Web Services Blog

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Web services have finally got a blog! Well, they’ve had one before but this time it’s going to get maintained and looked after with a bit of TLC :-)

It’s a team blog so friends of mine, please bare that in mind before posting comments! I’ll be posting about all sorts of work related developments and technologies and I’ll reference the more interesting ones from here too.

symfony Search Engine

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

With more sites dedicated to symfony including Trac moving to a new domain and symfony-forge coming on stream I’ve found searching for symfony things is a bit more tricky - Google’s returning results all over the place. So I’ve created a Google Co-op search engine for symfony.

Only a few sites on there at the moment but I’ll add more as I use them. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Presentation Skills

I think I need to hone up on my presentation skills a little bit. These guys have got it sorted…

Google Maps in 3D

Friday, April 13th, 2007

Ed Parsons points to the new 3D Google Maps that’s available for certain US cities and Tokyo.  It would be nice to see some of the user-generated models being places on the maps because otherwise my local area might be flat for quite a long time to come!  I’ve been reading Ed’s blog for a while now and it will be very interesting to see what he brings out of Google :-)

SymfonyCamp

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

The idea of SymfonyCamp is being mooted on the symfony mailing lists at the moment.  Sounds like a good idea to me and it seems to have worked in other open source areas.  It would be good to find out if any of the Sensio guys or the rest of the symfony core team are able to fit it into their diaries as I’m sure it would be good to have them involved.

Alan Johnston Joint Broadcast

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

Just watched the joint broadcast from the BBC, Sky News, al-Jazeera and CNN. Really good to see four big news organisations coming out publicly to support the message. The day news organisations scale back their broadcasts, even the ones we don’t agree with, will be a very sad day indeed.

Mad Juggling

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

For anyone who thinks that juggling three balls is easy! Just came across this video of Chris Bliss:

I think I can do about six of those tricks :-)
