Welcome to Cardigan Bay
Cardigan Bay is my new wiki-engine written in Clojure / ClojureScript. I’ve been working on it for about three months, and it’s a long way from finished, but now interesting enough for people to start playing with (and hopefully giving me some feedback on). The goal is for this to be the new engine behind…

Working with the file system is too verbose. Let's make it more like JQuery!
Working with the file system in Python is too verbose. Seriously. Every time I want to do something with files I need to remember whether it’s the `os` or `sys` library that I need to import. I need to remember or look up half a dozen other functions to grab particular bits of metadata from…

August is Patterning Month
August is Patterning month again. I’m back to work on the Patterning library. And, in particular, getting it working properly in the ClojureScript, in-browser version. I’m going to be using devcards, figwheel, spec and other good tools in the Clojure community. I’ll be revamping the site and new versions of the code. Watch this space…

Project ThoughtStorms Update
Been working quite a lot on Project ThoughtStorms, the new Python / Bottle based wiki engine behind ThoughtStorms in the last few days. I can’t believe that I’ve spent 15 years building a wiki without creating my own software. That error is going to be rectified from now on. Sure, most of what I’m doing…

MTC on PocketCHIP
You all probably knew where this was going, right? Of course, it’s been my priority to run the new MTC on the PocketCHIP. And it runs fine, without any special conversion; just needed to figure out how to install a library it depended on without going through drracket. Now I’m off for my celebratory bike…

Tweaking / Refactoring OWL / OWLdroid
A bit of tweaking and refactoring OWL and OWLdroid over the last couple of days. If you’re trying them out, thinking of doing any development on OWL, it’s worth updating. What’s up : – the main purpose of this work was to bring the OWL and OWLdroid versions of the code-base back together. They’d drifted…

Questions for 2014 : #2 Project ThoughtStorms
Second in a series of questions occupying my mind at the beginning of 2014. Which may (or may not) inform what I’ll be working on. 2) What About Project ThoughtStorms? Unlike the first question in the series, this one is relatively light. It’s obvious that OWL is the new SdiDesk. And where my private personal…

Questions for 2014 : #1 Mind Traffic Control
I’m not going to be making predictions for 2014. Or promises that I may or may not keep. Or even resolutions. At least, not public ones : who knows what crazy trajectories my life will take this year? But I do have a couple of questions. These are the things occupying my mind at the…

Project ThoughtStorms Wikish Plugin Update
There’s a quick update to the wikish plugin for Project ThoughtStorms (that’s the plugin type that offers UseMode / SdiDesk style wiki markup for the Smallest Federated Wiki). I’ve now added the double-comma defined tables. So oranges,, apples,, pears 43,, 55,, 22 Now becomes oranges apples pears 43 55 22 Although not nearly as elegant.…

OWL Bug Fixed
Hopefully that OWL bug I mentioned a few weeks ago is now fixed in the repository. It was really just a a bit of configuration that failed on new installs. But I wanted to test that my fix was really working. Hope it is now. Looks like it is for me.
