About me

For the last decade and more, my fascination with taking things apart and putting them back together again has manifested itself in my habitual making, using and working with Internet stuff.

In addition to providing me with a soapbox, this site tracks what I’m up to online using feeds from Flickr, del.icio.us and others.

Balloonacy

Balloonacy
After an intense last 10 days’ sprint spent finishing and polishing, we launched Balloonacy on Tuesday 24th with a grand total of over 30,000 balloons and 840 sites signed up and accepted into the race. Seems to be going really well; people are playing and writing nice things about it, the system’s holding up (captain), the client’s happy and, in short, we’ve made animal-shaped balloons float across Internet. Which is nice.

Cookies are for Closers: Oren Hurvitz’s Blog » LinkedIn Architecture

Discussion of LinkedIn's back-end architecture. Particularly interesting bit about in-memory data graph; also, apparently no ORM. Eh.

Holding the line

Holding the line
Whole chunk of pavement was cordoned off outside the City police station in Bishopsgate, a couple of vans stood just out of shot (damn) and these chaps making sure no-one strayed from the path.

LRB · James Davidson: Plato Made It Up

Review of “The Atlantis Story: A Short History of Plato’s Myth” by Pierre Vidal-Naquet. Interesting placement of Plato’s ostensibly Solon-derived réportage into both Plato’s context and Vidal-Naquet’s.
