Google Code Goes Dark
So Google are shutting down Google Code. To be honest, I don’t think it will be much missed.

Google have obviously worked with GitHub and BitBucket to support migration. And, ironically, …
Quick And Dirty Java Analysis
I needed a quick and dirty way to see the class hierarchy and interface implementation of about 40 to 50 classes / interfaces in a small Java program. I didn’t need proper UML analysis / format or anything fancy. So a quick Python script + Graphviz did the job.
Clojars : A Note

(That’s exactly what I did with ThoughtStorms before I actually migrated …
Welcome to 2015 (part 2)
Bloody hell! I just wrote a blog post and WordPress lost it. Grrrr … The short resume was : yes, I’m late (Feb) continuing my “Welcome to 2015” blog posts. last year I got the functional programming bug. Haskell is pretty damned good, but I’ve fallen for Clojure because a) dynamic types, b) Lisp syntax(lessness), …
Welcome 2015
So, 2015, here already? Time to take stock. I haven’t been blogging as much as I should, but I’ve been pretty busy, so here’s the first of a couple of posts that give a quick run-down of the last year and thoughts on the next. I started 2014 with a number of questions that I …
