I’m pleased to announce my latest offering to the interwebs. If you’ve recently moved house or are otherwise in an unfamilar area, you may want to know where the nearest shops are; well http://www.wherearetheshops.co.uk can answer that question for you. At the moment, just the big four supermarkets can be located, but I hope to redress that as time goes by. I in no way endorse any store represented on the site, and provide this service “as is”. Any thoughts/suggestions are very much welcome.
It is with a heavy heart that I leave Valley Technology today. As is becoming increasingly common at present, Valley Tech have had to reign in expenses, and unfortunately redundancies are a necessary evil in these hard times. I am a hard working and enthusiastic web developer with a broad range of skills – so if anyone is hiring, please do get in touch.
I’ve just come across goodreads – another social-networking site, with a difference. The site lets you add books you’ve read with arbitrary tags, giving reviews, ratings etc. The site also offers a REST API that returns XML based on request URIs using OAuth for authentication where required. I’m going to add some books to it and have a play with the API.
At work, I have a Snom 360 IP phone that is hooked up to our internal Asterisk PBX. If I’m listening to music with my headphones in, I’m not always aware that my phone is ringing – some Perl and PHP hacking later, I’ve got a crude (and work-in-progress) solution.
