Ok, so it’s been a while since I’ve updated my blog so now catching up on it — here’s an interesting one found just outside a bar in San Jose in California, USA; granted, it was also next to a kids playground, which makes it all of a sudden relevant 🙂
First “Happy Easter!” card I got from my niece – ever! 🙂 If you look closer, it DOES read “Happy Easter, Liv!” — honestly 🙂
I’m broadcasting this on all channels at the moment, just so I can get the attention of the guys in Carbonite and hopefully get this feature added to their (otherwise excellent!) software. So if you’re a Carbonite user and you find this feature I’m asking for is worth anything, would love some feedback on this […]
I thought I’d post this on my blog as well since this seems to get a lot of attention nowadays (it certainly seems to get a lot of visitors!). I just started a new open-source project on SourceForge.net — I know you github fans will jump at my throat for using sf.net and not github, […]

These are actually pretty awesome — taken by my parents, after the sea has trashed the coast it seems, in Constanta, Romania:
So for those of you who didn’t know, I turned 37 this year (no, seriously!). And little Sarah send me one of the best cards I got — now that I find myself on the wrong side of 35 🙂 Awww, bless! 🙂
I felt like I had to write this to spread the word a bit more about this little-known danger of one of the JDK classes: SimpleDateFormat. Used quite widely from what I can tell — who hasn’t written something like this: SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(); df.format( new Date() );SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(); df.format( […]
Since I’m in the process of (finally!) organizing my photos, I found these ones that I never got to upload — from last year (2011) on a business trip with Denis Lowe and Rowan Jacobson: at the time Cognitive Match was just opening their offices in Palo Alto so we turned up for 2 weeks […]
