I thought I’d never live to see this, but in Los Gatos a couple of weeks ago, I’ve seen my own name used as a brand name! No idea what that shop is selling (was too busy trying to find a bar that was goddam open on Easter Sunday 🙂 ) but the conclusion to […]
Dr. Who in San Jose?
Unfortunately my BlackBerry’s camera didn’t help here but you can see on the street in the near distance is a red phonebox — looked to me identical to the London ones! Was waiting for Dr Who to pop out of it … but 10 minutes later I got bored and went back in the bar […]

Seen Outside a Bar in San Jose, California

I was trying to open up Cognitive Match‘s web page @ www.cognitivematch.com — and through the above mistake I got Google to search instead for www.cognitivematch.com. Oh […]
Batch Source Formatting in Eclipse Indigo
This has been bugging me lately — how to do a batch formatting using Eclipse!
