London; Dublin; Belfast. About Me / CV. Black Holes of Time. Caps Lock Notification App. Issues with Calex and GitHub. Raquo; 17 Sep 2012. So my side project Calex. Is pretty much finished, except for one critical issue - adding a new blog post is not possible while using a custom domain. To give a quick summary, the idea behind Calex. I use a javascript library, GitHub-WebCommit. To commit to the Calex GitHub repository. By following the GitHub API. This is where the problem lies. In normal circ...Githu...

Donal Farrell - Films and Tv
http://donalfarrell.com/2013/09/24/Films-and-Tv.html
London; Dublin; Belfast. About Me / CV. Black Holes of Time. Caps Lock Notification App. Raquo; 24 Sep 2013. I watch a horrendous amount of films and tv. The majority hit the bar at terrible consisting of a pick-n-mix of swiss-cheese plots, cardboard acting and disillusioned direction. Regardless, I find myself forced to watch because how do you know the good if you don’t know the bad? That’s my logic anyway. I’ve created a subdomain for this at thethingsiwatch.donalfarrell.com.

http://donalfarrell.com/2013/09/09/Finally...Part-2.html
London; Dublin; Belfast. About Me / CV. Black Holes of Time. Caps Lock Notification App. Finally. Part 2. Raquo; 09 Sep 2013. Just over a year ago I set up this page, then promptly left it alone with the exception of 4 posts. Not this time! No, this time it’s different! This time i’ve put up a nicer design and some flashy icons. Also, i’ve got some new projects in my head I want to crack on with (‘cause who wants to finish the old ones? So hopefully i’ll get a few posts out of them.

Donal Farrell - Movement
http://donalfarrell.com/2013/11/26/Movement.html
London; Dublin; Belfast. About Me / CV. Black Holes of Time. Caps Lock Notification App. Raquo; 26 Nov 2013. Although the tag line for this site is ‘Born in Belfast; working in London’, it should now really read ‘Born in Belfast; worked in London; back in Belfast’. In the last month I have moved back to Belfast. It’s just a temporary measure though, so back to the job in London around April. One such project is Hubblog. Blog, like this one! As this blog is hosted using the fantastic GitHub-Pages. Hopeful...

Donal Farrell - Setting up GitHub redirects
http://donalfarrell.com/2012/07/13/Setting-up-GitHub-redirects.html
London; Dublin; Belfast. About Me / CV. Black Holes of Time. Caps Lock Notification App. Setting up GitHub redirects. Raquo; 13 Jul 2012. This site is actually hosted on GitHub. It uses the fantastic GitHub Pages. Service, which uses the Jekyll. Static site generator. It essentially serves up whatever content you have in your git repository. Setting up my DNS settings was a little tricker. The GitHub documentation is a little vague on this so I had to do a little fiddling to get mine working:.

Donal Farrell - VirtualBox and Windows 8
http://donalfarrell.com/2013/11/28/Windows8-VirtualBox.html
London; Dublin; Belfast. About Me / CV. Black Holes of Time. Caps Lock Notification App. VirtualBox and Windows 8. Raquo; 28 Nov 2013. Ok, so my previous post put a lot of blame on Windows 8, but I’ve come to realise it may be due to the environment (although, Windows 8: The Experience is still not great). A quick installation of Windows 8 on VMWare Player found it was working also. So there seems to be a defect in how VirtualBox handles keyboard input in Windows 8 guest, or maybe it was a dodgy install?

Donal Farrell - Windows 8 Horror
http://donalfarrell.com/2013/11/27/Windows8.html
London; Dublin; Belfast. About Me / CV. Black Holes of Time. Caps Lock Notification App. Raquo; 27 Nov 2013. While this doesn’t directly affect me (I use Crunchbang. My Dad finds it a pain in the ass, particularly when entering passwords. As I have a fair bit of C#/WPF experience I thought I’d whip up a quick notification on the desktop when in caps mode. I should be so lucky. I’ll have one more optimistic bash at it then I might burn a copy of windows 8 just to have the satisfaction of throwing it out.
