I just spotted a post by Dave Herren called "The Renaissance Developer". Given the title of my blog, it caught my eye. Nice posting (and blog, for that matter!)
Migrating to WordPress
I've just completed a major migration of all my old blog posts to WordPress. There's still a lot to do, but I'm hoping that using a publishing tool with more features than my home-grown scripts will make updates and maintenance much easier going forward. If you're that way inclined, please update your feed subscriptions to … Continue reading Migrating to WordPress
Jonathan Coulton in London
Wow, hey! Jonathan Coulton is coming to London!. I've already booked tickets for a friend and I. I heartily recommend that anyone else come along to see the Godfather of Geek Rock.
Updated CruiseControl Presentation
I just done a minor update to my Introduction to CruiseControl slide show. A huge "thank you" to Siegfried Goeschl, who sent me his changes.
Postfix SpamAssassin and SELinux
I've just had three very long nights in a row, configuring a new mail server for Lillifoot, and trying to get SpamAssassin working. It's finally working very sweetly, but I pulled a fair amount of hair out getting there. My configuration is as follows: Xen Hypervisor: Dual Core 3.0GHz Intel Pentium 2Gb. I'm currently only … Continue reading Postfix SpamAssassin and SELinux
Jonathan Coulton
Jonathan Coulton's music has been playing pretty non-stop on my music player for the last week now. It's great music, and the lyrics often have a perverse humour based on maths, science fiction and other geeky subjects that really appeals to me. Who else can sing about the Mandelbrot Set without sounding lame? I've known … Continue reading Jonathan Coulton

This is one of those strange examples of synchronicity. I was moderating a message on the JUnit discussion group, when I came across a message by Lasse Koskela, which reminded me of his upcoming book: Test Driven. For a long time I had been planning to go and buy a copy, because I'm very interested … Continue reading Test Driven
Lillifoot Website
As I've hinted previouly, my wife and I opened up a new shoe store last month: Lillifoot. A major reason why I haven't been blogging as much lately is because I've been so busy with Lillfoot. We've effectively set up a complete retail business from scratch. It's been an incredible learning experience, as we've had … Continue reading Lillifoot Website
phpMyFlatSite
Nicolas Seriot wrote to tell me about how he has adapted the exubero stylesheet for his own software: phpMyFlatSite. Not that I'm biased, but it looks very good. 🙂
Nautilus Scripts for Subversion
I'm in the process of helping my wife start up a new business venture (more on that later). As a result, we are hiring people to help us. At this stage, there is a large amount of planning involved, and so I have set up a subversion repository where we can share and collaborate on … Continue reading Nautilus Scripts for Subversion
