New Mac, Wii and DS

January 25th, 2009

gallery-big-01.jpgI’ve not been posting in a while as I received a new Wii, DS and Mac over the Christmas period which has kept me very busy – thats on top of working all the hours god sends!

I’m not rich – nor is my family. There was a windfall that enabled presents to be bought and so here I am. Very grateful and happy.

The Mac is bedding in nicely – although I’ve spent more time blogging with it than coding so far. That maybe a sign of things to come as I am considering moving this blog to a new home and changing name. I don’t see myself posting as much dev related stuff in the future. Watch this space.

The Mac is SO quiet and refined – its damn refreshing to use. Aluminium unibody case and the little mag power cable is wicked. :)

Google Tech Talks

September 15th, 2007

I’m a recent convert to Googles Tech Talks and I’ve been totally taken in by it! Its a huge selection of posted videos searchable on Google Video of lectures, demonstrations and talks from a wide array of difefrent people. All rated and commented on by the community. What’s also great is its got RSS so I can keep an eye on it from my Netvibes page.

Here’s a couple of examples of recent great talks:

How to Design a Good API

A great intro to writing a good API and also why writing a good API should come naturally if you’re coding in the right way. ;)

Everything is Miscallaneous

Fantastic talk on categorisation and how the net is helping us sort and manage much better – if only it helped me sort my ‘misc drawer’ out!

Python 3000

There couldn’t be a list of videos without mentioning Python 3000. As you may have heard they recently released the first alpha of Py3k and there’s lots to be excited about – though you’ll have to wait until this time next year before we get the final.
