Moved!

This move wasn’t quite as smooth as the last time I tried; at least, when I tried to back up the whole site, move files & databases, I ran into issues. When I exported all the posts & pages into a virgin install, it was very smooth. I do now have to look at all…

Better batteries?

Hope these don’t cost too much more than existing ones & more to the point, don’t take too long to arrive! [Oh, and don’t take inordinately long to recharge when they need it!] But, perhaps Samsung should go on the list of next possible phones 🙂 Originally shared by +Ronald Buelow New Technology Can Make…

I feel very old now

Easy Formatting in G+?

I’ve used the editor from http://www.paulspoerry.com/code/post-editor-for-google-plus/ for a while, though it only works if you’re a Chrome user, (for some reason, it doesn’t always show for me – sometimes I have to click a * to trigger it into action, but that could be me) however, I’ve just seen http://www.thepluseditor.com/ as well – which works…

Phorm returns?

No, not http://www.phorm.com/ but https://www.getphorm.com/ – (make sure you scroll down the page to see what it does) It looks fascinating (though wonder how well it really works) – however, could the name put people off?? [Or do few others than me remember the BT/Phorm issue??] I just ordered the world’s first morphing touch screen…

Spectrum on the Raspberry Pi?

I was just thinking about getting the #Spectrum emulator going on my #raspberrypi (I have B, B+ & 2). I found http://www.raspberrypi.org/fuse-a-zx-spectrum-emulator-running-on-raspberry-pi/, as well as a reference to http://www.raspberrypi.org/raspbian-chameleon-remix/ Fuze – a ZX Spectrum emulator running on Raspberry Pi | Raspberry Pi At the celebrations for the BBC Micro’s 30th birthday on Sunday (more on…

Nice visualisation of the writing process

It's been far too long … and a technical puzzle.

I have been spending far too much time on Twitter and G+, but thought I’d better return to this. My current task is updating and preparing materials for a new Unit, a University Ambassador Scheme based Unit. We’d already got one in the Maths department, so updating the links, changing Maths specific sites to Computing…

Twitter – wordle.

Though I’ve done far more in Twitter than I have here, my Wordle is very similar to the one I created in January! I’m not sure how to get the rt out; given that I created it via Tweetstats ( rather than directly as I had in the past)…
