http://www.ianwild.com The explosion will put out the fire Wed, 09 Dec 2009 00:43:34 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Went to the launch party this evening. The beer selection really is exceptional and I hope to god they can keep it in the same condition as it was tonight past the first few weeks. We work in the Electric Works opposite and the immediate area is so desperate for a ... http://www.ianwild.com/2009/12/09/sheffield-tap/ Put your article here http://www.ianwild.com/2009/07/28/about-this/ I love how basic tools can be used to such great effect as this. I'm off to Sudbury in Massachusetts next week. Googling I found their police log. Nothing too unusual, you can read a paper here for a similar thing (a bit more depressing in Sheffield than in New England mind you). But ... http://www.ianwild.com/2009/06/29/comments-done-right/ Over the years I've had loads of ideas for projects and it's no big deal that I haven't acted on any of them yet. When people do such a good job without me, I really don't mind. The reality is whatever I do build I'll be wanting all the building ... http://www.ianwild.com/2009/06/14/nice-looking-product/ While researching Picante de cuy (Guinea Pig with spices), which I'm determined to cook and eat sometime, I came across a recipe for Braised Cat. Unfortunately, this breaks one of my rules about eating meat, as I know what I feed my cat on, but it's all useful information in a ... http://www.ianwild.com/2009/05/26/i-think-id-like-cat/ I'm flying to California on Monday to meet the WANdisco team. I'd rather not fly. I'd like to sail over and maintain my green credentials. But it would take too long so flying it is. I'm going from Heathrow. The flights are the cheapest and direct, but that means I have ... http://www.ianwild.com/2009/05/11/totally-outragious-thats-what-it-is/ For the last six weeks I've been working for a company called WANdisco; a Silicon Valley based business with a product that the more I learn about, the more it fascinates me. In development since 2001, the current WANdisco product range is actually a two stage affair. First, a common replication ... http://www.ianwild.com/2009/05/11/how-to-use-subversion-at-two-sites/ So, the story quickly: - I order Oreilly's Subversion book from Amazon. I have just started working for WANdisco who sell a Multisite and replication solution for Subversion.  - I didn't ask initially, but when I do my boss is happy to pay for it on expenses, so I just need a VAT invoice. - ... http://www.ianwild.com/2009/05/01/amazon-lean-business-meh/ Again? Yep. After nearly 10 years, with just over three in my second stint, today I handed in my notice and will leave Plusnet at the end of February. Although I'm one of a few long in the tooth Plusnetters to move on recently, it's certainly nothing sinister. I've simply decided ... http://www.ianwild.com/2009/02/02/pastures-new-part-two/ I know it's not that unusual for random word captchas to be amusing. I've seen examples but never had one of my own, until today.   [caption id="attachment_55" align="alignnone" width="390" caption="Captcha Fail"][/caption] I tried to add some more comments but for all the rest what I was offered seemed pretty random.
