I have been running a WebObjects introduction course this week, using Eclipse (as I have been for the past several years). As I don’t always use Eclipse for development, this has served to remind me of a lot of basic functionality that I otherwise will forget between courses. If anyone is interested, I have a […]
Tagged eclipse, webobjectsA few notes here: I don’t use Unit Tests as much as I should (probably true of most of us, I guess). Â I had built a good, functioning example for a Cocoa class a year or two back, and wanted to make use of that in a new project. There’s a reasonable guide on the […]

There’s been a lot of buzz about Jim Lahey’s techniques over the last couple of years. Â There’s no doubt that he’s a dedicated baker, and that his approach is worth considering; not least because it’s a set of simple rules that will give more consistent results, and good results, than a novice baker can hope […]

Â Let’s be clear; I have no choice but to use them, as they have access points at all the places I visit and might need a connection. Â All the old coffee shop access points in my area have been converted to BT Openworld, taking them at a […]
Tagged iphone, iPod/iPhoneIt has taken me some time to get around to reading this book – close to 40 years, if I remember that far back clearly (which mostly I do). I remember seeing the great film classic version when I was young, many times; to be honest, it didn’t really grip me, although the switch into […]
Tagged book reviewAnglers talk of this book with reverence, or did so when I was in my teens. Â Back then I can recall taking a look, and finding it rather impenetrable, written in an archaic style.
