I had some computer troubles yesterday, so I’m posting my Ada Lovelace Day post a little late. It’s still March 24th in Hawaii though, so I think I’m alright really Like many others, I had a seriously hard time trying to decide who to write about. I’ve been so lucky in many ways, and [...] Costigan Quist says he’s not taking the Ada Lovelace challenge. But I think he’s missed the point, and in my own rambling fashion, I’ll shortly explain why. Before I do though, what is the challenge? Suw Charman-Anderson set up a pledge on PledgeBank, saying “I will publish a blog post on Tuesday 24th March about a [...] I’ve been enjoying twitter for a while now – but the ease with which it allows me to write down individual thoughts means that this blog has been rather neglected. In the last few weeks though, I’ve been thinking more and more about the various bits of technology, none of them things that would have been [...] Shane introduced me to the idea of CSS Naked Day via PlanetApache, and it’s today – so for one day only (unless I forget!), this blog is CSS-free. I’ve been interested in the issues of designing websites that work well in non-standard/text-based browsers/readers etc since I started in uni. Although I’m not a design person at [...] Having been invited to a couple of these in far-off lands (ok, maybe not that far…), I was delighted when an invite to an Irish Geek Girl Dinner landed in my inbox. It’s definitely not invite-only, so if any of you ladies are interested in joining some self-identified Geek Girls for dinner on 27th February, head [...] Stephen’s recently been questioned a bit about his email address validation regex – which has a few problems… Notably, it doesn’t allow for addresses like rob@uk, which I’m assured once existed (although I don’t believe it still does). He wasn’t aware of any TLDs with MX records – so, of course, I had to set out [...] From Ronan Kirby’s write-up of Skycon, about my lightning talk at the con: “Also, if anyone has a tape of this talk, there could be money made selling it to an energy drink company for commercial use.” The speaker notifications have gone out, the schedule is on the website, and registration is open. ApacheCon US 2006 is getting closer, and although I won’t be able to be there (it’s the very first week of college, and I’m hoping to be starting my final year… Aargh!), I’ve once again gone and turned out [...] Laura Thomson came all the way from Australia to present the last talk I went to at ApacheCon – PHP/MySQL Best Practices – and for me at least, it was well worth her trouble. This was originally submitted as a tutorial, and was only converted to a talk at the last minute, so we were [...] I didn’t get back to the room til about 4am today, so I was a bit scared to discover myself actually present and awake at this talk!
