Scripting

Groovy Scripting at the Power of Commons CLI

Posted by & filed under , , .

I’ve found myself more and more scripting stuff in Groovy — partly I’m guessing it’s cause of my Java background, partly because I’m probably not such a good bash/awk/perl/sed/etc script hacker 🙂 Nevertheless, make no mistakes, Groovy is an awesome scripting tool! (I’m not going to praise its benefits in terms of building applications — […]

System Console Support — JDK 1.6

Posted by & filed under , , , .

I’m sure some of you have found the need occasionally to use the “console” input/output support provided by the JDK via System.in and System.out — if nothing else just to implement an occasional more complicated command-line “scripty” app to be run in a Linux environment and piped input in or out from/to another program.

Simone Tripodi, being the helpful guy he always is, […]

Java Catalog 1.0

It’s amazing what you find when you look closely at how you use a computer nowadays — I only just realised that ages ago I have put together this little Java application to help me sort out my mobile phone image collection every time I download them onto my computer…yet even though I’ve been using […]

Cognitive Match Karaoke

Posted by & filed under , , .

Going through my phone, these are long-forgotten pictures from a karaoke session we had at Cognitive Match. Thank God that Lucky Voice has private rooms, otherwise neighbors would have complained no doubt! 🙂 Even more so as the warm-up session in Belgo Central probably made the singing later on even worse 😉 Check out Rowan […]
