI Designers - Robbie's Journal

http://ethanthescribe.livejournal.com/98519.html

Has been playing with open source GUI development tools lately, mostly giving up with cries of disgust. I have to agree with him: Visual Basic came out in 1991, Delphi in 1995. IMHO, Delphi is still head and shoulders above anything else out there for visually designing a form and then linking it to code, but VB perfectly usable, and Visual C# is a serious contender. Windows has a heap of quite good desktop application builders, many of them available for free download. Mono and Lazarus are quite flawed.
