General musings on programming languages, and Java. Tuesday, October 27, 2009. 100 Bugs (ok, tickets) in 100 Days. I've now closed 100 tickets in the last 100 calendar days at work. Which might not mean a lot, but it's been a personal target of mine to get to this point, so I'll celebrate it by, um, blogging! Posted by Ricky Clarkson. Links to this post.

General musings on programming languages, and Java. Monday, January 18, 2010. JNI applets = pain! I mostly work on GUI software for controlling and viewing video from security cameras. The software is written in Java, and mostly written by people who are no longer with the company. The usual app I work on is a Swing application, but there is also an applet, which displays just a viewer; the controls for it are HTML buttons around the applet. Via JNI bindings generated by SWIG. This wasn't too bad, and we...

Ricky's technical blog: September 2009

General musings on programming languages, and Java. Saturday, September 26, 2009. Which language shall we learn? We decided, while drinking an overly-priced red wine the other night, that I'd help you to learn how to program, but without making it sound complicated. So, I thought I'd show you a few different language syntaxes and let you choose. Posted by Ricky Clarkson. Links to this post. It seems fairly trivial that, in, say, Java, Math.cos(double) is not object-oriented. It doesn't take any o...Metho...

General musings on programming languages, and Java. Tuesday, December 08, 2009. Deleting code, what first? I have about 200kloc of Java code to work with, and I often stumble across bits that are more complex than they need to be, costing me time when I'm trying to solve something else. Within reason, having a smaller body of code is an improvement. Here are my guidelines, mainly for myself, to shrinking it. Watch out for main methods when you delete code - there are a few ad-hoc utilities in our codebase.

Jon Cowie's blog. Skip to primary content. Why I retired mycrot.ch. November 26, 2012. Way back in 2009, I decided to buy myself an amusing vanity URL. After much careful thought, I ended up choosing mycrot.ch (I won’t lie, because I thought it was funny as hell), which I have been using for my personal site / blog until the end of last week. But I’ve now decided to retire it. Why? Now, for context as to what I was complaining about, have a look at the hall of fame at the bottom of this page. A good frie...
