Celestial Motherhood: October 2009

http://celestialmotherhood.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Looking After My Girl by The Seaside. Tuesday, 27 October 2009. What Not to Wear. I remember when my Auntie was out shopping for clothes years ago with her toddler daughter. In one of Topshop's changing rooms (you know them, where. She squeezed into a rather tasty, sexy number, thinking this was The Outfit She Must Have, when her little girl protested extremely loudly:. No, Mummy. Too tight, too short." Brilliant, though Mum was mortified. If I had longer hair, I swear I'd pull it out! Could it be Magic?

So you have a million objects in memory, you’ve got them in a Map – so you can access them by key very quickly, but now you want to find all that match on another field. Well, they are in memory, so you can go through them all. However that is going to be slow. […]. Skillsmatter presents @unclebobmartin ‘s TDD and Refactoring course. On April 4, 2013 by kimptoc.

I created a (Ruby) DSL … | Kimptoc

http://wp.kimptoc.net/2013/01/i-created-a-ruby-dsl

I created a (Ruby) DSL …. On January 4, 2013 by kimptoc. Is a Domain Specific Language – that is, small language that should help frame solutions to particular problems. In this case, we had some config for a report writer program that was parsed using custom code, things like so:. Report name { FORMAT = CSV RECORD = A.PATH.TO.RECORD MODE = streaming KEYFIELD = TradeId FIELDS { Id TradeId RecordType Date Time } WHERE Date = "20120924" }. For example there is a “report” method, like so:. Explaining DSL&#8...

HLS Business Solutions: February 2010

http://hlsps.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Friday 26th February 2010. Some of you may remember a blog I wrote recently that was a slightly different follow Friday, if you read further down you will find it. It’s the one from Friday 29. January. I cried when I wrote it, and apologise for making others cry when they read it. But it needed to be said. It was about a very special girl, Carrie-Louise Robe who is the daughter of a very good friend of mine. Cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Http:/ www.nhsbt.nhs.uk/bonemarrow/. I would deem it a great ...

https://clairescantlebury.wordpress.com/2010/10/28/25-of-wales-smes-dont-even-have-a-website-really

Claire Scantlebury’s Blog. Social media and the feel good factor. My 365 project →. October 28, 2010 · 9:19 am. 25% of Wales SME’s don’t even have a website – Really? The day after Google announce that the UK internet economy is ‘worth billions’. And that the UK is now the world’s leading country for e-commerce, they announce that Welsh firms fall behind the rest of the UK in web presence. Can it really be true that 25% of small and medium-sized firms in Wales have no website at all? The Google report al...

The Ex Factor … and why “au revoir” should be “adieu” | This is how I see it ...

https://debsylicious.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/the-ex-factor-and-why-au-revoir-should-be-adieu

This is how I see it …. Answer me one question … what’s the worst that could happen? 21/10/2009 · 11:58 am. The Ex Factor … and why “au revoir” should be “adieu”. People who know me reasonably well will tell you I’m a forgiving sort of girl … eventually. I do a fairly sound job of mentally analysing life events and coming to rational, fair conclusions when disappointment rides into town. I really don’t know the answer here because the concept is most definitely alien to me. And here’s why. It’s not...

Can you match the emoticon to the picture? | How I got out from under the duvet

https://bekidaviesduvet.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/can-you-match-the-emoticon-to-the-picture

How I got out from under the duvet. Me and my duvet; the ups and downs; highs and lows; and sometimes crawling back underneath! Laquo; 5 Things that make me feel good…? It shouldn’t be this hard? Can you match the emoticon to the picture? Great title from http:/ www.stickyfingers1.blogspot.com/. This week “Expressions”. I thought I would approach this a bit differently and set the readers a challenge. There are a series of emoticons and a series of pictures. Which picture matched which emoticon? The emot...

You have to look for the positive | How I got out from under the duvet

https://bekidaviesduvet.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/you-have-to-look-for-the-positive

How I got out from under the duvet. Me and my duvet; the ups and downs; highs and lows; and sometimes crawling back underneath! Laquo; Simple Pleasures. You don’t always need words. You have to look for the positive. We had a real laugh putting it all together and co-ordinating how it would look – I am incredibly lucky to have worked with such amazing people, I think yesterday afternoon was just what we all needed.

JRubyConf EU 2015 | Kimptoc

http://wp.kimptoc.net/2015/08/jrubyconf-eu-2015

On August 10, 2015 by kimptoc. I was fortunate to attend the recent JRuby conference in Potsdam (nr Berlin). Http:/ 2015.jrubyconf.eu/. JRuby is an implementation of the dynamic language Ruby based on the JVM – this gives it the advantage of the ubiquity of the JVM, the more mature threading facilities and access to the various Java libraries/frameworks etc. Jruby is an interpreted language – by the JVM. The conference was a one day event, with 10 varied talks. There was even quality coffee on tap (pic).
