Dicing with death en route to work

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Today on the way to work, a truck crashed into the railway bridge as my train was going over it. Luckily, noone was injured, and it was right by the station I had to get off at anyway. Now at work, but have an interesting photo to add to my collection

Sorry about the quality, it was taken on my Mobile Phone Camera… which I spent ages playing with someone else’s Vista machine so I could get the picture off of it. Damned Proprietary Software. I should go get a greenphone

Knitting … again

Corey, glad to know - I’m not arguing - I’m sure all three (perl, purl and pearl) are right.

Anyway, lets put our differences aside and congregate in #ubuntu-knitting

Corey,

1) I’m a PHP developer

3) It’s actually “purl” :P

Isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do - you say something to someone on someone’s behalf, and end up getting your head bitten off..

Bored in Reading…

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

Ok, so I moved to Reading last Sunday to start a job here… I’m now working with vBulletin as a developer… which is cool.. and uber and stuff, cause it’s the kind of Job I went to University to get into (before I dropped out because of debt!)

However, now it’s the weekend, I’m not at work, and have nothing to do and noone to do it with.

Ah well, time to drink my vodka and then go invade the local Rock Bar :D

Looking for Developers

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

I’m looking for Developers who are experienced in the following fields, and have some time on their hand to possibly work on a new project I’ve had an idea for.

  • Jabber/XMPP
  • Linux/Windows Cross Compatibility
  • Streaming Audio
  • SIP/Similar Technologies
  • Jack or Similar/Windows Equivalent

The concept is based around an online radio station management system, allowing DJs flawless integration with each other to allow seamless changeovers, multiple DJs etc etc.

Please feel free to contact me on martin AT sourceguru DOT net if you’re interested and would like to know more.

Should I or Shouldn’t I?

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Over the last couple of days, I’ve been posting a few things that have made me giggle, to share with the outer world.

Anyways, I’ve had a complaint, so I’d like to know from you guys and gals whether you think I should continue doing so?
