Structure 101 : Really understand your Java, C and C++ Code
Headway Software have just released a new version of Structure 101, their graphical tool for analysing the internal structure of software. I did some work with Headway way back in the day and have always loved this tool. If you program in Java you should check it out.
A salutary tale for all us Java and python pussies out there
heartbreakingly beautiful story of when men were men and shift right was king.
The “I’ll throw hardware at the problem” generation is reaping what they have sown and the crop is is called “global warming”.
Its been a while…
But I have to say, the wordpress whysiwyg editor is still a piece of shit. Its 2007 lads (and lasses), get with the program and fix this boil on the bum of wordpress (an altogther satisfactory piece of software in all other respects).
Marc goes large
Opsware goes out the door to HP for 1.6bn. We still love you Marc. Keep Ninging it.

Sony Ericsson Client Software – Stay away
Just tried the latest version of the Sony Ericsson client software. It failed to install but did manage to reduce my path definintions to two entries, FireFox and some Teleca rubbish (presumably the duffers they out sourced the client work to).
Great phones, shite software.
I suggest anybody with a Sony Ericsson take a look at Floats Mobile Agent as a alternative.
Padraig Harrington sweats us through the Open
Padraig throws off his choker tag to win a fantastic British Open Championship, Christ did he make us sweat though. I thought he’d had his “Van Der Velde” moment when he went into the water twice on the 18th.
First European winner of a major in eight years and its an Irish man, It doens’t get better than that!

Shift Happens
Nice link from Darren. We’re seeing more and more of these futurescape videos on YouTube (btw, how cool is your site when people don’t bother to hyperlink it anymore). They are all good.
